What was the title of Beyoncé’s 2024 country album?

Beyoncé’s 2024 country album is titled Cowboy Carter. It was released on March 29, 2024, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records, and is the second act in a planned trilogy that began with Renaissance.

The album grew from Beyoncé’s engagement with country music and from the response to her 2024 singles “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages.” Its title invokes both the American cowboy tradition and Beyoncé’s family name, Carter. The project includes collaborations and reinterpretations that connect country, folk, pop, rock, and other American musical traditions.

Cowboy Carter debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. It also topped Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to reach number one on that chart. Its title is sometimes confused with the informal label “Act II,” which describes its place in the trilogy rather than its album name.
