How to Watch

Watch The Voice Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

After weeks of speculation, it's officially confirmed that the former Voice Coach (Seasons 11 and 13) has collaborated with Queen Bey on the Renaissance singer's anticipated eighth album, Cowboy Carter, which drops Friday, March 29 at midnight in the U.S. Find out everything you need to know, below.

Though Cowboy Carter officially drops in North America at midnight, New Zealand and Australia markets have already gained access to the album's full track list, with features. This is how some fans were able to already spot that Cyrus was apart of the project's 16th track, "II Most Wanted."

We'll have to wait until 12:00 a.m. ET to hear the official version, but the collab marks the first time the two genre-crossing Grammy winners have released an original song together. However, the artists sang together in 2008 for a Stand Up to Cancer charitable concert in which Cyrus, Beyoncé, and 11 other female vocalists (Keyshia Cole, Leona Lewis, Fergie, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, and Nicole Scherzinger) all came together to sing original song "Just Stand Up!"

“What I remember most from doing this performance is I was standing in between two of the big legends and icons that I was looking up to at the time, and they treated me like a little sister the entire time,” Cyrus said about Beyoncé and Rihanna in her “Used to Be Young” TikTok series. “They were being really sweet.”

She continued, "I got brackets on the back of my teeth, and I’m singing with Beyoncé.”

Cyrus may have hinted at her iconic impending collab when she shared a photo on March 1 of herself wearing a Louis Vuitton cowboy hat. The fashion choice mirrored Beyoncé herself, who has been seen wearing multiple different cowboy hats in the lead-up to the drop of Cowboy Carter, which is inspired by country music. 

"This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive," Bey wrote in a lengthy caption earlier this month. "I have a few surprises on the album, and have collaborated with some brilliant artists who I deeply respect. I hope that you can hear my heart and soul, and all the love and passion that I poured into every detail and every sound."
