Review

Cowboy Carter is Beyoncé walking into country music through the front door, the back door, and a hole she kicks in the wall herself. Released March 29, 2024, it is her eighth studio album and the second act after Renaissance, but it does not play like a neat genre exercise. It sprawls: country, pop, soul, rock, folk, gospel, rodeo-radio theater, and plenty of Beyoncé flexing because she can. The fun part is how pointed it feels without turning into homework. "Texas Hold 'Em" makes the hoedown go stadium-size, "16 Carriages" slows everything down into something bruised and personal, and her "Jolene" rewrite turns pleading into a warning shot. Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Linda Martell, Miley Cyrus, and Post Malone all appear, but the album still feels like Beyoncé steering the whole strange parade. In 2025, Cowboy Carter won Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Country Album, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to win Best Country Album.
