IRVING, Texas — Beyoncé lovers donned cowboy hats and boots this weekend as they descended upon parties across the country, in dance clubs and bookstores alike, to celebrate Queen Bey’s new album, “Cowboy Carter.” At a club outside of Dallas, Tamera W. and her friends showed up in large cowboy hats and short shorts, with their hair pulled back or in pigtails. It wasn’t long before their cowboy boots had scuff marks from dancing.
” Black country artists have lauded the project and said they hoped it would bring more visibility to Black country artists. This seemed to be important to Beyoncé too, as she featured Black country artists including Willie Jones, Reyna Roberts, Tiera Kennedy, Brittney Spencer, Adell and Shaboozey, on “Cowboy Carter.” The album also gives proverbial flowers to Linda Martell, 82, the first solo Black woman country artist to play in the Grand Ole Opry.
