“I’m gonna read you this card,” Staley tells the camera, sitting next to the overflowing bouquet sent to her by the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer. “‘To Coach Staley and the entire South Carolina Gamecocks: Me and my family watched your games and cheered you on through the entire season. I’m so proud of you.”
According to the coach, Queen Bey signed the message, “All my love.”
“That’s Bey! Bey and her family!” cheered Staley. “Yes, Mr. Carter. Yes, Blue, you did your thing, Blue, Sir and Rumi. Bey, thank you. We appreciate you. We’re honored to wear your gear.”
Staley also showed off one of the T-shirts the 32-time Grammy winner gifted the team, which read “Always Been Country” on the back. “LOVE ON TOP!!” the Olympic Gold medalist captioned her thank-you video.
Bey’s gesture comes a little over a week after South Carolina defeated the University of Iowa Hawkeyes at the NCAA Division 1 championships, winning 87-75 against the Caitlin Clark-led team. Shortly prior, the superstar had dropped her highly anticipated Renaissance follow-up Cowboy Carter, which has spent the past two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
