Summary

Beyoncé stole the show on Super Bowl Sunday when she surprise-dropped the first two songs from the upcoming second act of her 'Renaissance' era — and the fact that they signaled a move into the country genre for this album doubled that surprise. Taylor Crumpton, who wrote a viral piece for TIME in response to her song drop called "Beyoncé Has Always Been Country" (linked below), joins Gibson to unpack this moment in Beyoncé's career, the significance of her genre shift, her lack of an Album of the Year Grammy and more.
