The ‘Cowboy Carter’ album hitmaker posed for another round of photos with ‘W’ magazine in new cowgirl-themed outfits.

Beyoncé’s country-inspired transformation continues as she embraces the ranch life in her latest W magazine photoshoot. Posing next to a horse, the 42-year-old singer exudes Western charm in an all-gray suit adorned with orange designs, complemented by a matching cowgirl hat and heels. In another shot, Beyoncé, sporting sunglasses and a different hat, affectionately pets the horse.

These images mark the second installment of Beyoncé’s collaboration with W magazine, following the earlier release of ranch-themed photoshoots.

Amid the debut of Beyoncé’s latest country album, “Cowboy Carter,” which hit the shelves on March 29th, recent photo shoots have been making waves. This album is a collaborative effort, featuring tracks with renowned artists such as Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Post Malone. Among its repertoire is Beyoncé’s rendition of The Beatles’ classic, “Blackbird,” a rendition that has earned praise from none other than its original songwriter, Paul McCartney.

Reflecting on the enduring relevance of his song, McCartney shared his thoughts on Instagram on Thursday, April 4th. He expressed dismay at the persistence of racial discrimination, drawing parallels between historic footage he witnessed in the 1960s and present-day events. McCartney sees Beyoncé’s rendition as a powerful tool in fostering understanding and reducing racial tensions, a sentiment that fills him with pride.

While Beyoncé’s latest musical endeavors have garnered widespread acclaim, there have been voices of dissent. Without specifying the critics, the “Halo” artist addressed this criticism during her acceptance speech for the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this week.

“Innovation begins with a dream, but then you must bring that dream to life, and that journey can be challenging,” she remarked. “Being an innovator means seeing possibilities where others see impossibilities. It often entails facing criticism, which can test your resolve. Being an innovator means relying on faith and trusting that there’s a higher power guiding you. So, to all the record labels, radio stations, and awards shows out there — my hope is that we embrace the joy and freedom that comes from experiencing art without preconceived notions.”
