Beyoncé
first announced “Cowboy Carter” during a surprise Super Bowl commercial in February when she released singles “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The 27-track project has been huge catalyst for the recent spotlight on Black country artists and the genre’s roots.
Prior to sharing the album with the rest of the world, Beyoncé
got candid about creating the five-year project and alluded to her 2016 performance at the CMA Awards.
“This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she wrote on Instagram. “The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. Act ii is a result of challenging myself and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work.”
In July 2022, Beyoncé released
her seventh studio album, “Renaissance.” The project earned her four Grammys in 2023 including best dance/electronic music album, making her the most decorated artist in the awards’ history. She later announced the album was the first part of a three-act project, making “Cowboy Carter” the second.
The following year, she announced her Renaissance World Tour and kicked off the record-breaking tour. It began May 10, 2023, in Stockholm, Sweden, and concluded Oct. 1, 2023, in Kansas City, Missouri, with Beyoncé performing a total of 56 shows.
The 32-time Grammy winning singer followed up the massive tour with her concert-film titled
“Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.”
The movie documented the inner workings of the tour and debuted in theaters in November 2023.
