When was Beyoncé's album Cowboy Carter released?

Beyoncé released Cowboy Carter on March 29, 2024.

Cowboy Carter is Beyoncé's eighth studio album and the second act of the trilogy that began with Renaissance. It explores country, Americana, rock, soul, and other traditions while examining the historical place of Black artists in country music.

The album was preceded by “Texas Hold 'Em” and “16 Carriages,” released in February 2024. “Texas Hold 'Em” became Beyoncé's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 and made her the first Black woman to top Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.

The title is stylized as COWBOY CARTER in some official presentations, but “Cowboy Carter” is the standard title used in reference sources. It is not the same album as Renaissance, which arrived in 2022 and formed the trilogy's first act.
