Beyoncé‘s “Blackbird” collaborators got matching tattoos.
The superstar enlisted Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell and Tiera Kennedy to record a cover of the famous Beatles track for her new country album Cowboy Carter. Roberts has revealed that they all got inked with a symbolic blackbird in honor of the project.
“I’m so grateful that my favorite artist in the world chose me to be a part of her project, and that is so incredible,” Roberts said. “She is literally my favorite artist, my biggest inspiration, and I love that she believes in me enough to have my voice on her project.”
“We actually got matching tattoos,” she continued. “Mine isn’t exactly matching, but we all got a symbolism of our blackbird. Yeah, I know, right?! For me, I got black wings on mine and it says, ‘Thou shall reign heavenly fire’.”
“It’s just incredible, like the camaraderie and supporting each other and congratulating each other on this big success that we can all experience together. It has been phenomenal,” Roberts told Billboard.
Just days ago, Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney admitted that he was “so happy” with what Beyoncé had done with the song and believes that it reemphasizes what he was trying to say with it in the first place.
“I am so happy with @beyonce’s version of my song ‘Blackbird’. I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place,” McCartney said.
“I think Beyoncé has done a fab version and would urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out. You are going to love it!” he wrote on Instagram.
