LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Beyonce's latest country single has captivated fans, dominating the country music charts. Yet, what truly surprised and excited Queen Bee's fans was when the iconic Dolly Parton stepped forward to congratulate and commend Beyonce on her achievement.

While Beyonce's latest country song has been receiving accolades worldwide, one individual who faced the ire of Beyonce's devoted fanbase, the BeyHive, was actor John Schneider.

In an interview, Schneider expressed his strong dislike for Beyonce's venture into country music, describing her song 'Texas Hold 'Em' as sounding like a dog urinating.

Nevertheless, the acknowledgment and congratulations from Parton hold significant weight for Beyoncé's fans.

Dolly Parton herself has been making headlines with reports of her aspirations regarding her Broadway musical based on her life story, hinting at an extraordinary opportunity for aspiring actors to portray her on stage.

Beyonce's fans were convinced the 41-year-old singer got felt up by one of her crew member after video of him helping her down a ladder was posted to TikTok earlier this week

Beyonce announced the album during the 2024 Super Bowl in a Verizon commercial, where she humorously attempted to break the company's 5G network, as reported by People Magazine.

Following the announcement, Beyonce released two new tracks from the album, 'Texas Hold 'Em' and '16 Carriages', as reported by People Magazine. The singer had been hinting at the project, notably appearing at the 2024 Grammys in a cowgirl-inspired outfit, complete with a cowgirl hat and lace necktie resembling a bolero tie.
