Reyna Roberts, featured on Beyoncé album, to compete on 'America's Got Talent'
Reyna Roberts, the crossover country artist featured on Beyoncé's recording of "Blackbiird," will be hitting the big screen for the season premiere of "America's Got Talent."
Roberts will attempt to win over the hearts of judges and fans on the first episode the world's most successful variety show, airing Tuesday. According to a representative for the show, she will be performing an original song and drawing inspiration from being a self-proclaimed “nerd.”
Of course, the Nashville-based singer was recently featured on "Blackbiird" and "Tyrant" on Beyoncé's highly acclaimed album "Cowboy Carter."
And Roberts says her career has ballooned since collaborating with the Grammy Award winning singer.
As fans know, Beyoncé released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter" on March 29. Not on only has the "Ya Ya" singer broken multiple records and made history, but she also put a spotlight on emerging Black country artists like Roberts and highlighted those who paved the way.
Prior to releasing the album, Beyoncé opened up about about creating the project and alluded to her 2016 performance at the CMA Awards, which was met with criticism.
In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive."
The season premiere of "America's Got Talent" airs 7 p.m. CT Tuesday on NBC.
