Nancy Sinatra Shares True Feelings After Beyoncé Sampled ‘These Boots Are Made For Walkin’

Beyoncé released her country album Cowboy Carter, and aside from the project paying homage to some of the best musicians in the country genre, she also sampled a few tracks by legendary artists. Nancy Sinatra issued a statement after her biggest hit made an appearance on Beyoncé's latest hit album.

The Cowboy Carter track "Ya Ya" opens with a sample of Sinatra's 1966 song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."

Following Beyoncé's release, Sinatra took her time to react to the track, and it seems she was pleased with the project.

Nancy Sinatra Reacts to Beyoncé's 'Ya Ya' After Sampling Her Song

Taking to her official X account, Sinatra shared the official album cover of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter. In the caption, she expressed her true feelings about the song.

"To have a little piece of one of my records in a @Beyonce song is very meaningful to me because I love her. She represents what is great about today's music and I'm delighted to be a tiny part of it," she wrote.

Later on, the legendary hitmaker continued praising Beyoncé as she thinks the newly released track "may be the best sample" of her song yet. Previously, other artists as varied as Billy Ray Cyrus, Jessica Simpson, and Megadeth have covered the '60s single.

Not the First Artist to React to Beyoncé's Song Use

Nancy Sinatra wasn't the only artist who reacted to Beyoncé sampling one of their songs as the musician also released a cover of "Jolene," originally sung by Dolly Parton in 1973.

As reported by ABC News, the country legend took to her social media accounts to share her reaction after the song made it to the tracklist.

"Wow, I just heard Jolene... Beyoncé is giving that girl some trouble and she deserves it! Love, Dolly P." she wrote.

Aside from the cover, an interlude track titled "Dolly P" was also a part of Cowboy Carter, which Parton can be heard giving Beyoncé a shoutout.

She then asked Beyoncé if she remembered the "hussy with the good hair," a reference to the 2016 song "Sorry" off of her Lemonade album.

Dolly cheekily adds that the woman reminds her of someone from her past -- a woman who had "flaming locks of auburn hair."

After the interlude, "Jolene" begins, with Beyoncé's reimagined lyrics.
