After receiving a substantial about of backlash for performing alongside the Chicks on the 2016 Nation Music Awards, the place they collaborated on a rendition of “Daddy Classes” off her album “Lemonade,” Beyoncé went forward and gathered up a number of the style’s legends — Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Linda Martell — for the discharge of her newest full-length, “Cowboy Carter,” which VP Kamala Harris lately known as an inspiration. So take THAT, CMA.
In a publish to X (previously Twitter) on the day the album was launched, Harris expresses her appreciation to the artist instantly, writing, “Beyoncé: Thanks for reminding us to by no means really feel confined to different individuals’s perspective of what our lane is. You might have redefined a style and reclaimed nation music’s Black roots.Your music continues to encourage us all.”
And Harris is not the one official toe-tapping to the album. In a publish of her personal, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) shares a cute clip of herself kicking up her toes on her desk, having swapped out heels with cowboy boots, together with the caption, “Michigan, are you tuned into KNTRY radio? #CowboyCarter.”
Regardless of the trolling from nation followers doubting that Beyoncé might pull it off, she is the primary Black girl to high Billboard’s nation chart.
