Tina Knowles Defends Beyoncé’s Foray Into Country Music and Writes Cowboys Don’t Belong to “White Culture Only”

Tina Knowles and Beyonce.

Beyoncé, as she does, made history and broke ground yesterday, this time as the first Black female artist to ever have a No. 1 song on Billboard’s Hot Country charts, which she did with her new single “Texas Hold ‘Em.” That song, along with “16 Carriages” (which also made its debut on the chart at No. 9) are both on Beyoncé’s forthcoming Renaissance: Act II, out March 29; all of the above were announced at the Super Bowl on February 11.
