[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, but [b]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]  Wrong.  She has announced the Cowboy Carter tour.  https://www.tmz.com/2025/02/02/beyonce-announces-cowboy-carter-tour/
