Beyoncé revealed her Cowboy Carter tracklist, giving the BeyHive plenty to buzz about. There’s a cover of The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” a cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” and songs featuring Miley Cyrus and Post Malone. There are also two lesser-known featured artists whose lives are presumably about to change forever.
Is Tanner Adell On Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Album?
I didn’t do a very good job of burying the lede here. Yes, Tanner Adell is on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter. According to Genius, Adell is featured on “Blackbiird,” Beyoncé’s aforementioned cover of The Beatles’ 1968 classic “Blackbird.”
In February 2023, Kyle Denis examined Black artists forging a path on TikTok for Uproxx and described Adell as having a sonic profile that “blends the vocal bombast of a young Carrie Underwood with the lyrical flourishes of early Taylor Swift.” This February, after Beyoncé released “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em” during Super Bowl LVIII, Adell posted something on X (formerly Twitter) that packs a much heavier punch now: “As one of the only Black girls in [the] country music scene, I hope Bey decides to sprinkle me with a dash of her magic for a collab.” Well, she did!
