Jack White was recently greeted with a bouquet of flowers. It was from Beyoncé.
On Tuesday, the musician shared a photo of the (literal) flowers Beyoncé sent him following her album release Cowboy Carterand included a sweet note acknowledging how it inspired her new record.
“I just wanted you to know how much you inspired me on this record,” Beyoncé wrote, signing off, “Sending you my love.”
White shared a photo of the flowers on her Instagram, thanking Queen Bey for the gesture.
“What a sweet gesture to receive here in Nashville this morning from the talented and kind @beyonce celebrating her new Cowboy Carter album,” White wrote. “Much love and respect to you madam, and thank you kindly. Keep making beautiful and powerful music, nobody sings like you.”
Beyoncé and White have had a long-standing relationship. Hit the musician for Lemonade“Don't Hurt Yourself” in 2016. He also co-produced the track.
“You know, I just talked to her and she said, 'I want to be in a band with you.' I said, “Really? Well, I'd like to do something,” White told NPR for working with Queen Bey at the time. “I've always loved her voice — I mean, I think she has the kind of soulful singing voice of Bette Davis or Aretha Franklin.”
“He just took a sketch of a lyrical outline and turned it into the most gutsy, vicious, incredible song,” White added. “I don't even know what you would call it – soul, rock and roll, whatever. “Don't Hurt Yourself” is incredibly intense. I'm so amazed at what he did with it.”
Florists were also at work thanks to the release of Queen Bey this weekend. He also sent flowers to several black female country artists to pave the way.
“Thank you for opening the doors to me, queen. Keep shining. Love and respect, Beyoncé,” Beyoncé wrote to Mickey Guyton, who was the first black female country artist to earn a Grammy nod in a country category.
“With opportunity comes possibility. The possibilities are endless with you @Beyonce,” Guyton wrote in a post. “God gave me a mission and I followed it. May the doors continue to be wide open.”
K. Michel similarly received some flowers. Bey wrote to her: “You're killing it! I like what you are doing and I know it is not easy to enter a new space. Sending you positivity and respect. I hope to meet you one day. Love, Beyoncé.”
Beyoncé also joined Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts on “Blackbird,” a reworking of the Beatles' 1968 song “Blackbird.”
