Tell the truth My Lady. Let's talk about history.
You ain’t country, so quit trying to act like it and put some damn clothes on your dress like a slut and you’re completely ungodly you have no place in country music bye-bye
Well f*&@ me to tears, add country to the list of music that comes from black people!! Could you leave a genre for us white folk?
Has anyone heard of Linda Martell? Linda was first black female on Grand Ole Opry and Billboard music charts!
Bey is an artistic visionary a blessing to society that’s why she moves in silence to reach her goals ignoring the naysayers 🎉❤
Team Bey all the way 🎉❤
Try to keep your clothing on when you sign. There is nothing about country music that is black or white. But stay cloths on
I live rhe history lesson in the beginning.
I don’t like it. I don’t like the cover picture either. She isn’t no Dolly or Tanya Tucker. Just getting more attention. I don’t even like her other music. Lol. Sorry! I know she can dance tho!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
NOT this b***h infiltrating country music, now! She did enough damage in the R&B genre behind the scenes AND committed numerous crimes. The stuff they don't want to come to light!!! Gatekeepers!? She and J ended numerous artists' careers just to remain relevant. Her more recent albums in Hip Hop and R&B did not do well, hence, most of us did not even know she put out. However, the grammys gave her very little exposure. ( and awards are rigged anyways ) That speaks volumes and we notice just pay close attention! Her husband just talked trash because he was mad and now taking matters into 'their' own hands… ***Country artist remain humble and proud! Heads up; I'm afraid what is soon to come… disappearing country singers OR left in the dust if they dont join the bandwagon, just watch… SMH!
Disclaimer: This is not about race before my words get twisted. Country music already has great black artists and also colaborated Tracy Chapman with Luke Combs during a performance which was amazing! But put Beyonce and Lil Nas X back in their lane!
the disrespect to kelly rowland
Y did the host say that some says won't play black county songs? Put those stations on blast instead of just a blanket statement like that. Makes me feel it's not true
Kelley Carter is wrong at 3:00 of the video.
Correction: It was Billy Ray Cyrus that collaborated with Lil Nas X not Garth Brooks.
USA, don’t let Trump win the election, this man is not who he claims to be, he will support the fascist regime of Russia, he will stop military assistance to Ukraine, this is a threat to Europe, because Russia is an aggressor and a threat to all European countries and beyond. You may not understand a lot, but as a person who has been interested in Russian politics for many years, I know for sure that she is an aggressor and cannot be allowed to win or delay this war with Ukraine.
Will never listen…infecting country music.
The only reason this song is number one is because she is black. Country music is part of the DEI BS which is taking over this country unfortunately. I work in the country music industry. Pretty high up.. Here's my issue… She's not a country artist. There are people who work decades to try to make it in Nashville. Do you think this is fair to them? How many times did Beyoncé play in a small country bar? How how many times did she play to make tips on Broadway? How many Loretta Lynn songs does she know? Does she even know who Loretta Lynn is? Did she listen to Hank Williams Junior when she was a teenager?? Did she watch HEE HAW when she was young? This lady is mooching off of country music like many people have done in the past. And unfortunately the country music industry just licks their ass because they have no problem selling out. I don't hate beyoncé. She's very talented in her genre. But to say she can just roll up into country music and take over without being a country music star or paying the dues many people have paid, it's just beyond ridiculous.
Beyonce was born in Houston, Texas!! So haters can cope!! 😘
Banjo was never an AFRICAN instrument, dude! This is cultural appropriation as country was NEVER the music of the Caribbean or Africa slaves… and Beyonce jumping on coat tails of Oliver Anthony as he broker the internet with "Rich Men North Of Richmond". Interesting that she can't keep her gutter mouth out of the song.
When they steal, they claim it forever
A big pop singer can make a song in any genre now and hit number one in that genre because those new billboards are based off of pop listeners and pop radio not country listeners and fans like say the airplay charts and others. This really isn’t a win for her since it overall very easy for her just like many other big pop artists with how they calculate these new billboards. She can make a rock song and hit number one on the rock chart(that’s based on pop listeners not rock listeners) she can make a rap song and hit number one on the rap chart that’s based on pop listeners not rap. Beyonce is a pop artist dipping into a genre she isn’t. Same thing goes with any pop artist who can easily do the same thing like Taylor Swift.
These are the same charts that’s every time a big artist releases an album the following week every single one of their songs from the album takes up the number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,25,26,17,18,19,20 spot on the billboard. It’s because the billboard within the last 10 years made a change that’s any song not just singles can be placed on the chart. The billboard is trash
Almost every American musical form that arose in the USA–jazz, blues, rock, country, folk, bluegrass, Broadway, funk, disco, and more–blended Black African and White European traditions of instrumentation, composition, lyrical themes, and performance styles. That is why these forms emerged in America with the mingling of cultures and populations and not in Europe or Africa. (The same point can be made about other musical forms that arose in the Americas like Latin music.) I'm happy that Beyonce is putting her stake down in country music and reminding people of that genre's African American roots, and "Texas Hold Em" is a joyous romp that can help reinvigorate a style that tends to calcify and appeal to a narrow racial and political demographic.
She can’t beat Taylor swift so she has to do something else
She can take her witchcraft and her blood drinking a s s. And go back to whatever she used to do. Everytime someone black does something it was invented by someone black and it always has to be the first black to do this or that. This is a joke.
Those same country stations that won’t play her songs. I can almost guarantee play Darius Rucker songs. This song is good but it’s pop with a twang not country.
No…this is a horrible song
