Beyoncé Knowles-Carter recently broke the internet when she released two country singles and announced a full “Act II” album. Most recently, her single “Texas Hold ‘Em” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s sales, streaming and airplay-driven Hot Country Songs chart. She’s the first Black woman to do so.
For Black women already established within country music, her success revives conversations surrounding issues of acceptance within the country music landscape. The Tennessean and USA TODAY Network spoke with a group of them about what this moment means for them.
