Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ album boasts collaborations with country legends and rising stars like Tanner Adell and Shaboozey. However, the most heartwarming feature is Beyoncé’s own daughter, Rumi Carter.
The 6-year-old kicks off the song ‘Protector’ with an adorable request: “Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?” This leads into a tender ballad expressing Beyoncé’s fierce love for her children: Rumi, her twin Sir, and eldest daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
Fans suspected Rumi might appear on the album after she received her own artist page on streaming platforms. This isn’t the first time Beyoncé’s featured a child: Blue Ivy collaborated on ‘Brown Skin Girl,’ even winning a Grammy for her contribution. Blue Ivy also appeared prominently in Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé’ concert documentary.
‘Cowboy Carter’ dropped at midnight on Friday, following the surprise release of singles “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” during the Super Bowl. Beyoncé revealed the album was inspired by feeling “unwelcomed” in the past, likely referencing her 2016 CMA performance with the Dixie Chicks.
