Post Malone, who appears on the flirty duet “ Levii’s Jeans,” also expressed his gratitude to the singer, writing on his Instagram story, “thank you @beyonce congrats this album is beautiful!”

Malone’s debut country album is on the way, he confirmed during a Twitch livestream in November, but he has yet to announce a release date.

Beyoncé also featured several Black country artists on her emotional cover of the Beatles’ “Blackbird.” Brittney Spencer, Tanner Adell and Tiera Kennedy were among them. Spencer — a Nashville, Tennessee-based musician who first garnered national attention with her viral cover of supergroup Highwomen’s “Crowded Table” in 2020 — also reflected on her part in the project in an Instagram post.

“i’ve typed and deleted at least 10 captions. i don’t hv anything clever or curated to say. i’m on a beyonce record. the album is a masterpiece. ily @beyonce,” she wrote.

Spencer’s sentiment was echoed by Reyna Roberts, another early-career country singer featured on “Blackbiird.”

“This is literally a dream come true. I will remember this day,” wrote Roberts, who also provides backing vocals on “ Tyrant,” in an Instagram post.

“I am forever in AWE of you,” she added, addressing Beyoncé. “You have always been my greatest inspiration. My voice, my music, and art has all been shaped by you. Thank you for your greatness.”

Shaboozey, a Virginia-born singer and rapper best known for weaving hip-hop beats and Southern twang, paid homage to the pioneering Black country artist Linda Martell in his Instagram post about the album.

“Honored to be in the company of two historically significant black voices. Love you Linda Martell, Love you Beyoncé!” he wrote. Shaboozey accompanies Martell on the song “ Spaghettii” and raps on the album’s penultimate track “ Sweet Honey Buckin.’”

He also thanked Beyoncé “for always being the one to step up and kick in a door when others are afraid to. Texas born & raised, worked hard for yours. You are country.”
