Here’s why Beyoncé hasn’t released visuals for Renaissance and Cowboy Carter
Beyoncé has officially revealed why she hasn’t released music videos for her albums Renaissance and Cowboy Carter. In 2022, the icon released the former as the first of a planned trilogy of albums.
Paying homage to the Black LGBTQIA+ pioneers of disco, funk, house music and ballroom, Renaissance was met with universal critical acclaim and won four Grammy Awards, while its tour of the same name became the highest-grossing female tour in history (at the time).
Cowboy Carter, released earlier this year to equal amounts of acclaim, spotlighted the overlooked contributions of Black pioneers to the country and Americana genres.
With its lead single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’, Beyoncé became the first Black woman to top the Billboard Hot 100 with a country song.
