A cover of The Beatles that captures meaning in a way only Beyoncé can deliver. “Blackbird,” which Paul McCartney has said was inspired by racial tension, features up-and-coming Black country singers Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts. She also grabbed Willie Jones’ soulful voice on “Just For Fun.” And Shaboozey brings the vibes on “Spaghettii,” genre-bending musician Post Malone sounds sweet and smooth on “Levii’s Jeans,” and Miley and Beyoncé’s vocals soared and blended to perfection on “II Most Wanted.” But whose voice provides the backgrounds on standout track “Bodyguard”? Fans were convinced it’s Taylor Swift. Billboard can confirm Taylor Swift is not credited on the song. Well, Swiftyhive can still dream, and with so many other flawless tracks on ‘Cowboy Carter,’ we have plenty to feast on.
