Beyoncé's country songs are bringing new listeners to the genre, boosting streams for Black artists

Beyoncé’s Country Music Venture #

Beyoncé is venturing into country music with her new album, “Cowboy Carter.” The release of two singles from the album has not only been a success but has also boosted streams for other Black female country stars. This move by Beyoncé is bringing a younger audience into the western genre and challenging the traditional themes of country music. While acceptance for artists of color in the country music industry remains a challenge, Beyoncé’s foray into the genre is seen as a pivotal moment. Other country artists, including Maren Morris, Luke Combs, and Kacey Musgraves, have also taken a progressive approach.
