I opened Instagram this morning, and the first thing I saw was Beyoncé announcing her Cowboy Carter tour. Now, don’t get me wrong friend I love me some Beyoncé down. But something about this moment just wasn’t sitting right with my spirit. Maybe it’s because I didn’t give the country era a fair shot. Maybe it’s because the world feels too damn heavy right now for boot-stomping and line-dancing. Either way, I wasn’t a fan in that moment.

And you know what? That’s okay.

Every season ain’t for everybody. Sometimes, you gotta know when to step to the side and let the other gworls have their moment. Beyoncé gon’ Beyoncé regardless, and I’ll be right back when she drops something that speaks to me. Until then? I’ll be at Bedside Baptist, sipping my tea, and watching the rodeo from afar.

Because discernment is key—even when it comes to a Beyoncé tour. Amen.
