Beyoncé has half of TikTok dancing in cowboy boots and simply ended up being the very first Black female to leading Billboard’s Hot Country chart.
Here’s the icing on that Texas sheet cake: Dolly Parton enjoys it.
“I’m a huge fan of Beyoncé and really thrilled that she’s done a nation album,” Parton composed on Instagram on Thursday. “So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country primary single.”
The tune, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” debuted at No. 1, with “16 Carriages” at No. 9. The 2 tunes were launched after Beyoncé revealed her approaching nation album in a Super Bowl advertisement.
A fan who asked for Oklahoma radio station KYKC play “Texas Hold ‘Em” got an e-mail back that stated: “We do not play Beyoncé on KYKC as we are a c and w station.'”
That quickly altered– and nation radio stations throughout the nation have actually included “Texas Hold ‘Em” to their rotations. Nation stars like Lainey Wilson have actually applauded Beyoncé’s full-throated venture into the category.
If there were any doubters, Parton’s recommendation must put them to rest. Dolly, after all, is no complete stranger to crossing musical borders: She simply put out her very first rock album.
The rest of Beyoncé’s nation tunes will be out March 29 and it’s an excellent bet that Parton will be listening.
“Can’t wait to hear the complete album!” she composed.
