The music world is already in an uproar thanks to Beyonce's upcoming "Country" album called "act ii: Cowboy Carter" which is set to drop next week.

In the run up to the album's release, she posted what is assumed to be the album's cover art and the widely talked and shared cover went viral, much to the surprise of a photographer who moved from Tyler a decade ago to pursue his dreams.
