The Queen of Country is congratulating Queen Bey.
“I’m an enormous fan of Beyoncé and really excited that she’s done a rustic album,” Dolly Parton, 78, wrote on Instagram last week. “So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country primary single. Can’t wait to listen to the total album!”
On Tuesday, Beyoncé, 42, became the primary black woman to attain a No. 1 hit within the history of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, with “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
The bluegrassy bop, a nod to the singer’s Houston roots, also holds the No. 2 spot on the Hot 100 chart, behind Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me.”
Beyoncé shocked fans earlier this month when she appeared in a Super Bowl industrial for Verizon — and casually revealed she could be releasing a latest album.
“Texas Hold ’Em” is the primary track on “Act II” of “Renaissance,” her album cycle that began with “Renaissance: Act I” in 2022. “Act II” is due out on March 29.

One other track, “16 Carriages,” dropped earlier this month as well.
Beyoncé is not any stranger to critical success — she is the most-nominated female artist in Grammy history, with 88 profession nods and 32 wins.
With “Texas Hold ’Em,” Beyoncé beat the twenty second place earned by Linda Martell’s 1969 track “Color Him Father” on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

But not everyone has embraced Beyoncé’s entrée into the genre like Parton has.
An Oklahoma country radio station went viral this month when it initially refused a listener’s request to play “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
