Beyoncé took to social media on Saturday to mark the success of her latest country album, Act II: Cowboy Carter, which has been a groundbreaking achievement in music history since its debut on March 29. The 42-year-old singer, who became the first Black woman to have a number one country album, shared a photo of herself wearing a black T-shirt featuring a picture of Linda Martell’s Color Me Country album cover. Linda Martell, whose song “The Linda Martell Show” is included on Beyoncé’s album, expressed her approval of the tribute on social media. The T-shirt was styled with a cinched waist and tied back to highlight Beyoncé’s toned midriff.
Beyonce recently showcased her latest country album, Act II: Country Carter, on social media with a stunning photo spread. She rocked a stylish look with high-waisted black shorts, knee-high black boots, and a chic black, tan, and orange plaid coat. Her signature long, blonde hair was styled in loose curls, and she sported flawless makeup with a nude lip. To complete the look, she accessorized with layered necklaces and aviator sunglasses with brown lenses that complemented her warm complexion. Fans were quick to express their love for the album in the comments, with one fan declaring it their favorite Bey album ever. Some fans were eager to see Beyonce hit the road for a tour. One photo even revealed a record store wall covered with vinyl copies of her Cowboy Country album.
The 42-year-old singer flaunted her figure in a fitted black T-shirt, matching knit shorts, and stylish over-the-knee boots while stopping by a local record shop.
The musician and lyricist showed respect and admiration for the women who blazed a trail before her. She wore a black T-shirt with a picture of the album cover from Linda Martell’s Color Me Country.
The collaboration between Cowoby Carter and Beyonce on the track “Sweet * Honey * Buckiin’ with Shaboozy” was a highlight of The Linda Martell Show.
Beyonce happily grabbed a copy of her latest single and held it lovingly. Despite reaching number one, Texas Hold ‘Em has settled in at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, making waves in the Hot Country Songs chart as well. Another track, Sixteen Carriages, made its debut at number nine on the country charts and currently sits at number 38 on the Hot 100.
Fans have been enjoying other songs from the album, with II Most Wanted featuring Miley Cyrus at number six and Jolene at number seven in the top ten. Dolly Parton, 78, took to social media to share her excitement about Beyonce’s version of Jolene, giving the singer some well-deserved recognition.
Levii’s Jeans, at number 16, not only boosted sales for the jeans company but also led to increased foot traffic and share prices for Levi Strauss & Co according to Women’s Wear Daily. Bodyguard made its debut on the charts at number 26, while the remake of the Beatles’ hit, Blackbird, featuring Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts is right behind at number 27.
Paul McCartney himself praised Beyonce’s rendition of Blackbird on Twitter, showing his happiness with the singer’s interpretation of the classic song.
The record-breaking artist achieved a milestone by becoming the first African American woman to top the country album charts.
Currently, Cowboy Carter has three songs sitting pretty in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Texas Hold ‘Em” is holding strong at number 2, “II Most Wanted” featuring Miley Cyrus is sitting comfortably at number six, and “Jolene” is making its mark at number seven. How cool is that?
Levii’s Jeans hit the scene at number 16 and instantly became a game-changer for the denim brand. Following the release of Cowboy Carter’s single, Levi Strauss & Co saw a 20% surge in customer visits to its US stores and a significant bump in its stock price.
In total, the Cowboy Carter album has managed to land an impressive 18 tracks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, proving its popularity among listeners.
I believe her rendition of the song is outstanding, and it really captures the essence of the civil rights message that inspired me to write it. Beyoncé’s version is fantastic, and I highly recommend giving it a listen if you haven’t already. You’re sure to enjoy it!
