Luke Grimes thinks Beyonce’s country music is “great” for the genre.
The Grammy-winning star released ‘Cowboy Carter’ in March, and Luke has welcomed Beyonce’s move into the country genre.
Luke, 40, told The Independent: “It’s music. It’s not rocket science. People are trying to make sounds that make you have a better time. Why would you be mad at that?”
Luke subsequently hailed Beyonce as “one of the most talented people on Earth”, and the musician believes she’s already had a positive impact on the genre.
Luke explained: “She’s one of the most talented people on Earth, so hell yeah, if she likes country too, that’s great.”
The 57-year-old singer – who pivoted to country music back in 2008 – welcomed Beyonce’s recent switch to a country-inspired sound.
He told Us Weekly: “I’m happy for her. I’m happy for the genre.
“The eyes that she brought to country music went up, and that’s always a good thing when you have more people watching country music.”
Darius also hopes that other black musicians will follow the same path as Beyonce.
He explained: “I hope what she’s done translate[s] even more than it already has to more people of colour getting a shot at country music.”

Prior to that, Carlene Carter claimed that country music is “lucky” to have Beyonce.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, Carlene explained: “I loved that she came out with her name as Carter because she’s married to Jay-Z, and I thought, she’s from Texas, she wanted to make a country record, nobody should give her any poo poo about it, you know? But they did and I was like, ‘OK, y’all can just shut the hell up because she is Beyonce and we are lucky to have her even want to be in the vicinity of us.’”
