Shaboozey and Reyna Roberts continue to make history after being featured on Beyoncé‘s ‘Cowboy Carter’ album. The duo is set to perform at the Rolling Loud music festival, marking the first time country artists will appear at the international hip-hop event.

Rolling Loud, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, will be held in Miami from December 13 to 15. The lineup includes some of the biggest names in music, with Shaboozey and Roberts set to break new ground in the festival’s history.

Rolling Loud shared a video on Instagram announcing the pair’s addition to the lineup, describing it as a record-making moment.

Roberts will take the stage on Saturday, December 14, and Shaboozey will perform on Sunday, December 15, 2024.

Other artists set to perform include Don Toliver, Kodak Black, Sexxy Red, Lil Yachty, Rick Ross, JT, Metro Boomin, Yeat, Lil Baby, and Bryson Tiller, with Future, Travis Scott, and Playboi Carti headlining the weekend.

Shaboozey appears on Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ songs “Blackbiird” and “Tryant,” while Roberts features on “Spaghettii” and “Sweet Honey Buckin.” Beyoncé released her eighth studio album on March 29, making waves in both the country and pop music scenes.

Reflecting on her 2016 Country Music Association Awards performance, Beyoncé shared that the project stemmed from a challenging experience where she didn’t feel welcomed. Her words highlighted the importance of country music’s diverse history and its power to unite people across cultures.

The 16-track ‘Cowboy Carter’ album has become a powerful platform for Black country artists, shining a spotlight on Roberts, Shaboozey, and the genre’s roots. Since its release, Shaboozey and Roberts have risen to stardom, performing on major stages worldwide.

Shaboozey’s record-breaking single “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has held the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Country chart for 17 weeks, making it the longest-running No. 1 by a solo artist. He’s also earned five Grammy nominations for the 2025 awards.
