Get ready to welcome a LOT of new country fans into the fold, because this happened last night: Beyoncé is going country. (!!!) After her Verizon ad aired during the Super Bowl, she announced a new country album called “Renaissance Act 2”, out March 29th.
A few astute fans thought something like this could be coming after she wore a cowboy hat to the Grammys last weekend.
She released the first two songs from it: One called “Texas Hold ‘Em” that’s twangy, but also very Beyoncé. The other is called “16 Carriages”.
Gee . . . it’s almost like people are suddenly realizing country music is cool. (People)
(PROFANITY WARNING: The lyrics in “Texas Hold ‘Em” include the S-word and other profanity. The lyrics to “16 Carriages” are clean.)
