Dolly Parton has joined the millions eagerly anticipating Beyoncé's Renaissance Act II.

The country legend and Rock Hall-inductee is a proud member of the BeyHive, thrilled with Beyoncé's recent record-setting feats.

This week, Beyoncé made her debut on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart with "Texas Hold ‘Em" at No. 1 and "16 Carriages" at No. 9, becoming the first Black woman or female known to be biracial to top the Hot Country Songs tally.

Beyoncé also made history as the first woman to top both Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs since their inception in October 1958.

Dolly Parton expressed her excitement on social media, stating, "I’m a big fan of Beyonce and very excited that she’s done a country album. So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single. Can’t wait to hear the full album!"

Renaissance Act II is due out on March 29 and will be Beyoncé's eighth studio album, aiming to become her eighth consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.

"Texas Hold ‘Em" and "16 Carriages" have also performed well on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, with "Texas Hold ‘Em" projected to top the Official U.K. Singles Chart, potentially becoming Beyoncé's sixth U.K. solo No. 1 single.

Both songs were released on February 11, as announced in a Verizon commercial during CBS' broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII, ahead of the album release.
