(Tyler, TX) Beyonce made the world stop on Christmas Day when she brought the "Beyonce Bowl" to her hometown of Houston on Netflix.

The music world (depending on whose side you're on) was sent into an uproar thanks to Beyonce's "Country" album called "act ii: Cowboy Carter" which turned the genre upside down and caused controversy as the argument over what's "Country" or not was loud.

In the run up to the album's release, she posted the album's now iconic cover art and the widely talked and shared cover went viral, much to the surprise of a photographer who moved from Tyler a decade ago to pursue his dreams.

Blair Caldwell is A Graduate Of Tyler Legacy (Robert E. Lee) High In Tyler.

Caldwell is a "photographer to the stars" and all you have to do is check his social media to see that he has snapped photos of some of the world's biggest stars and now it  looks like he's the "official" photog for fellow Texan Beyonce.

He took to social media to share the news that he was the photog who snapped the iconic photo of Beyonce riding side-saddle and according to a post on his Instagram page, this is the moment he's waited his entire career for.

"I moved to LA from Tyler,Tx 10 years ago..."

Caldwell went on to thank Beyonce and her team for the opportunity and hopefully his work will inspire other young East Texans to pursue their dreams. We extend our congratulations to Mr. Caldwell!
