She is just being coy as usual and not wanting to tell Grammy producers upfront. Now, I could see her skipping on performing. She could be rehearsing rn and they have no idea. Bey knows she can tell the Grammys the day before, "Make room." and they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrettyHurts Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 1 minute ago, justinxx said: yeah I don’t buy this considering that she reveled in becoming the most nominated person in 2021 and showed up in person for that… i think there’s a chance she might still perform I mean, it's complicated. Beyoncé came up in an era where the Grammys were actually everything. And from early in career, she became a "Grammy artist", winning tons of awards and performing there constantly. She will always have a soft spot for them and be honored to be nominated. That doesn't mean that she needs to show up and beg for AOTY. These days the Grammys is no longer a necessary promotional spot, nor does it have the same level of cultural relevance to younger generations. At this point in her career she's more than fine without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsouko Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I get that the Grammy committee and voters or whatever are slow and stupid, but when you perform at the Grammys you’re not performing for them, you’re performing for your fans. Or anyone really. Everyone. She knows her fans have been waiting for her. I hope she’ll not be so stingy as to not show her face again unless they buy a ticket.

The future generations will find her more and more less "popular" even though during her prime years she was absolutely MASSIVE and has lifelong superfans. As a black woman especially, you CANNOT afford to play these games, popularity is fleeting no matter who you are these days. I’ve been thinking about this too but I’m conflicted…. Janet’s situation was a misfortunate event that ended her. Beyoncé is doing all of this by choice. That’s a clear distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it means a lot to her personally (and Jay) and is probably why they've been successful at campaigning/securing so many nominations.

Yeah like it would be way more ***** to do that and then announce the tour right before/after or something.

She had comeback hype around Renaissance but the album is so good people are still satiated by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Beyoncé seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Beyoncé just had massive attention for a $24M performance. Janet has had multiple tours that has gone under the radar. It’s not the same. I think everyone is just frazzled right now! Dubai proved she still has it and is only going to get bigger!

Dubai proved she still has it and is only going to get bigger! But it’s weird, like this whole ERA is weird. There is no real fan involvement, no acknowledgment, nothing. It was really playful at first, and then nothing. There seemed to be a big plan, but it never materialized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t need her to care about me or what I want. As an artist though, why doesn’t she care about doing anything for her own art that isn’t shrewd and calculated and expensive. It’s disappointing for those to whom the art means very much. Why not share it with joy, somehow, with the people who receive it and love it and understand it the most? That’s what I don’t get. Beyoncé is virtually joyless, and her art has literally been “hard to get.” I will fail to take her seriously as anything other than a talented popgirl in luxurious packaging under glass. I don’t care how often (rather, how little) she records or releases or performs, or how much she gets paid. I’ll take what I can because I like it. But goddamn woman lighten up and act like what you make is music, not nuclear weapons. The Pope is less serious than she is, a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimberly Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 let me counteract PessimistHive with some delusions. what if she’s planning to drop something during the Grammys? or or maybe like someone else said, she’s being coy about it so as not to have her business leak early. Grammys will happily give her a spot to perform even if she asks 24 hrs in advance lol. also there is a bit about Jay Z performing in the HDD article. what would he even perform? are we getting Break My Soul (Shawn’s Version)(From the Vault)?
