Brittney Spencer describes her recent performance alongside Beyoncé as a pivotal moment in her career, PEOPLE reported. This memorable occasion took place on Christmas Day during the Netflix special "Beyoncé Bowl." Spencer, a 36-year-old country singer known for "Bigger Than the Song," shares her excitement performing with her "favorite artist of all time."

As Spencer sang "BLACKBIIRD," a reimagined version of The Beatles' classic "Blackbird," she felt a mix of exhilaration and pressure. "Oh, gosh, the main thought in my head was, ‘Don’t mess up next to Beyoncé,’" she recounts. This apprehension lingered throughout the performance but ultimately transformed into pride when it concluded. Joining her were Tanner Adell, Reyna Roberts, and Tiera Kennedy, all part of the collaboration for Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter project.

The album won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year on February 2, 2025. This performance marked the first time they presented "BLACKBIIRD" live during Beyoncé’s halftime show at NRG Stadium in Houston.

Spencer gained invaluable insights from this experience. "[Beyoncé] and her team taught me so much, providing me with a glimpse into how everything operates in her realm," she notes. The experience was undoubtedly impactful, shaping her artistic perspective. Living in Nashville, the Baltimore native hoped this performance resonated with audiences both present and at home.

"I wished to inspire anyone watching to feel represented and supported," she says. "Standing with such talented women encouraged me deeply." She further emphasized the shared significance of the moment, acknowledging the impact it had on specific audiences, particularly Black girls familiar with the song's backstory thanks to Beyoncé.

Spencer holds Apostles Paul McCartney’s intentions for "Blackbird" in high regard. McCartney wrote the song in light of the Civil Rights Movement, particularly inspired by the Little Rock Nine. This historical context added depth and significance to the performance. McCartney indicated that he sought to instill hope in those enduring adversity through the song.

Spencer feels honored to contribute to Beyoncé’s reimagining. "Bringing together new Black country artists is a wonderful aspect of this iconic album," she comments on Cowboy Carter. "This initiative is both genius and generous, and I appreciate being involved in a record that carries immense cultural significance."

She underscores that this opportunity transcends personal privilege. "It’s not merely about the chance to perform with my favorite artist," Spencer reveals. "There’s a crucial cultural mission behind this, and I feel privileged to participate in it."
