"Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter': Unveiling the Inspiration Behind the Album"

Beyoncé revealed that her upcoming album, Act II: Cowboy Carter, was born from her experience of not feeling welcomed in the country music genre. She expressed gratitude for the support she received for her country songs and hopes for a future where an artist's race is irrelevant in music genres. The album, in the making for over five years, is a result of her challenging herself and blending genres. Beyoncé teased collaborations with respected artists and emphasized that it's a "Beyoncé" album, not a country album. The announcement was made in a Super Bowl commercial for Verizon, where she humorously attempts to break the internet but ends with the message "OK, they ready. Drop the new music."
