It’s
a
real-life
boogie
and
a
real-life
hoedown
for
Tiera
Kennedy.
The
singer,
who
was
recently
featured
in
Beyoncé’s
songs “BLACKBIIRD”
and “TYRANT”
on
her
new
album
Cowboy
Carter, reflected
on
the
once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.
“It’s
absolutely
insane,”
Tiera
exclusively
told

Paul
Costabile

the
2024 CMT
Music
Awards
red
carpet
April
7. “I’ve
seen
this
happen
for
other
artists
but
to
actually
be
in
it
is
absolutely
crazy.”

The “Found
It
In
You”
singer—who
arrived
in
a
sparkling
teal
bralette
worn
under
a
black
blazer
adorned
with
flowers
and
a
black
cowboy
hat—admitted
that
the
details
of
how
she
was
asked
to
be
part
of
the
album
are
top
secret.
However,
she
saw
her
cameo
on
the
songs
as
a
testament
to
her
hard
work
and
endurance.
“For
the
past
couple
of
years,
I
was
just
getting ‘No’
after ‘No’
after ‘No,'”
Tiera,
26,
admitted, “but
I’m
so
glad
that
I
stuck
with
it
because
I
finally
got
a ‘Yes’
and
it
was
the
biggest ‘Yes’
I
could
have
ever
gotten.”
