People Magazine has released a special collector’s edition dedicated to Beyoncé’s groundbreaking country album “Cowboy Carter.” The commemorative issue celebrates her first-ever Album of the Year Grammy win and features over 125 photos documenting her remarkable career journey. Fans can now purchase this special edition at newsstands nationwide and through Amazon.
Grammy-Making History with Cowboy Carter Album
Beyoncé shattered records at the Grammy Awards in February when she took home three prestigious trophies for “Cowboy Carter.” These wins propelled her total Grammy count to an unprecedented 35 awards. She officially surpassed previous record-holder Georg Solti, who held 31 wins.
The superstar claimed victories in the Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance categories with Miley Cyrus. Her Album of the Year win holds special significance as it marks her first victory in this category after multiple previous nominations. The achievement came shortly after her husband Jay-Z called out the Recording Academy during his Dr. Dre Global Impact Award acceptance speech for repeatedly overlooking Beyoncé in this category.
Inside the Special People Magazine Collector’s Edition
The newly released special edition showcases Beyoncé’s extraordinary journey through over 125 stunning photographs. Readers will find images from her record-breaking 2023 Renaissance World Tour alongside promotional materials for her upcoming Cowboy Carter tour.
Dedicated members of the Beyhive receive recognition in this commemorative issue too. People Magazine has included personal accounts from select fans. The special edition serves as both a celebration of her achievements and a preview of her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour launching on April 28.
Reclaiming Country Music’s Black Roots
“Cowboy Carter” represents more than just Beyoncé’s foray into country music. The album serves as her powerful statement reclaiming the Black history deeply intertwined with country music’s origins. During her Grammy acceptance speech, Beyoncé dedicated her win to Linda Martell, the first Black female country singer.
When announcing the album last year, Beyoncé revealed its inspiration stemmed from feeling unwelcome in the country music space. “Because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of country music and studied our rich musical archive,” she wrote on Instagram. This exploration led her to create an album that celebrates overlooked voices in country music while uniting fans worldwide.
Fans Prepare for Cowboy Carter Tour Kickoff
The Beyhive is buzzing with excitement as the Cowboy Carter tour prepares to launch next week. This highly anticipated tour follows the massive success of her Renaissance World Tour in 2023, which broke attendance records across multiple venues.
The newly released People Magazine special edition arrives at the perfect time. It gives fans a comprehensive look at Beyoncé’s journey while building anticipation for her upcoming performances. The collector’s issue serves as the perfect companion piece for fans preparing to experience the Cowboy Carter era live.
