The singles were accompanied by a viral video that gave fans a glimpse into the musical journey.
With her forthcoming album, Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé is finally going full-on country. Previously, she only dabbled in the genre, having tackled “Daddy Lessons” on 2016’s Lemonade. Here is everything we know about Bey’s latest project.
