Lily Allen Calls Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Country Music Campaign ‘Quite Calculated’
Lily Allen called Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' rollout, particularly its focus on country music, 'quite calculated.' See what else she said here.
on Thursday (April 4), the British singer-songwriter started by dissecting Bey’s revamped take on the Dolly Parton classic — which finds the “Texas Hold ‘Em” artist singing updated lyrics seemingly about her husband. The “Smile” artist went on to knock Bey’s choice to cover “Jolene” on Cowboy Carter, a move that was personally endorsed by the country icon. As far as the Cowboy Carter rollout goes, Allen thinks Bey’s pivot to country has been “quite calculated.” “The front cover is her in a cowboy hat, riding on a horse,” she said, noting that she thinks Jay-Z’s remarks at the 2024 Grammys about the Recording Academy continuously snubbing the Destiny’s Child alum for album of the year were “part of this campaign.”
