Dolly Parton recently commended Beyoncè for being the first Black woman in history to top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart with her latest single “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The Queen of Country took to social media to congratulate the “Halo” hitmaker, sharing that she has always been a “big Beyoncè fan.”

“I am a big fan of Beyoncè and very excited that she’s doing a country album. So, congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single.” ABC News properly referred to the sweet message as Dolly welcoming Queen B into “the country music family.”

Dolly also expressed that she cannot wait to hear Beyoncé’s country album in its entirety when it comes out next month. Slated for release on March 29th, Act II (Beyoncé’s eighth studio album) will feature the aforementioned chart-topping single, as well as “16 Carriages,” and other unreleased country tracks.
