In the video, Kennedy appears to immediately
get emotional as she listens for her voice on the track. “I hear it!” she says
while covering her face with her hands and asking her friend to turn up the
volume. Through tears – and adorably delirious and gleeful laughter – Kennedy
is awestruck, swaying back and forth to the beat of the song in disbelief 22
“I cannot believe it! That is my voice,” she
exclaimed. “Oh, that is crazy. I could just listen to it over and over again.”
Originally written by Paul McCartney in 1968
amid the civil rights movement in the United States, “Blackbird” was inspired by the Little Rock Nine, a group of Black students who
were the first to desegregate schools and break the color barrier in late 1950s
Arkansas.
The powerful meaning behind the original song
adds to the emotional depth of Beyoncé’s 2024 cover, which is amplified by the
voices of Kennedy and three other up-and-coming Black female country artists –
Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer and Reyna Roberts – who are featured on the
track.

“I’ve been in Nashville for almost 8 years
chasing this country music dream. There have been a lot of highs and lows along
the way and this - being on Beyonce’s album takes the cake,” Kennedy wrote in the caption
of another video posted to her TikTok page on Saturday.“I couldn’t be more thankful,” she continued.
“Thank you Beyoncé for shining your light.
