Salma Hayek celebrates country album by sharing photos of her and Penelope Cruz

Salma Hayek shared her enthusiasm for Beyoncé’s debut country record on Wednesday.

The Frida star, 57, posted a number of snaps, including two of her with Bandidas co-star Penélope Cruz, 49, revealing the pair have been waiting for ’20 years’ for the album.

The throwback pics showed Hayek and Cruz rocking full Western looks – cowboy hats, bustiers, and guns in holsters.

‘Dear, Penelope and I have been waiting 20 YEARS for this album! FINALLY, it was worth it.

Salma and Penelope starred as women from two different backgrounds in 19th-century Mexico in the 2006 action Western film, where they joined forced against a ruthless U.S. bank magnate (Dwight Yoakam).

Another throwback from the film showed Salma getting a piggyback ride from Penelope.

Salma also added two photos of her sporting a Beyoncé t-shirt emblazoned with ‘KNTRY Radio Texas’, the fictional country radio station the star created on her album.

She paired her Western look with a black cowboy hat, aviator sunglasses, and blue jeans.

Salma’s 28.4M fans and followers were thrilled with her show of support for the songstress, with one writing, ‘Thanks for supporting the Queen. Queens recognize Queens, don’t they?’

‘LEGENDS SUPPORTING A LEGEND,’ another wrote. ‘Love you even MORE for rocking that Texas shirt,’ someone else chimed in.

Salma and Penelope have been friends for over 30 years, with the Ferrari star calling Salma ‘like a sister’ in 2023.

‘It’s like we can tell each other everything. We really trust each other,’ she told E! News last year.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé, 42, is currently basking in the thunderous reception to Cowboy Carter, the new country album she dropped on Friday.

Cowboy Carter immediately became the most-streamed album in a single day on Spotify this year, Billboard reported.
