[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious if anyone else feels this way: it feels like clickbait to me. I feel like they sat down and discussed where the cultural tension was greatest and therefore where attention would be highest and chose country. I feel somehow manipulated by it, which feels for music - kind of like a miss. I get it, same thing that artists have done for eons, like lil nas x. But he was subverting for different reasons and it was one song. It just all feels a bit contrived to me. [/quote]

I asked something similar a few pages ago:  does it feel authentic or a persona like Larry the Cable Guy.

To me it feels like a persona, definitely contrived for reasons other than artistic expression.

yes a persona but beyond that, it feels engineered entirely to a. stoke false outrage over race. I am all for conversations about race, but not engineered to specifically make someone richer and b. designed solely for the purpose of making a point. 
I'm just missing the part where beyonce showed any interest in country music before this. and why should she? it sucks. [/quote]

DP here:
Agreed. Feels like some sort of persona to "rub it" in the faces of country fans. In other words, next level trolling. Which I can appreciate,[b] but 10 bucks says Beyoncé never tours this material.[/b] Because in the end, she doesn't really care about it.

Her and Jay Z wanted to make a statement. And if/when she doesn't win Album of the Year at the Grammies next year for Cowboy Carter, they will have another sh#t-fit.

But congrats on the successful engagement farming?  :roll: [/quote]  She won't be touring Act II anytime soon.  Her touring schedule is rigorous and the rehearsals are intense. Renaissance was a 6-month tour; her last tour before that was 5 years ago.  There were 4 years between On the Run and On the Run II tours. She's got small children, she might do some dates here and there, but there won't be another big tour for a while.[/quote]
