Beyoncé Shares New Closer Look at Cowboy Carter
Beyoncé surprises fans on Instagram with the track list for her upcoming album, Cowboy Carter, which is set to release on March 29.
The star announced her foray into country music during her appearance at the Super Bowl last month, shocking fans and even other celebrities.
She continued to surprise fans as she posted the tracklist for the country album only days before its release. Despite the songs not appearing in any particular order, there are 26 in total, including a cover of “Jolene” by Dolly Parton.
Parton expressed her support for the upcoming album on X, urging fans to listen to her original “Jolene” while they wait for Cowboy Carter.

Along with an exciting cover, Beyoncé’s new album features collaborations with artists including Miley Cyrus, Shaboozey, Post Malone, Willie Nelson, Willie Jones, and Tanner Adell.
If her 2016 song “Daddy Lessons” wasn’t enough, fans can be sure the star will not hold anything back with this album, which has been in the works for a while.
On Instagram, many of the songs include the Roman numeral two, referring back to Cowboy Carter being Act 2 of what fans anticipate will be three different albums from the sensational star. Act 1 is the 2022 album Renaissance, another highly acclaimed solo album that portrays Beyoncé’s weight in the music industry. Beyoncé told fans that Cowboy Carter “has been over five years in the making.” Act II was “born out of an experience” where she “did not feel welcomed.”
The album’s titles include, “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” “BLACKBIIRD,” “PROTECTOR,” “MY ROSE,” “SMOKE HOUR,” “BODYGUARD,” JOLENE,” “DAUGHTER,” “SPAGHETTI,” “ALLIGATOR TEARS,” “SMOKE HOUR II,” “JUST FOR FUN,” “II MOST WANTED,” “LEVII’S JEANS,” “FLAMENCO,” “YA YA,” “II HANDS II HEAVEN,” “OH LOUSIANA,” “DESERT EAGLE,” “RIVERDANCE,” “TYRANT,” “SWEET HONEY BUCKIN’,” “AMEN,” and “THE LINDA MARTELL SHOW.” These titles will join the already popular “16 CARRIAGES” and “TEXAS HOLD EM,” Cowboy Carter’s first singles.
Cowboy Carter will be released on March 29. In the meantime, fans can stream “16 CARRIAGES” and “TEXAS HOLD EM” here.
