Before we get into the thread: If you’d prefer to chat about Beyoncé live and on Zoom, we’ll be having a little album chat/“book” club/country Bey-themed virtual party with Dallas-native writer and critic Taylor Crumpton (read her on Cowboy Carter here and here among other places!) tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. CT! If you’re a part of our paying subscriber community, you’ll get the Zoom link in your inbox tomorrow morning — sign up now so you don’t miss it :) (also make sure you’re following us on Instagram for all the latest updates!)

For now, though, we wanted to hear your thoughts on Cowboy Carter — presumably the most ambitious and impactful country album of 2024.

What were your favorite songs? Favorite moments? Favorite references? What didn’t hit as hard for you? What do you wish you’d heard more of or less of? We are here to listen to all your thoughts and feelings — I know I, at least, am still parsing through the album’s mammoth scale. There is a lot to unpack!

Because this is a special album that demands a LOT of conversation, we are opening this thread to everyone - paid and unpaid subscribers - just this once.

See you in the comments!
