“Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?” she says. Beyonce then begins the song.
Bey sings, “And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way / Born to be a protector, mm-hmm / Even though I know someday you’re gonna shine on your own / I will be your projector, mmm, mm-hmm.”
She ends the song, “Even though I know some day you’re gonna shine on your own / I will be your projector, yeah, yeah / And even though I know some day you’re gonna shine on your own / I will be your protector, born to be a protector.”
Beyonce‘s eldest daughter Blue Ivy Carter won a Grammy Award for her work on the song “Brown Skin Girl.”
Beyonce‘s new country album Cowboy Carter has officially arrived and you can stream it in full right here!
The 42-year-old singer dropped her eighth studio album on Friday (March 29) and there are 27 tracks on the incredible new album, including some interludes.
Blue Ivy Carter is already a Grammy winner. Could her younger sister Rumi be the next winner in the family?!
Cowboy Carter is also known as Act II in Beyonce‘s trilogy project, which began with Renaissance. The country album has been in the works ever since the entertainer teamed up with The Chicks for a performance of “Daddy Lessons” at the 2016 CMA Awards, a performance which received backlash from country music fans who didn’t want her to be in the genre.

Act 2: Cowboy Carter arrives Friday (March 29), and the superstar just revealed the tracklist ahead of the album’s release.
There are several songs of note, including “Jolene,” which Dolly Parton previously revealed would likely appear on the album, as well as “The Linda Martell Show,” a reference to one of the first Black commercially successful artists in country and the first to play the Opry, via Variety.
The track list does not reveal whether “Dolly P” and “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson” mean that the two country stars will appear on the record.
Beyonce has only done a select few press events since 2013.
In her 2014 documentary Beyonce: Life is but a Dream, Beyonce admitted she sometimes “struggled” with how much she revealed during interviews.
“When Nina Simone put out music, you loved her voice. That’s what she wanted you to love…But you didn’t get brainwashed by her day-to-day life and what her child is wearing and who she’s dating and, you know, all the things that really — it’s not your business, you know? And it shouldn’t influence the way you listen to the voice and the art. But it does,” Beyonce said at the time.
The 46-year-old rapper will host and perform at the upcoming awards show, airing live on Monday (April 1) from the Dolby Theatre at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
“I’m looking forward to hosting the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards and sharing the stage with some of the best in music,” he said in a statement, adding: “It will be an amazing night celebrating fan-favorite artists with special performances that fans won’t want to miss.”

Beyoncé will get the Innovator Award at this year’s show to celebrate her influence on pop culture, her various creative risks throughout her career, and her ability to “successfully transform [her] music,” via a press release.
The honor will arrive two days after her upcoming ninth studio album, Act II: Cowboy Carter.
Erykah Badu appears to have an issue with Beyonce‘s Cowboy Carter visuals, and she wants Jay-Z to get involved.
If you missed it, the 42-year-old music icon has recently shared a first look at her new album. She rolled out a new limited edition exclusive vinyl cover on Wednesday (March 20), and it seems that Erykah isn’t thrilled about the art.
On the cover, Beyonce poses nude with a large sash wrapped around her body. Her hair is intricately braided, and her bangs have colorful beads in them.
It seems that Erykah is taking issue with Beyonce‘s hair style and feels that it is too similar to her own.

Erykah took to her Instagram story to share Beyonce‘s cover. She simply wrote “Hmmm” alongside the photo.
She threw a bit more direct shade on X (formerly Twitter) after members of the BeyHive (Beyonce’s fandom) caught wind of her comments.
“To Jay Z . Say somethin Jay . You gone let this woman and these bees do this to me ?? 😆,” she wrote.
Fans might recall that Erykah appeared to call Beyonce out in a similar manner last year.
Neither Beyonce nor Jay have publicly responded. However, her publicist Yvette Schuretook to Instagram and seemingly threw a bit of shade of her own right back.
She shared multiple photos of Beyonce with braids and beads in her hair over the years, all the way back to her time with Destiny’s Child.
“She slays. She slays. Now. Then. Always,” Yvette captioned the clip, adding the hashtag #criticswithoutcredentials.
