Proving that absolutely anything is possible in the land of A-listers, BEYONCE is set to shock her hardened fans - with a country and western-inspired album.

The Crazy In Love beauty has reportedly enlisted the help of award winning singer/songwriter Amanda Ghost - the creative force behind James Blunt hit You're Beautiful - for the project. (Should we be afraid?)

According to sources, the singer opted for a new musical direction after singing a country version of her hit, Irreplaceable, at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last weekend.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Beyonce wants to try something completely different. She's a fan of country music and thought that would be an interesting and exciting way to go. She contacted Amanda early this week and she is going over to work with her on it."

We've never been so intrigued... do you think she'll wear dungarees, chew some grass and bring us a hot new video from a combine harvester?
