It's cool that the song is doing amazing in the streaming era, numbers are a plus

I've overplayed both Texas and 16C already so I can't wait for the album to drop 

I’m gonna make Beyoncé my opp if we don’t get the preorders TODAY

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I've said this since the beginning. The Big Freedia intro during BMS is jarring and probably turns some people off.

Yes, its very cultural which I respect and love, I'm from TN. I also get that for many people it's loud and annoying lol.

I actually don't mind the Big Freedia intro in BMS.

 

I still love Break My Soul so much; it's like one of my favorite Beyonce singles ever.

16 CARRIAGES is #1 on TIDAL's Top Hits?

also received my Cecred Super Fan Bundle in the mail today. So far, I've tried the Nourishing Shampoo (a great product, but the smell is a bit too perfumey for me), Moisturizing Deep Conditioner (My fave so far), and the Nourishing Hair Oil (another great product, though I wish it were a bit thicker. Amazing smell). You can tell Bey and Tina put a lot of thought into the product, and I have no doubt she will invest more energy into promoting this to make it successful. 

I haven't even received a shipment notification yet  I hope they do ship it before EOD tomorrow.

I used to think similarly before the tour started.
 

Then seeing her strut to it after finishing Energy and start wiggling when the beat kicked in was quite frankly one of the highlights of my night and I've never looked back since. It's perfection.

On this album, I hope there’s a song that sounds like a bunch of regulars at a local bar singing together and drinking bear! Her “99 Bottles of Bear On the Wall”

I have to watch my Cozy intro and Energy/BMS transition for daily nutrients

this is a beautiful image and i love it but i doubt she would use a single cover as an album cover. the cover will be a completely new image

got in my car and the first thing I heard was a little blurb of praise for Bey and TH’E on NPR

The reason I LOVE BMS so much is because of the Freedia intro and outro! Most people don’t like it, but it’s so infectious!

Disagree. I think I only like the song cuz of Freedias parts. It definitely added some much needed energy to the song. It woke it up for me.

Hear me out…

 

What if “act ii” takes on Beyoncé’s own perception of the Star Lasso Experience from Jordan Peele’s “NOPE” movie? This could explain how RENAISSANCE could potentially tie in. Obviously in the “I’M THAT GIRL” teaser she’s part android(?) and walking through different elements. 
 

Quote

The Star Lasao Experienxe takes place at the edge of Jupiter's Claim, and the scene starts with the sparse audience sitting in bleachers surrounding an open dirt stage and Jupe standing in the middle with a horse at his side. Jupe is a former childhood sitcom actor who is hoping to use the Star Lasso Experience to regain his popularity. Jupe wants to show the audience what he and his family have been observing for the previous six months, a creature that resembles a UFO, nicknamed Jean Jacket.

I think this is how RENEIGH/the horse could be tied in as well. Basically, it’s Beyoncé showing the world that she’s still “that girl” and is using the fairgrounds to take everyone on a journey through space and time 

 

Also, in “NOPE” there’s a bigger point to the story and a ton of imagery having much deeper meaning; like the UFO’s embroidered on Jupe’s shirt. With Beyoncé reclaiming genres, I wonder if it’ll also tackle the political elements of RENAISSANCE.

 

I’m drawing this conclusion from this supposed film/visual incorporating both act i & ii… and also the rumors that act i was THE TOUR, act ii is THE VISUAL, and act iii supposedly having some sort of “film” attached to it.

 

If you remember, the “RENAISSANCE…” teaser Bey posted on X, it shows her in a cowboy hat and a jacket with tassels. There was also a “call box”(?) with the number 51. This could be interpreted as Area 51, or in numerology this symbolizes having faith in yourself and journey. 
 

And also this TikTok user explaining why they think Jordan Peele & Beyoncé are/were () making a “horror” film together - https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8EVj6my/

 

Also, a tweet from Monkey Paw Productions (Jordan Peele’s production company) after the Super Bowl announcement:

 

 

They posted this on their IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1hv1HgMfIc/?igsh=MXVpeHlpNmw5Ym91Yg==
 

I actually think it would make sense for us to get one part of the film that ties both acts together and it seems like it will so far. The only reference to act iii so far, to my knowledge, is The Betty Black Tour and the VOGUE shoot pre-RENAISSANCE. 
 

Either way, it’s going to be INSANCE whenever we get to the conclusion of these acts! What a journey this has been so far

Didn't post the name of the playlist or the link! Seems fishy. 

 

But let's see...

I just recently went through my tour videos, and wow Church Girl live was really a moment. When it came on, I really felt the lyrics and was getting all emotional.

what if there's no physicals this time 

The way my boyfriend’s high school friend who visited for a day name dropped the song randomly, some people on FB making posts about it who I wouldn’t expect to be Beyonce fans embracing it…. My god, I didn’t think it would.
 

I though BMS was easy to digest and this would turn people off but alas, THE is really capturing people, obviously they know her but now they enjoy this song. 
 

I assume the radio version of it has the outro cut out? 

Highkey mad she ditched the Platinum wig for the Cecred launch party. 

 

 

Like, put it back on Giselle!
