Jack White Receives Flowers from Beyoncé for Inspiring Her on ‘Cowboy Carter’
Jack White shared that he received flowers from Beyoncé in relation to her latest album, Cowboy Carter.
White shared photos of the flowers via Instagram. The attached card on the flowers read, “Jack, I hop you are well. I just wanted you to know how much you inspired me on this record. Sending you my love, Beyoncé.”
White captioned the post, “What a sweet gesture to receive here in Nashville this morning from the talented and gracious @beyonce celebrating her new ‘Cowboy Carter’ album. Much love and respect to you Madam, and thank you kindly. Keep making beautiful and powerful music, nobody sings like you.”
Another Potential Jack White-Beyoncé Collaboration?
As expected, the comment section on White’s Instagram post was filled with many reactions. One person wrote, “Y’all better collab again on act iii.”
White and Beyoncé previously collaborated on “Don’t Hurt Yourself.” The track is featured on Beyoncé’s 2016 acclaimed album Lemonade. “Don’t Hurt Yourself” went on to be nominated for Best Rock Performance at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards. The song ended up losing out to David Bowie’s “Blackstar.”
The country-influenced Cowboy Carter is the second part of a three-part album series from Beyoncé. The first part was dance-house album Renaissance, which was released in 2022.
While it’s unknown when the third act of the Beyoncé trilogy will come out, it has been heavily rumored that “Act III” will be a rock album.
Beyoncé & The Beatles
Featured on Cowboy Carter is a rendition of The Beatles’ “Blackbird.” The original was featured on The Beatles’ 1968 self-titled double album (aka: “The White Album”). Beyoncé is joined by four country singers who provide backing vocals on the track: Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell and Tiera Kennedy.
Paul McCartney was the primary songwriter on “Blackbird,” which was inspired by the Little Rock Nine. The Little Rock Nine were the first nine Black students to attend Little Rock, Arkansas’s Central High School in September 1957. This followed the landmark Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled in 1954 that segregated schools were illegal.
