Country garb-clad Beyoncé fans celebrate 'Cowboy Carter' at listening parties in Texas and beyond

Grammy-award winning singer Beyoncé on Friday released her latest project, "Cowboy Carter," a country album featuring greats of the genre, as well as some newcomers.

IRVING, Texas — Beyoncé lovers donned cowboy hats and boots this weekend as they descended upon parties across the country, in dance clubs and bookstores alike, to celebrate Queen Bey’s new album, “Cowboy Carter.”  

At a club outside of Dallas, Tamera W. and her friends showed up in large cowboy hats and short shorts, with their hair pulled back or in pigtails. It wasn’t long before their cowboy boots had scuff marks from dancing. While her friends said they hadn’t listened much to country music before “Cowboy Carter,” Tamera said country music is in her roots.
