Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Bust Out Barnyard Cover of Beyoncé’s ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’

Kevin Bacon and wife actress Kyra Sedgwick got their boots dirty this week for a barnyard cover of Beyoncé‘s smash country hit “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The couple took to the pen to mingle with their pigs and ponies for one of their beloved cover song videos, in which Bacon — rocking a wide-brimmed cowboy hat, jeans, boots and a red flannel shirt — quick strummed his mandolin as Sedgwick tossed in the occasional “whoo!” and “hey!”

“This ain’t Texas, ain’t no hold ’em/ So lay your cards down, down, down, down/ So park your Lexus and throw your keys up/ Stick around, ’round, ’round, ’round, ’round/ And I’ll be damned if I can’t slow dance with you,” Bacon sang as the livestock milled around at his feet. “Monday morning serenade,” the couple tagged the post.

Beyoncé made history when “Texas Hold ‘Em” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on Monday (Feb. 26), a week after the singer became the first Black woman, or female known to be biracial, in modern music history to hit the top of Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart, where it is still holding the pole position. The single earned Queen Bey her ninth leader on the Hot 100 and her first since 2022’s “Break My Soul.”

“Texas” and its fellow country-leaning single, “16 Carriages,” are the first taste of Bey’s upcoming eighth solo studio album, Act II, which she announced in a commercial during Super Bowl LVIII earlier this month; the album is the follow-up to Bey’s 2022 Renaissance LP.
