.@screenrant named "BLACKBIIRD" as the 7h 'cover of classic rock songs that have completely outdone the original'

"Like many other great covers, Beyoncé’s rendition of “Blackbird” was about making a statement. She didn’t make any dramatic changes, preserving the original’s gentle nature and elevating it with mesmerizing harmonies and ad-libs. Queen Bey’s version dropped in 2024 on Cowboy Carter, her critically acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning foray into country music.

It’s no secret that her musical exploration isn’t welcome by some in the country music space. By covering “Blackbird,” a track Paul McCartney wrote in solidarity with Black women and girls during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, Beyoncé echoes an encouragement to, seemingly, herself and others who wish to take up space where they have not been traditionally welcomed."
