Beyoncé is primed and ready to dominate country music even if it is a genre that shunned her

In her nearly three-decade-long career as a member of girl group Destiny's Child and a mega-pop star, nobody has ever been able to nail down the Houston-born singer. People online began to theorize that "Renaissance," will be told in three parts and Beyoncé's "claiming all the music that was once created by Black artists. She sings: There's a tornado In my city Hit the basement That s**t ain't pretty Rugged whiskey 'Cause we survivin' Off red-cup kisses, sweet redemption, passin' time, yeah In "16 Carriages," the singer takes a more vulnerable and reflective approach to her venture into country music in an Americana-styled ballad. Even popular white country artists like Maren Morris have decided to altogether leave the genre behind because the music has turned into a "toxic weapon in culture wars." While Beyoncé cannot fix what's irretrievably broken in country music — nor should it be her or any other Black artists' responsibility to do so — what her exploration in the genre can do is give us all a new appreciation for music Black people have long been told doesn't love us back.
