Cowboy Carter (also known as act ii: Cowboy Carter) is the upcoming eighth studio album by American singer Beyoncé, scheduled for release on March 29, 2024. It is the second installment of Beyoncé's three-act project which began Renaissance released two years prior.The album was first teased on February 11, 2024 during Super Bowl LVIII with her "Can't B Broken" commercial created in partnership with Verizon. That same night, the lead singles "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" and "16 CARRIAGES" were released. The singles were a noticeable departure from much of the singer's past work, seeing Beyoncé embrace Country Music for the first time since "Daddy Lessons" from 2016's Lemonade.In a message commemorating the ten-day countdown ahead of the album's release, Beyoncé explains that Cowboy Carter was born from an experience where she was made to feel uncomfortable. The experience in question was the backlash the singer received for her performance of "Daddy Lessons" at the 2016 Country Music Awards with The Chicks. Many country fans felt that the singer "did not belong" at the ceremony because she wasn't a primarly country artist; for others, their reasoning for her not belonging was because she was Black. The country music industry is notoriously difficult for Black artists to break into. The backlash inspired Beyoncé to research the origins of country music, leading to the creation of Cowboy Carter.

Breaking Old Trends: Cowboy Carter marks the first time Beyoncé has released an album whose title wasn't a singular word (or number) since I Am... Sasha Fierce's release fifteen years prior.

comment
Meaningful Name: The name Beyincénote pronounced the name as the "Beyoncé" spelling—featured on the limited edition cover—is the original form of the singer's name which was her mother Tina's maiden name which was misspelled by the hospital. Tina explained that her mother (Beyoncé's grandmother) attempted to have it fixed but was told by the clerk that she should be grateful they received a certificate at all because they were Black.

Punny Name: The name of Act II's horse, Chardonneigh, is a homophone of the wine Chardonnay.

Cowboy: Beyoncé wholeheartedly embraces this aesthetic for this album. On the album's cover, she appears dressed similarly to a rodeo queen atop her horse.

Animal Motifs: Horses, continuing from Act I. Beyoncé once again appears atop a horse on the album's cover. This time, it is a live horse mid-gallop. According to her Parkwood team, this horse is named "Chardonneigh."

Alternate Album Cover: The limited edition cover of the album features a nude Beyoncé with beaded braids, holding a smoking gun, and covered only by the album's sash. Instead of bearing the album's title as it does on the standard edition cover, the sash reads "act ii: BEYINCÉ."
