I love it. Ya Ya is lit. I listened to the whole thing well past my bedtime and it was worth it.

✨I listened to the entire album in the wee hours this morning and OMG 🤯🤩😍 THIS album is absolute FIRE 🔥 Probably my favorite work of Beyoncé’s besides when she’s covered the classics, Etta, Aretha, Tina…✨

She's on her way to the Country Music Hall of Fame And Museum

I live in Canada and I remember and love Charley Prides music ❤️

Epic…the most innovative body of work. What a master piece. It’s been on loop for four days now. Queen B…thank you for this gift! 🔥🔥👸🏾👸🏾💕💕🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

I don’t even like country music but I’m about to….Do it Bey ❤

Beyonce is going to have everyone wearing cowboy boots and hats before the year is out.

[musiclover-cntb]

I'm upset I can't find a physical copy.

Cowboy Carter is a Revolutionary Masterpiece. Her artistic genius cannot be overstated. One doesn’t just listen to this album, one experiences this album!!

[royaldiadem_]

No wonder she switched to Country Music. She needs a fresh group of artists to copy from.

[gmanhirt]

The only true crossover artist that is doing it for the right reasons is Ice T with Body Count
Ice T genuinely loves the metal genre and you can’t fake it
He’s not the best at it but he gives it his best shot
And he doesn’t even make rap albums anymore
So there you go
Proof is in the pudding

[elainemarylee]

Personally, I don't care too much for the response. If white artists can crossover to other genres, e.g., Taylor Swift, then so can she. What matters is whether she released a good album.

[telleyvestal]

I think Beyonce can pull off The Dukes of Hazard theme🤔💡😎

[highplainsdrifter]

Record sales will speak for itself. I listened to "texas hold'em", good listen, not bad.

Beyoncé is named after Tina

"A lot of people don't know that Beyoncé is my last name. It's my maiden name, " she said. "My name was Celestine Beyoncé, which at that time was not a cool thing to have that weird name.

By far not inovating. Alot of previous country music in her album. And HONESTLY. NOT ORIGINAL. SHE CAN DO BETTER. WRITE HER OWN. NOT TAKE FROM FORMERLY POPULAR TUNES. PATSY CLINE. NANCY SINATRA. I MEAN. WANT ALBUM IF THE YEAR. APPLY YOURSELF TO WRITTING AN ORIGINAL.
I LIKE BEYOUNCE. SHE CAN DO BETTER. THIS IS NOT BETTER.
