All four women commemorated the major milestone for not only themselves, but Black women in Country music with matching tattoos of blackbirds in honor of the cover they’re featured on.
Roberts showed off her new ink on the red carpet at Sunday night’s CMT Awards telling Billboard, “We actually got matching tattoos.” Roberts flashed the ink before explaining each woman got her own version of a blackbird making each tattoo as unique as each artists, yet connected by the symbolism.
Tiera Kennedy took to social media to show off her version, which has fine lines and a blackbird wearing a cowgirl hat and boots, accessories inspired by her single, "I Ain't a Cowgirl.”
"They both remind me of my strength and remind me that with the Lord I can do anything," she shared, admitting it was only her second tattoo.
All four tattoos were designed and applied by artist Hannah Matthews, who shared her own gratitude for the women trusting her to be a part if such a special piece.
“Long story short— these stunning, sweet sweet, AMAZINGLY talented black female country artists were featured on Beyoncé's new country album!!!!
I was lucky enough to be able to give them each a blackbird tattoo to commemorate this milestone and great achievement in their career,” she wrote on social media.
“Forever grateful to have spent time with each of these empowering women!!
Thank you thank you thank you for allowing my art to be a part of y'all's shining moment!”
