Cowboy Carter didn't just do well; it debuted at No. 1, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to secure that slot on the Top Country Albums chart. The LP, while genre-blending, is deeply heartfelt, personal in a way that feels urgent and refreshing. Beyoncé also didn't hold back in terms of speaking about her mindset around the project, pulling inspiration from her life and background.
Cowboy Carter was also conceived in response to Beyoncé's experience at the 2016 CMA Awards, which she called 'an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed.' She continued, 'My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist's race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant.'
