Beyoncé, The Chicks And The Country Music Awards: A History Lesson

Before there was pop, rock, rhythm or blues, there was country. And Beyoncé – the Houston-born child of Destiny – is not new to this, contrary to popular belief. In 2016, the singer released the critically-acclaimed visual album, Lemonade. On it? “Daddy Lessons”: track six of 12, the brass-banded, clap-handed ditty about a girl, her daddy, his whiskey and a gun.

A lawsuit with their record label, Sony, had finally been settled, they’d just sung the national anthem at the Super Bowl, and they were to embark on a world tour promoting their critically acclaimed LP, Home. Critics and fans alike knew the power they wielded: they were bridging the gap between pop and country with a sprinkle of politics, revitalising the slick genre for a new era.
