I love The Carters and their whole royalty positioning, but In terms of future-proofing (because anything can happen), is it really most ideal having various projects bearing a name that may not always be hers (hypothetically speaking)? Again, I literally have no issue with the title and am moreso excited that we finally have the preorder link, but yeah...I get why there could be some rustled feathers. A lil.

The name "Carter" is part of her identity and her legacy too. and this is a Beyoncé album. Her as a person is the primary focus not her status as “Jay Z’s wife” something that many ppl reduce her to

I did hope she would stock more and had prepared something bigger for waiting this long. There is a EU store now and UK store. Shipping is cheaper I think 1
luxurious Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Even though the silence felt like forever I’m kinda glad there’s basically only two weeks left until the album. we have another cover coming(?) the track list, possibly features etc all in store and potentially the visuals if the rumours are true 1

Carter is HER name....this a real marriage & a real family for the last 16 years. Whether she was a bank teller or a music artist....Carter is part of her identity too. even if they divorced tomorrow...she spent 16 out of 22 years tied with it & birthed 3 children that carry the name. this hasn't been a fly by night relationship. was she supposed to name the album Cowboy Knowles?? 4 1 1

Well Beyoncé never had one before either, did she? It's also a play on her name. It's not just Jay’s name anymore, it is HER name. He might not have an album of that name but he has countless songs that glorify her, one you just quoted which is embed in Hip Hop culture as a way to declaring your undying love for a woman. There’s also more than 90% of his songs since they met that refer to her either by direct name or by innuendo. Every person has their love language and their way of loving. It's her choice and it's not our business. I also want to address the fact that the GP at large does not know that Jay-Z' name is Carter. Some became aware of it thanks to Beyoncé and the controversy of the Mrs. Carter WT so I doubt people will think of him when picking that album. Edited March 12 by BnPac
Tripthelight Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Welp…I just spent over $300 and bought everything. Hopefully this empowers Bey to continue making decisions that trigger the hive.
verzden Posted March 12 Posted March 12 (edited) Her children are also Carters so I'm just imagining the album name is for them Edited March 12 by verzden 2

It's really not the name people truly associate with her lol. That's a married-into thing. Something she selectively plays up and plays down as she feels. No one thinks of Beyonce Carter. She, for a very long time, went by Beyonce Knowles and that is what is cemented into public consciousness outside of her name as a singular mononym. If anything she and Jay played down the relationship and even their marriage for a lil bit. Ironically to keep that private and keep their artistic identities somewhat separate. Even seeing "Beyonce Knowles-Carter" these days tends to catch me a lil off guard. But hey, Cowboy Carter it is lol. Edited March 12 by Cbreezy 1 1
QueenB Posted March 12 Posted March 12 since y'all said the white vinyl is rare I just pre-ordered that as well flashback to when I had a meltdown and said I refuse to pre-order anything unless there are visuals 1

Space&Time Posted March 12 Posted March 12 This woman's name is literally Beyonce Carter, why are you mad? 2 1
Lose My Breath Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Can anyone find that Flier from the Summer Rennie ad? It had a March date on it, and a couple of titles. @ShouldersSideways, I think you and I discussed it before. Was the date 3/29? The "100,000 Watts of Healing Power" keeps reminding me of one of the titles on it
luxurious Posted March 12 Posted March 12 the main reason why I hope the official cover is different from the saddle would be that it would confirm this theory which would be cool 1
Brikenbur Posted March 12 Posted March 12 can we spam Parkwood Ent. and make sure we have “COWBOY CARTER” in Dolby Atmos come 3.29? 1

The issue is that you always have on this pseudo-business marketing Parkwood hat on. Everything is always about business & brand. Like I said, this is an actual family and that is her last name. she explained all of this back when ppl said things about the Mrs Carter tour. Carter is part of her identity..."brand" or not. It was never going to be Cowboy Knowles. 2 1
