Beyoncé's song “Texas Hold 'Em” has a good Calgary connection

Beyoncé just dropped two new songs that have taken the internet by storm, and one of them seems to include a surprising Calgary connection.

The mega pop star performed “Texas Hold 'Em” and “16 Carriages” during Sunday's Super Bowl.

The release was strategically placed to tease his upcoming album Act II, its highly profitable footprint Revival album.

“Texas Hold 'Em” was co-written by Calgary-born musician Elizabeth Lowell Boland. Lowell, as he is known, also contributed piano to the song.

She took to her TikTok page today to share a video showing her pride in her western roots.

“I grew up in Calgary, the capital of Canada… Rodeo made my way to Hollywood!” I'm screaming! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! #beyonce,” wrote the singer's post.

While not a direct shout-out to Cowtown, as seen in Tate McRae's recent song, we're happy to have another hit during the Stampede.
