Cowboy Carter is set to be released on March 29, and Beyoncé recently shared insights into the inspiration behind her upcoming album in a detailed statement. The highly anticipated album is expected to showcase Beyoncé's venture into country music, with the release of two lead singles last month: '16 Carriages' and 'Texas Hold 'Em.' The latter quickly climbed to the top spot on the Hot 100 chart, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to achieve this feat on the Hot Country Songs chart.
In her statement, Beyoncé expressed gratitude for the support that led to her historic achievement and emphasized her hope for a future where an artist's race is irrelevant in defining music genres. She revealed that Cowboy Carter was born out of an experience over five years ago where she felt excluded from the country music scene.
