"We actually got matching tattoos," she told Billboard, adding, "Mine isn't exactly matching but we all got a symbolism of our blackbird."

Roberts explained that her tattoo has black wings and reads, "Thou shall reign heavenly fire."

She told her followers that the "Blackbiird" cover and her own single "I Ain't a Cowgirl" served as inspiration for the art.

"They both remind me of my strength and remind me that with the Lord I can do anything," she said in part.

"Up until now I’ve only had one little cross tattoo on my wrist and now we’re in the big leagues baby or maybe the minor leagues haha," she captioned the post, which showed footage of her getting the tattoo. "Thank you @andyoutattoo for slaying this design!!"
