At 42 years old, she is reveling in the overwhelming applause for her latest country album, Cowboy Carter, which she released on Thursday evening.
Cowgirl Carter made a grand entrance at midnight EST on Friday and instantly became the album with the highest number of streams in a single day on Spotify this year, as reported by Billboard. She paired a stunning dress with matching opera gloves, high stilettos, and, of course, a classic cowgirl hat to complete the look.
With her flowing platinum blonde hair framing her face, the international sensation added a touch of glamour with bronze-tinted sunglasses. At times, she would drape a coat that coordinated with her ensemble over her shoulders in a chic, nonchalant manner without slipping her arms into the sleeves.
In addition to sharing behind-the-scenes moments with her fans, Beyoncé also posted photos capturing their emotional reactions, including one fan who was brought to tears upon meeting her. The album featured a bold cover of Dolly Parton’s 1973 hit “Jolene,” along with a duet titled “II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus.
A standout track on the album is “Protector,” which features an introduction by Beyoncé’s six-year-old daughter Rumi with Jay-Z. This collaboration follows their Grammy win for the song “Brown Skin Girl,” which they recorded together three years ago.
She kicked off the album’s release by hosting a signing event for her excited fans at Tower Records in Shibuya City, Tokyo.

Recently, Beyoncé revealed the cover art for Cowboy Carter and also addressed the criticism she faced for venturing into the country genre.
As the countdown to the release of act II began, the Grammy winner expressed her gratitude to all the fans who supported her singles TEXAS HOLD ‘EM and 16 CARRIAGES with all her heart.
Being the first Black woman to top the Hot Country Songs chart was a moment of great pride for Beyoncé, made possible by the overwhelming support of her fans.
She hopes to see a future where an artist’s race is no longer a defining factor when it comes to exploring different genres of music.
The album cover features Beyoncé riding a horse and holding an American flag, dressed in a patriotic red, white, and blue leather outfit with a stylish silver Stetson hat.
With a voluminous silver wig blowing in the wind and a sash displaying the album title across her chest, Beyoncé exudes confidence and flair.
In the caption, Beyoncé shared that the album was a result of years of hard work and reflection, inspired by an experience where she felt unwelcome in a certain musical community.
Her journey led her to delve into the rich history of Country music, finding unity and empowerment in bringing people together through music and honoring those who have dedicated their lives to preserving musical heritage.
She paired the dress with coordinating opera gloves and sky-high stiletto heels, topping it off with a classic cowgirl hat.
With her platinum blonde hair flowing down her shoulders like a waterfall of silk, the world-renowned celebrity enhanced her beauty with carefully applied makeup.

Teasing surprises on the album, Beyoncé mentioned collaborations with respected artists and expressed her hope that listeners can feel the heart and soul, love, and passion she poured into every detail and sound. She described the album as a continuation of her artistic journey, focusing on creating an immersive musical experience.
Emphasizing that her new album is a reflection of her artistry as “Beyoncé,” she proudly shared Act II: COWBOY CARTER with her fans. Beyoncé, a Houston native, first explored country music with the track “Daddy Issues” from her 2016 album Lemonade. Her performance of the song at the Country Music Association Awards garnered controversy, with racist comments flooding social media platforms. Despite initial backlash, Beyoncé remains committed to her craft and artistic vision.
Last month, Beyoncé surprised fans with the announcement of her new country project. She dropped two singles, 16 Carriages and Texas Hold ‘Em, during the Super Bowl.
Both tracks were total bangers, hitting the charts hard when Beyoncé dropped them during the Super Bowl as part of her latest country music project. “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em” both made a splash, especially the latter which smashed its way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs chart. Beyoncé’s success with “Texas Hold ‘Em” marked a historic moment as she became the first black woman to conquer the country music scene. And let’s not forget the banjo magic by folk musician Rhiannon Giddens featured in the track. Despite the overall positive reception, not everyone was on board, with rapper Azealia Banks throwing some shade Beyoncé’s way.
Beyoncé, a native of Houston, delved into the country music genre for the first time with a track titled Daddy Issues on her Lemonade album released in 2016.
During that year’s Country Music Association Awards, she gave a controversial performance of the song with the girl group then known as The Dixie Chicks. Banks took to Instagram to express her opinion, stating, “Yes, black girls can do country music… but you’re missing the mark. Beyoncé, please stop this madness.” Known for her brutally honest remarks, Banks also criticized Beyoncé for trying to break into a genre just for the sake of gaining more popularity. A source revealed to DailyMail.com that Beyoncé was prepared for any backlash to her country album, as she was determined to shed light on the African-American influence in the genre. Her hit single “Daddy Lessons” and performance at the CMAs inspired her to explore the country music genre further.
