  I turned 73 yesterday. Saw the Beatles live twice in my tweens. Went through a long hippie phase in the 60s. Got completely engulfed in punk in the 70s and post-punk in the 80s. In a lifetime of listening to great music, Cowboy Carter has grabbed me and won't let me go. This album is SUBLIME. Lemonade turned me into a Beyonce fan; Cowboy Carter clinched me as a fan for life. Long live Queen Bee!

  The harmonies, the production, the lyrics, this is how an opening track should be made!!

  People are going to talk about ‘Jolene’ or ‘Ya Ya’, but THIS song is going to be what’s on movie soundtracks for the rest of our lives. Instant rock classic.

  After listening to this album in full, I'm going to need Beyonce give us a theater tour. A live version of this would be insane!! She would finally have her Tony!

  The fact that she gave us an album AFTER this song? This is an opus. Her talent is a divine gift.

  Beyoncé has mastered her voice. Now she's like Grand Supreme. I love her so much 😭😭

  She just fused psychedelic rock, country, and soul (at least). Amazing! 🤩

  She's taking back what they tried to deny her. I remember that CMA performance, the hate was palpable. Now, they get to see what she can do in this space...that was created by her ancestors. Powerful.

  Imagine being so immature you go spread hate on an artist's profile and discredit a racial empowering project that 30+ people worked on just because your fave didn't win a grammy and cried

  There’s something so poetic about the hate comments here. So many folks playing their roles perfectly in the exact narrative Beyonce is calling them out on in this song. Can’t help but giggle they’re unwittingly adding more depth to its artistic value and solidifying why this is the perfect opener for Cowboy Carter 😜

  This song is literally a modern Bohemian rhapsody in the structure. I can see Freddy Mercury dramatically clapping, i can see Prince smiling with pettiness. It' is indeed built like a church service with a Opening Hymn, Sermon, Closing Hymn structure. And those vocals, THOSE vocaaals !!! The harmonies, the background vocals… This will go down in the books 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
