Adding to the anticipation, legendary country musician Dolly Parton has shared that Beyoncé is expected to cover her classic hit "Jolene" on the album. "Well, I think she has! I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that,” Parton expressed. Her enthusiasm for Beyoncé's rendition of the song underscores the cross-genre appeal of Act II: Cowboy Carter and highlights the mutual respect between two of music's most influential women.

This imagery complements the album's thematic direction, blending elements of danger, allure, and the rugged charm of cowboy culture.
