Along with dropping the new rendition of “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Beyoncé launched a cryptic new website this week calledbeencountry.com, which features throwback shots of the “16 Carriages” artist as a child singing at the Texas Sweetheart Pageant during her teenage years, as well as a more recent image of her in cowboy attire — a low-cut American flag-printed top and furry chaps. Also showcased on the site are images of a banjo and her slogan “This ain’t a country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album.”
Fans on social mediahave noted that posters featuring “beencountry” photos have been appearing in Los Angeles.
