As she put it, “I just feel like it’s quite an interesting thing to do when you’re like trying to tackle a new genre and you just choose the biggest song in that genre to cover. I mean, you do you, Beyoncé, and she literally is doing her. Or is she doing Dolly?”

Lily’s additionally obtained an issue with the idea of ‘Cowboy’ and thinks the rollout for it was completely premeditated — singling out Jay-Z‘s Grammys speech, through which he slammed the Recording Academy for not honoring his spouse within the Album of the Yr class.

Whereas Lily acknowledged Bey is coming for the nation market after she was booed on the 2016 CMA Awards, she felt the entire marketing campaign has come off “quite calculated.”

As if that wasn’t sufficient to get the Hive buzzing … Lily dared to carry up Bey’s look, considerably shadily remarking, “I’m just saying that like, you know, she’s got a great team of stylists, hair people, you know, she works out a lot. I’m sure she’s got the access to the best trainers in the world.”
