Beyoncé dropped "Texas Hold 'Em" by surprise during Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024, sharing lead-single duty with "16 Carriages" ahead of Cowboy Carter, and it's a hoedown thrown strictly on her terms. Named for the poker game, it mixes country pop, western and soul with a folk streak, with Rhiannon Giddens picking banjo and bowing viola up front and Raphael Saadiq co-producing and chipping in on bass, drums, piano and Wurlitzer.
Critics loved how playful and lived-in it sounded, and how proudly it claimed country's Black roots. It went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and debuted at the top of Hot Country Songs, making Beyoncé the first Black woman ever to lead that chart, and it drew Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Country Song.
