Moreover, her Renaissance tour visuals incorporated Western iconography and Southern culture, notably featuring imagery of horses, possibly symbolizing Beyoncé's roots and connection to her hometown.

The resurgence of interest in country, folk, bluegrass, and Americana genres is evident, with artists like Morgan Wallen, Noah Kahan, Zach Bryan, and Kacey Musgraves leading the way.

At the recent Grammys, Luke Combs's countrified rendition of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car received acclaim, particularly his duet performance, which was considered a highlight of the ceremony.

Country music experienced a significant streaming surge last April, driven by Morgan Wallen's successful album One Thing at a Time, despite Wallen's controversial use of racial slurs in 2021. Beyoncé also faced backlash from predominantly white and conservative country fans after her performance of Daddy Lessons at the 2016 Country Music Association Awards with The Chicks.
