When did Beyoncé release Cowboy Carter?
Beyoncé released her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, on March 29, 2024.
Cowboy Carter marks Beyoncé’s first country music album ever.
The singer released the single Texas Hold ‘Em ahead of the album’s launch and became the first Black female artist to top the Hot Country Songs chart.
“I feel honored to be the first Black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart,” Beyoncé shared on Instagram.
“This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album. This is act ii COWBOY CARTER, and I am proud to share it with y’all!”
The album is her longest one to date with 27 tracks and an almost 80-minute run time.
Cowboy Carter features collaborations from Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, and Post Malone, and a cover of Dolly Parton’s Jolene.
Dolly herself provides a spoken interlude on the track Dolly P.
The mom-of-three explained: “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.
“But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of country music and studied our rich musical archive.”
