Beyoncé is riding high on the success of her new country album, “Cowboy Carter,” which smashed Spotify’s record for most-streamed album in a single day for 2024. Following the album’s release, Beyoncé treated fans to a sizzling photo shoot on Instagram, showcasing the outfit she rocked for a signing event at Tower Records in Tokyo’s Shibuya City.

The Texas-born superstar looked every bit the country songstress in a skintight, walnut brown leather dress that hugged her curves. She completed the look with a pair of matching opera gloves, towering stilettos, and the quintessential cowgirl hat.

Platinum blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders, and bronze-toned shades added a touch of Hollywood glamour. For a stylish twist, Beyoncé occasionally sported a matching coat draped over her shoulders.

The photos also captured the ecstatic reactions of fans meeting their idol, with one even brought to tears.

“Cowboy Carter” debuted at midnight EST on Friday and immediately became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day this year, according to Billboard. The album features a show-stopping cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and a duet with Miley Cyrus titled “If I’m Most Wanted.”

One of the album’s most talked-about tracks is “Protector,” which includes an intro by Beyoncé’s six-year-old daughter, Rumi. This collaboration follows Beyoncé and her eldest daughter Blue Ivy’s 2021 Grammy win for their song “Brown Skin Girl.”

Last week, Beyoncé addressed the criticism she received for venturing into country music. She expressed her gratitude to fans who embraced her singles “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” and “16 CARRIAGES,” becoming the first Black woman with a number one single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

Her hope is that “the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant” in the future. The album cover art depicts Beyoncé on horseback, proudly displaying the American flag while clad in a red, white, and blue leather outfit.

In the caption, Beyoncé explained the album’s inspiration stemmed from a past experience where she felt unwelcome in a certain genre. This experience fueled her exploration of country music’s history and a desire to celebrate its rich musical heritage.

“Cowboy Carter” is the culmination of over five years of work and a testament to Beyoncé’s artistic evolution. It’s a genre-bending project featuring surprise collaborations and infused with the singer’s signature passion.

This isn’t just a country album; it’s a “Beyoncé” album – a unique sonic journey meant to be experienced from start to finish.
