What is the title of Beyoncé’s 2024 album that followed Renaissance?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s 2024 album that followed Renaissance is Cowboy Carter.

Cowboy Carter was released on March 29, 2024, as Beyoncé’s eighth studio album and the second act of her planned trilogy. It followed Renaissance, which was presented as Act I. The album was initially associated with the title Act II, but its official title became Cowboy Carter.

The project explores country, Americana, rock, folk, blues, and related traditions while connecting them to Black musical history. Its songs include “Texas Hold ’Em,” “16 Carriages,” “Bodyguard,” and “Jolene.” “Texas Hold ’Em” became Beyoncé’s first number-one country-format single and made her the first Black woman to top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

Cowboy Carter is not Beyoncé’s first country-related recording, but it is her first full studio album centered on those influences. The album’s title also echoes the American West imagery used throughout its artwork and promotion.
