Tanner Adell took the Teen Vogue Summit stage with Associate Editor Aiyana Ishmael to discuss finding her own way as a Black country music artist, making the jump to Nashville, and the Grammys dividing the country music awards into two categories following 2025 Beyoncé’s win. Adell also reflected on her previous collaboration with Beyoncé and the new wave of fans who have since found her music.
Walking on stage with a Bey Hive-style updo, a chevron dress, and a glittery pink guitar, Adell emulated country music in her style. The musician began releasing music in 2021 but gained notoriety in 2022 when she released her EP Buckle Bunny online. She’s now become a mainstream name since being featured on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter. The genre-bending album is right in line with Adell’s own style of making music.
