Paul McCartney has weighed in on Beyoncé’s cover of “Blackbird,” which comes near the beginning of her latest album “Cowboy Carter.” “I am so happy with @beyonce’s version of my song ‘Blackbird’” McCartney wrote on Twitter. “I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place. I think Beyoncé has done a fab version and would urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out.

” She added, “I’m here because I love country music and always have done, not saying Beyoncé doesn’t, but I tell stories in my music and that’s what country music is.” TikTok user Sam Doll went viral this week for saying “Cowboy Carter” was a disjointed album and that the covers, including “Jolene,” were “boring” and “abysmal.” The video was deleted after a wave of backlash. “Blackbird” was first heard on the self-titled album from the Beatles also known as the White Album.
