No Rocnation brunch. No Tina tribute. We dont even know if she will appear at Clive Davis's event. Safe to say Beyoncé is finally removing herself from the Grammy awards. Good. It was time.

As much as I hate where she's at as a fan hungry for more of her, she's living the dream. Never needs to do anything again in her life she doesn't wanna do, access to literally ANYTHING she wants, revered above everyone else in her industry (even the biggest pop star in the world sings her praises)

 

It makes sense why she is the way she is now. Why put yourself out there for literally no real gains?

What are we gonna do if she doesn't perform Crazy In Love on her next tour??

 

 

I know some may be tired of it but I genuinely think it's my favorite song of all time and I'll never get over it 

CIL should always be the setlist, its a classic.

 

Diva however can be SKIPPED.

still obsessed with this look btw.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants Diva GONE

 

Sorry, Blue. I'm tired of that song

 

It was amazing at Homecoming, but we need a rest now

She repeated that in the Renaissance film. She is done pleasing the masses. Her career has been a huge success, anything else she does is for herself and her happiness first.

But at the same time she’s doing songs with Travis (commercially in the top 3 rappers) and Ed Sheeran (at his peak in 2017 and inarguably the most global artist then). I’m curious if she continues doing big name collaborations in her off years.

Considering she had to be convinced to include it during RWT it's probably safe to say it'll be taking a break now

Why wouldn't she collab on things that she likes?  She is an artist and those big names are not big names to her. They are all people in the same industry,  interacting at parties and such so if they feel a song, they will collab.

She's been friends with Ed and Travis is from Houston. I don't think it has to do anything with them being popular

I‘m sure she somewhat admired Ed (clearly enjoyed performing with him during the Stevie tribute), and Travis being from Houston could also be a factor in the decision to collaborate with him, but anyone who says those aren’t strategic moves that come with certain commercial expectations from her part is in denial. I’m sure she hoped for more with her Eminem lead single collab for example. And there’s nothing wrong with a certain amount of „hit-chasing“, she worked her ass off to get to that point in her career. 

I don’t love those particular collabs, but pretty much every big name does stuff like that here and there. A fun surprise if it’s good, easy enough to ignore if not

Twitter Hive have been morphing into Barbz. The discourse on Grammys stage "copying" Renaissance 

 

So what’s going to be the set list for the Brazil/Australia tour dates? 
 

Any guesses as to what she’ll wear to the Grammys red carpet?

Which is all the more saddednning, 'cause if performing her brand new songs does not bring her happiness anymore then... 

 

Idk but to me it's rather obvious she doesn't have the drive and fire in her anymore. Which is understandable, because she's been been at it for so long and has done everything you can think of. But still sad to see as a fan. 

 

Madonna, Mariah had also nothing left to prove by the mid 00s and they were still out there proudly presenting their work to the world. Beyonce does not seem to have that same passion for her work anymore, even though the artistry is still there.

I think she has become insecure and was sick of people picking everything apart.

When everything is a damn think piece can you honestly blame her? Music isn’t fun anymore, even though the RENAISSANCE Tour was so much fun. Beyonce is one of the VERY few artists to have everything she touches be a success. I could imagine as an overachiever it gets pretty boring after a while.

 

Mariah and Madonna both had to have huge rebrands in order to rebound. American Life & Glitter for context.

 

 

Not surprised the TT tribute is not happening, but more interested in what she was filming with the turntable stage.

It's on brand for her to release a $3 million dollar ad while the visuals run rampant on icloud. She wouldn't do anything beside posting to YT & Insta at that💀💀💀‼️

I wouldn't be surprised if she advertises during the SB for something

notice how CE NOIR came and went.
