  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

Not going for this. And I'm not even being a defensive stan. 

 

There are tangible numbers that can't be taken away from Taylor. They are objectively impressive and put her on a path to legend status. Or at least legend of her time.

 

But, like you said (albeit for different reasons), they should never be compared head-on. It just doesn't work on any logical metric. 

 

Taylor is massive in large part to her palatability to a wide, broad, and (let's face it) White majority. It is what it is. 

 

Beyonce, on the other hand, is a Black woman making Black music who has cut through so many barriers to become this universal beacon to everyone of every race. The universal nature of her success, popularity, and reverence is actually unprecedented given how much Blackness and Black artists are generally marginalised and even when popular are still subjugated. Bey cut through that to sit at the top. Only MJ before her truly managed this and sustained it. The semantics of her success IMO actually mean more and thus her being legitimately bigger than Taylor culturally speaking is not a matter of "feeling" I'd argue it's objective fact. 

 

The easiest way of highlighting this is: when Ren dropped or when Beyonce does something major in general, it permeates every lane: mainstream, urban, international, niche audiences. It's everyone, of every race, everywhere. Maybe not necessarily buying, but...experiencing, talking about etc.

 

Looking at Taylor. She is about to open HUGE (over a million in sales), her success and noteworthiness IMO is hyper-represented in her specific lane: the mainstream, white majority. Not that it's determinative nor the sole yardstick of success, but there are huge mainstream Urban platform and consumers that have ZERO clue Taylor even dropped. It of course doesn't matter. because it's not her primary audience. But, when flipping it, there wasn't a mainstream (White) platform that wasn't talking about Ren when it dropped. 

 

Again, there is no neat, race-avoidant, nor truly fair way of comparing them commercially. So we probably shouldn't.

This could not be more accurate. Great write up!

I'm so happy about the tour confirmation for summer 2023! Now Bey go back to work on Monday and take back the attention that belongs to you because anything else is boring around here lol.

I hope mutha re-stocks all the Renaissance merch goodies for the holidays. I need me one of them hoodies. 

Why does she like those unbelievable tight dresses. She looks like she can't breathe, it's uncomfortable to watch. And it makes her look even bigger. 

 

Cool for the tour. At least we're getting that soon. :duca:

She really does. :toofunny3: She’s always out here walking like Mariah or Wendall Williams.

By the way, did we not forbid you to make threads? :dies:

His whole shtick is to get Beyoncé dragged. 

He will go to war with Swifties and put Beyoncé on the front line while hiding his fave Adele. 

Edited by BnPac

Yeah i dont know about who is styling her these days but it's not looking good. Her style lately has taken a hit. Clothes that appear to always be too small for her especially around the boobs. When you have unlimited options in fashion, i see no excuse to walk around looking uncomfortable. She is way too rich for that.

idk what y'all are seeing :gaycat5: how many of you even have boobs, quickly :dies:

 

she looks HAWT to me and that's that. a milf through and through.

I think it's technically for charity, right? probably a tax-deductible donation. it says the tickets are "free" on the slide.

 

isn't Yvette already paying you to spread LIES on ATRL.net? :gaycat6:

Well now that we put it out there. I noticed a pattern.

Idk how to explain but she’s reminding me of DIL era with this dress, the hair and the smile it just gives me early Bey vibes. And the yiddies look SCRUMPTIOUS:jonny:  I knew the tour was coming but having an official confirmation is making me nervous, I need the tickets to drop asap!

Yes, i am thinking the same. It might just be some type of placeholder name and she might reveal another/similar name. Maybe she didn't want to give the title away so quickly and is waiting for an official announcement.

Shut the **** up, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about :skull:

I won't loonie. 

I haven’t spent the last decade on here defending Bey like my life depends on it to be disrespected by… that thing. 

 

You don’t even want to go there because I DO have time.

I defend Bey in the Adele thread. I defend Adele in the Bey thread. Why? Because I actually stan both.

 

I have not once created a thread with the aim to get Bey dragged. I don’t know where that came from but clearly that’s a YOU problem. I don’t even enter threads where Bey is getting dragged because I know I will lose my **** and be banned for months on end. My last ban came as a result of me defending Bey. 

 

So the idea that I am purposefully curating threads to get Bey dragged really is the biggest pile of hot steamy BS I’ve ever heard.

I’d tell you to use your brain, but it’s pretty clear you don’t have one.

That hair is fantastic on her. 

She looks less uncomfortable standing still than in the video. 

 

Please tell me what kind of genius I would have to be to design a thread about Taylor with the aim of getting Bey dragged whilst protecting Adele at the same time? How would that be possible when everyone familiar with me knows that I stan both? If anything, Swifties target Adele more than Bey when I criticise Taylor. 

 

Not one brain cell, I’m telling you…

I think the dress must have been slipping down a bit in the video, hence why it was looking so tight against her chest. She looks less restricted in these pics.

Yes that could explain it, I thought she couldn't breathe and it looked like she couldn't walk. I hope she keeps that hair. It looks marvelous.
