Beyoncé Reveals ‘Cowboy Carter’ Spawned From Her Not Feeling “Welcomed” in Country Music

"My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant," the Grammy-winning artist wrote about her upcoming album.

The artist announced Act II in a Super Bowl commercial and dropped two songs: “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” Beyoncé shared the cover art for the album on Instagram, along with a lengthy caption, celebrating the 10-day countdown to the Cowboy Carter release. She explained that the album has been in the making for over five years and was born from an experience in which she “did not feel welcomed” after facing criticisms when she first tried to enter the country genre.
