Beyoncé Thanks Sir Paul McCartney for ‘One of the Best Songs Ever Made'
Beyoncé closed out the final night of her Cowboy Carter tour's six-show run at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday (June 16) with a heartfelt message to fans and a tribute to one of England's most iconic songwriters. 'Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made. Every time I sing it, I feel so honored. And it is a full circle moment to wear your beautiful daughter's design,' Beyoncé wrote in an Instagram post, referencing her Cowboy Carter rendition of the Beatles' 1968 classic 'Blackbird.'

The Screen Has Gone Dark for Hit Movie Albums Since 'Wicked' & 'Twisters' 'Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family,' she continued. 'Holla at 'ya when I come on tour again!' Her version of the song, stylized as 'Blackbiird,' reimagines the original with string flourishes and vocal contributions from four rising Black female country artists: Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts and Tiera Kennedy. The cover is one of two reinterpretations featured on Cowboy Carter, alongside her take on Dolly Parton's 'Jolene.' McCartney praised Beyoncé's version earlier this year, calling it a 'magnificent' interpretation that reinforces the civil rights message that inspired him to write it. 'I think Beyoncé has done a fab version and would urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out,' he wrote on Instagram. 'You are going to love it.' The Beatles' 'Blackbird' was originally written in response to the Little Rock Nine, a group of Black students who faced violent resistance while integrating an Arkansas high school in 1957. McCartney has said the song was written as a message of hope and encouragement to Black women facing injustice. McCartney, whose original master recording is used in Beyoncé's version, according to Variety, also revealed that he had the chance to speak with the pop icon about her take on 'Blackbird.' 'I spoke to her on FaceTime and she thanked me for writing it and letting her do it,' wrote McCartney, who attended Beyoncé's record-breaking Renaissance World Tour last year. 'I told her the pleasure was all mine and I thought she had done a killer version of the song. When I saw the footage on the television in the early 60s of the black girls being turned away from school, I found it shocking and I can't believe that still in these days there are places where this kind of thing is happening right now. Anything my song and Beyoncé's fabulous version can do to ease racial tension would be a great thing and makes me very proud.' Released in March 2024, Cowboy Carter debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and made Beyoncé the first Black woman to top the Top Country Albums chart. The project also won her the Grammy for album of the year and best country album earlier this year.

Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus Go for Gold (And Sequins, and Sparkles) on the Cowboy Carter Tour
Two pop icons of a generation have been oscillating through Paris for the last few days: Beyoncé, on her mammoth Cowboy Carter tour, and Miley Cyrus, as she continues to promote her latest album, Something Beautiful. (All while offering the City of Light streets a succession of vintage looks). And last night, Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus shut Paris down with a surprise joining of forces—with gold and gilded matching looks to boot. Last night (June 19), and more than a few songs deep into Bey's show at the Stade de France, the artist introduced Cyrus to the stage. 'I love y'all so much. I'm super excited because I wanted to do something very special for your guys,' Beyoncé said. 'Give it up—I'm so grateful to sing with you, Ms. Miley Cyrus.' The duo then performed 'II Most Wanted' from 2024's Cowboy Carter, which won them the Grammy for best country duo or group performance. Crowd, of course, went wild. X content This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Both Bey and Miley wore sparkling, sequin gold looks: Bey wore a fringed golden bodysuit with a bauble-studded scoop neck and embellished buckle belt, with matching heeled golden cowboy boots. Cyrus chose a similarly shimmering crystal and rhinestone-studded catsuit with stiletto boots. The mega artists's shared style memo? Go glitzy, glam, as gold as you can. The Cowboy Carter tour has been alight with big brands putting their spin on Bey's glamorous cowgirl aesthetic. The tour's Western couture, as styled by Shiona Turini, Ty Hunter, and Karen Langley, has seen Bey in a bright white Mugler bodysuit and fringed chaps (with an added diamond bolo die), and Burberry with a twist on their iconic plaid with sequins, also in chaps form. Turning to Roberto Cavalli, Bey went for an all denim-printed catsuit with a giant gold belt and fringed sleeves, and with custom Schiaparelli, she slipped into some leather pants adorned with rows and rows of Western buckles. Blue Ivy, a dancer for the show, has also been styled in stage-ready rodeo wear and more glam dresses: One draped golden gown with a caped top and flowing maxi skirt, and a custom green Burberry Check bodysuit and green zip trousers with Swarovski crystal-embellishments to match her mom's. In Mugler Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid While it may not be immediately apparent, Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus's sartorial formulas hit much of the same rhythms. Glamorous, Western-coded, gilded and maximal. While Bey looks to Mugler, Ferragamo, and Burberry, Cyrus often opts for Alaia, Valentino, and Versace. Both find a stylish meeting point with Schiaparelli and Roberto Cavalli. Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Beyoncé has now reached over the halfway mark of the massive world tour. After Paris, she's back in the United States for shows in her hometown of Houston, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Las Vegas, wrapping things up on July 26. After Miley's appearance as the tour's first ever guest performer, we may have more to hop for when Bey hits stateside again—with more matching glitzy fashions incoming.
