For those who do not know, the former Beyoncé Knowles was raised in Houston, TX. She was raised on country music. She performed four times at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, an event she attended many times as a child. She's performed COUNTRY MUSIC in the past, with the (former Dixie) Chicks and Sugarland. Her songs have been covered by Reba and others.
So explain to me: why would anyone have any issue with her "going country" when she's performing (and she co-wrote) a really catchy country album?
I sure don't. This song, released during the Super Bowl this year, is damn catchy. She didn't even send the song to country radio, but it is getting significant airplay. It's also getting significant airplay on pop radio, making it one of the more significant crossover songs of the last several years (miss me with that Jason Aldean and Morgan Wallen talk, kids).
And yes, we hear it. It sounds a lot like the Franklin theme song.
