Less than 2 years after riding her seventh solo studio album, ‘Renaissance: Act I,‘ to the top of the Billboard 200, music megastar Beyonce has saddled up to repeat the feat with its successor: ‘Act II: Cowboy Carter.’
Surprise-announced during the Super Bowl in 2024, the Country-inspired venture was led by two history-making singles – the chart-topping ‘Texas Hold ‘Em‘ and the top 40 smash ‘16 Carriages.’
A 27-track affair, ‘Cowboy’ has corralled iconic names like Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Ryan Tedder, Raphael Saadiq, and more on its list of contributors.

Beyonce is the Michael Jackson of this generation & is currently paving the way for the NEXT Michael Jackson. I have not heard ANY song off COWBOY CARTER yet, and that includes Texas Hold Em. 💯 🐝 🍯
Beyonce is the BIGGEST artist of our generation while still remaining the most UNDERRATED at the same time. 💯 🐝 🍯
The 👑 COWBOY CARTER Album will cause Spotify to CRASH after it gets 1 Billion streams within first 24 hours. 💯 🐝 🍯

No thanks. Return to sender pls.

Beyonce has never been underrated dummy
She is the biggest star of this Generation, yes. And performance-wise that title is definitely earned. Her catalogue though has some standouts, but is mediocre overall imo. And this album is not it. The best song is Jolene and thats not even hers
The charts have spoken this album is trash without Miley DESTINY Hope Cyrus
That’s a lie. Nobody that says they get jizzed on in the back of a limo, and that they put the pages of the holy book in their demonic snatch will ever be Michael. Beyonce is far too vulgar. She is huge, but she doesn’t have the catalog to be mentioned in the same breath.
Beyonce was never a ped o file. Mj was way more vulgar with all the children he r a p e d and m o l e s t e d.
And bey has way way better albums than mj, way more grammys and more #1 albums than Mj. More critically acclaimed albums. Beyonce album dangerously in love is perfectly on par with mjs best album HISTORY.
😢 OMG, I’m in TEARS!!!! 😭
I’m here hollerin lol 😂
you mean your meat is sweating?
Taylor Swift is coming in 19 days and the legendary Kenny Chesney just dropped last week. But first let’s get into these songwriting credits and royalties… check please?
I was thinking this could be the first time she disappoints but of course I was wrong. A great introspective album with some get up and dance moments. Just wish she would’ve had Megan on Tyrant cause it’d be perfect!
Don’t lie . lol 😂
Tyrant will get a rap female verse remix single treatment! I thought the same, Megan would have been perfect on that!!
As a bey stan… i was scared, but now, WOW. I love this. I will say, the album really thrives on the second half, but the first half is nothing to scoff at. This album seamlessly blends genre’s. Its a 9/10 for me due to the slower first half.
I stopped reading after Bey Stan. You have blood on ur hands why wouldn’t you like this. Many careers were killed so you can post.
Oh oh my my this album is out of this world !!! An experience !!! All songe are so emotional the level of production esquosite! I have no words… breathtaking !
It’s giving flop and boring ass album
Yeah Pink Friday 2 was but COWBOY CARTER is hitting tho!
I actually listened to it simply out of curiosity – and I’m actually…impressed?!
This is actually pretty good – well put together. I had it on from start to finish while doing stuff at home and i really enjoyed it haha, kinda shocked, but do give it a listen!
I just can’t get into the whole album. There’s some great tracks like bodyguard, but it’s toooo long, and self indulgent. That said, it’s a whole new level of f*** you to the racists. What a way of slamming CMAs.
FlopBoy Flopter!!
Album is a major try hard flop!!!
it is a long ass album and we are hard to digest it. I’m tired of these taco bell music
Not feeling it…:simply overdone and repetitive. Stay in yo lane, gurl💅🏻 country ain’t yo thang. Next album will be named “Stripper Carter” 😂🤣😂💀
She gon force feed us Carter just like she’s forced fed Carter every day she’s crazy and yall got no self esteem or voice just like her. Speaking for someone has never worked in society and Bey ain’t no different. She use her voice only to get Taylor n Nicki fans on the bandwagon. Very manipulative deceptive and fraudulent business model. Yuck over 25 years in the game and STILL no dignity for a coin
This blog need to unpin the s*** n give every artist the same level of respect and credit yall hype beyonce up
Too much. We are human beings not everybody likes it and we hate being forced
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The whole album is not showing any progression nor grown for her vocal. I thought i was listening emotion or if i were a boy with acoustic guitar… This is not the real blue eyed country, just a R&B singer singing on some random country songs.
Gurl shut the hell up
No, don’t shut up this is perfect example of when a Bey Stan can’t take intelligent discussion on music and not cults
WRONG AND LOUD 🤣 Nothing he said tripped me up. I just hate stupidity that’s all. This hands down in Beyoncé most vocally advanced and introspected album to date. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly a hater
I’m so sorry. This album is just not good to me. Nothing stands out to me Nothing is remarkable to me. And I find Beyoncé’s voice overbearing. This project is giving: “I tried too hard. I overcompensated. I’m insecure.”
And I’m not worried about bee stings. I have my beekeeper outfit on. 😏
You’re a highly valued critic. That’s why you get paid the big bucks right? And are currently in a better position than Beyoncé? You know exactly what you’re talking about, and you know all about music and what it takes to make a Grammy winning body of work. So thank you 😊
Listen, these artists work for US, not the other way around. As Streamers, not to mention those who still buy albums, we have the right to critique where our money is being spent. Like, why would people even want to put their money in a brand where we are silenced and forced to be whatever the trend is at the moment. It’s funny for a moment to have a hives, but for humanity and music’s sake, y’all shouldn’t be too proud of being called (worker) Bees. Furthermore, we all may actually be very informed critics but with a household name like Beyonce, people can have an opinion on her body of work. Not everyone has to protect her like yall do. But still the real tea is why yall go so hard like we live in an alternate reality every time. For example, we still waiting for the Diabetes and her projections and sources, cuz I swore it was simply a sugar rush as usual. No shade sis is a powerful artists, but no musician is worth this level of politics, argumentation and silence by fans and the artists community, including Beyonce herself. None of it is worth this s***.
Gurl you just said a whole bunch of nothing lol 😂 I’m not even finna read all of that. You say all of this, but clearly that means you listen, to every album she drops, EVERY SINGLE TIME, dumbass. If there’s an artist that I don’t like, I’m not even gonna bother to listen. If what you’re saying is true, and you believe artist work for “US”, You’ve gotta be the biggest dumbass to continue to invest into an artist that lets you down time and time again. What an idiot 😂 don’t be mad at Bey. Be mad at ya damn self.
The song bodyguard has backing vocals from taylor swift. Beyonce knew she should get the biggest artist of our generation to help sell it.
Not true. There’s no credits of that. She never needed Taylor. Never will. You thought you ate lol
She had taylor there for her tour movie premiere, saying that it flopped badly compared taylors eras tour movie. Only made 44 million Worldwide compared to taylors 250 million
Documentary vs Concert.
A documentary wouldn’t show full footage of her songs. Theyd just be clips. 34 songs are shown from the concert. Over a period of 2 hours and 50 minutes.
And then when it comes out to be true yall gon flip flop again. Listen where are these credits cuz the first two lead singles were written by Canadians. Dolly generally wrote all her albums entirely herself. What is the tea, mother Carta is jus not the girl yall tryna make her out to Bey.
Babe we’re being FED by our Queen Bey 👑 you really think we care about anything you talking about? 🤣🤣🤣 Texas Hold ‘Em went number #1 and held that top spot for 3 weeks and the album didn’t even drop. Currently still top 10 and now she’s gonna hit #1 again 😂 we are well fed, full, and happy. Our gracious QUEEN OF KNTRY is having the best era of her career, and you’re here to witness. Enjoy the show bookie 😘
Cowboy Bee-Bots get their #1’s and still mad cuz they can’t shut humans up.
You’re the one mad babe 🤭 the BeyHive is EATING 🍝🐝🐝🐝
2 weeks.
This album is a dam mess. So many people do country albums way better than this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. It was a snooze fest I fast forward through every song. It was hard to listen to.
Thanks for still listening, you helped us break a new streaming record bookie. Love you 😘
Renaissance was a much better album. Cowboy at times sounds like one long song. A few standouts but I barely remember them. Chris Brown teas….
It hasn’t even been 24hrs babe. What are you even talking about? 😂
Shame for all the stings, the girls are quite alive.
Everything she does is so overrated and overhyped.
Ok, and?
and that’s why folks should be able to critique and move on like everyone else.
She needs to tour the chitlin circuit if she is bout that life like she claim lol
YOU need to tour the chitlin circuit. 🐝
Yes, they wana try he Chitlin Circuit then Smoke these Bees out like Fantasia scared her whole family with the blood of Jesus #ProudMary #HistoricalMoment #ScaredSTIFF at the Grammys while ur the most celebrated artists of all time? Lmao Sasha h** you made some sacrifices but you ain’t fool nobody.
I listened to Cowboy Carter and gave it an open minded chance. But it’s the same thing that nearly every Beyoncé album fails at. It thinks overindulgent unnecessary (though impressive) vocal showcase can make up for its extremely forgettable and boring songwriting. It never can.
Name an artist that (According to you) doesn’t have this problem within their catalog?
Sounds to me tho that you just don’t like her VOICE, hard to like the music if you think the Voice is boring…
That’s exactly why I’ve literally NEVER listened to any Ariana Grande album, the voice is BORING AS HELL to me so almost EVERYTHING sounds bland forgettable and SKIP-ABLE.
Sounds like the world wants a new Queen and the girls are scrambling playing House of Cards
Meh. I just don’t find her music to be that impressive. She and her team/stans creates so much hype and think pieces whenever she breathes that people are afraid to truly critique her. Shes a great showman other than that the music is never great.
Go listen to lana del rey then.
32 grammys >>>>> 👑
🐝
Lana Del Rey writes her songs.
Meh. I just don’t find her music to be that impressive. She and her team/stans creates so much hype and think pieces whenever she breathes that people are afraid to truly critique her. Shes a great showman other than that the music is never great.
The same was said about Renaissance which won 4 grammys with a 90+ critic score.
Idc I said what I said hun
32 grammys >>> yur opinion 🐝
And yet she’s still crying about not winning album of the year. This is the problem with her fans. Yall put her on this deity like level like she can do no wrong. Do us both a favor and exit my replies. YOUR opinion is irrelevant to me.
🐝
Renaissance Lost to Harry Styles and the world moved on from both albums the next day.
It hasn’t even been a full 24 hours and already the haters who said they “wouldn’t” listen 😂 are complaint and btching. Like most Beyonce’ albums, you have to let it simmer, give it another listen to understand it fully. Then BOOM masterpiece. You’ll all be rooting a diff horn like you always do LOL 😂 Either way though, thanks for streaming!!!! BEEYYYHAWWW!!! 🐝 🤠 🇺🇸 #COWBOYCARTER
Best Canadian Country Album Out cuz she sure ain’t write these songs and far outa the US for these writers. BeeHaw? Get ready for CowboyCon cuz the cosplay girls are out giving a real Toy Story moment
And you’ll be sick of it 😘🤣🤣🤣
Quit hanging from her klit. I hope you are on her payroll f**.
If y’all wanna listening to a real White pop gurl doing country, go listen to Gaga’s Joanne, Miley’s younger now, Kesha’s rainbow or Colbie Caillat’s along the way.
EXACTLY The nerve of these fools. And since we all listen to pop, and since “country originated in black roots,” says Beyonce, then yall shouldn’t have a problem listening to the Genre and actually critiquing with evidence other than Beyonce. You’re dumbing yourselves down for no reason. Very harmful to society that’s why we comment to push back no matter what accolades are given out. We are human, we see what’s happening.
Blah blah blah. Yada Yada Yada. Are you done talking? 😂
NO THX
Already love the 2 prereleases and among the rest, II Hands II Heaven, Jolene, Daughter, Protector, Leviis Jeans, Tyrant, and II Most Wanted are the ones that stand out the most for me so far. Still getting acquainted, but already feel it’s a great album in general, in my opinion. I especially love her take on Jolene and this is my first time listening to a Post Malone song but I really like her duet with him as well.
Post Malone is the true tea, eating it up opening on Taylor’s album too. W/ Jack Harlow in the background storming Justin Timberlake. The White Boys are back and their shedding their good boy look for some curls, face tats and black girls. It’s also weird like this damn cowboy album but America is eating it up too and not saying nothing as the Black man is forced into the fatal rap game. Or yall pay it dust like Jon Batiste, who also kills the game. But where is the black man superhero? Cuz it’s not usher and Beyonce can front for only so long she not our Wonder Woman either.
No body cares 🤣🤣🤣🤣
To me it’s not with this album, again, that she will top B’Day.
