Beyoncé is making waves by branching out into country music and has become the first Black woman to top the Hot Country Songs chart. She’s continually shown us she can conquer any music genre, from her days with Destiny’s Child to her solo career with the most Grammy nominations ever.
Fans and the media were surprised when Beyoncé dropped her latest country tracks, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages,” during the Super Bowl weekend. Both songs quickly became hits. As part of a 10-day countdown to her new album “Cowboy Carter,” which continues the theme of “Renaissance,” she revealed its cover on March 29th.
Embracing her Houston, Texas roots, Beyoncé posed on a white horse, styled in a red, white, and blue latex cowboy outfit complete with matching chaps, looking every bit the equestrian. The ensemble was put together by celebrity stylist Shiona Turini, who added white pointy-toe boots and a muted white cowboy hat. Beyoncé’s hairstylist, Nakia Collin, had her long platinum blonde hair flowing in the wind.
Beyoncé also released a limited-edition cover vinyl, shot by Mason Poole, available on her website. This cover features her posing nude with a sash that reads “act ii Beyoncé” and holding a burning cigar, exuding sex appeal. Her cornrows, adorned with red and white beads, gave off a ‘Solange’ vibe.
These bold cover images are getting everyone excited, and if the visuals for “Cowboy Carter” are anything like these, fans are in for a treat!
