2. Superstars like Beyoncé crossing over and embracing her Country roots for her album "Cowboy Carter" earlier this year.

3. A "coastal cowgirl" playlist is super popular on Spotify now, plus the "neon cowgirl" playlist has more than a 100% increase in streams in 2024.

4. This year more than 220,000 user-generated "cowgirl" playlists have been created. The top songs that have been added are: "Jolene" by Dolly Parton . . . "Cowgirls" by Morgan Wallen . . . and "Tennessee Orange" by Megan Moroney.
