本周，碧昂斯發(fā)布了自己的第八張錄音室專輯，以花束的形式表達了她對前輩們的感激之情。

Cowboy Carter, Bey’s foray into country music, dropped on Friday to acclaim, controversy, and constant replays on steaming services worldwide. But in the middle of the frenzy, the 42-year-old Grammy winner made sure to acknowledge the Black female country artists who helped pave the way.
《牛仔卡特》是碧昂斯對鄉(xiāng)村音樂的一次嘗試，在周五的時候，這首歌受到了贊譽，也引發(fā)了爭議，并在全球范圍內(nèi)不斷重播。但在狂熱中，這位42歲的格萊美獎得主一定要感謝那些幫助鋪平道路的黑人女性鄉(xiāng)村歌手。

K.Michelle and Mickey Guyton each received a glorious flower arrangement and a personalized note from the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer.
米歇爾和米基·蓋頓每人都收到了一束精美的插花，以及這位演唱《德州撲克》的歌手寫的一張個性化紙條。

“Thank you for opening doors for me, queen,” Beyoncé's message to Guyton read. “Keep shining. Love and respect, Beyoncé.”
碧昂斯在給蓋頓的信中寫道:“女王，謝謝你為我敞開了大門。”“保持燦爛。愛你，尊敬你，超越你。”

Guyton, the first Black female solo artist to earn a Grammy nomination in a country category, shared photos of the flowers and a message on Instagram, writing, “With opportunity comes possibility. The possibilities are endless with you, @Beyonce. God gave me an assignment and I followed. May the doors continue to stay wide open.”
蓋頓是第一位獲得格萊美鄉(xiāng)村類提名的黑人女歌手，她在Instagram上分享了鮮花的照片和一條信息，寫道:“有機會就有可能。有了你，一切皆有可能，@碧昂斯。上帝給了我一個任務(wù)，我就完成了。愿大門繼續(xù)敞開。”

In 2021, Guyton performed her single “Black Like Me” at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards ceremony. The song, from her studio album Remember Her Name, was nominated for Best Solo Country Performance (the award went to “When My Amy Prays” by Vince Gill). The 40-year-old musician snagged a nomination in the category again the following year, with “Remember Her Name” (it lost out to Chris Stapleton’s “You Should Probably Leave”).
2021年，蓋頓在第63屆格萊美頒獎典禮上演唱了她的單曲《Black Like Me》。這首歌出自她的錄音室專輯《Remember her Name》，獲得了最佳鄉(xiāng)村歌手提名(該獎項由文斯·吉爾的《When My Amy prayers》獲得)。這位40歲的音樂家在第二年憑借《記住她的名字》再次獲得提名(它輸給了克里斯·斯臺普頓的《你應(yīng)該離開》)。

Singer and former reality TV star K. Michelle also hit Instagram to share pics of her flowers and card from Beyoncé, who wrote, “You’re killing it! I love what you’ve been doing and I know it’s not easy to enter a new space. Sending you positivity and respect. I hope to meet you one day. Love, Beyoncé.”
歌手和前電視真人秀明星k·米歇爾也在Instagram上分享了她的鮮花和來自碧昂斯的賀卡，她寫道:“你太棒了!我喜歡你一直在做的事情，我知道進入一個新的領(lǐng)域并不容易。給你積極和尊重。我希望有一天能見到你。愛,碧昂絲。”

Michelle, who is 42, began her music career as an R&B artist and a member of the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast before transitioning to country, which she performs under the stage name Puddin.
42歲的米歇爾以R&B歌手身份開始了她的音樂生涯，她是Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta樂隊的一員，后來她以藝名普丁轉(zhuǎn)戰(zhàn)鄉(xiāng)村音樂。
