Id giggle! Yeah no. We're not giggling at theft from a Black originator in 2024. In all honesty, if she continues to do that, the chasm in public reception between Beyoncé's QUALITY and Taylor's hunger for money will continue to grow as there's no soul there. She takes Beyoncé's concepts and removes any historical substance or connection. 1 1

Well, at least when you buy a vinyl from that viper you actually end up with the full album Also Beyoncé and the viper have the same hunger for money. This is a woman who went through knee surgery, released an album dedicated to the gays, then performed/limped for $25 million for Dubai's ELITE class, a place where her uncle johnny would be put to death for his sexuality. What substance did that have when she accepted that? Meth? (Also I don't buy the whole stealing idea about a concert film at AMC… billie eilish BTS and etc have all done similar concert films in the past in theaters, just having a laugh at the idea) 1 6
Draper. Posted May 25 Posted May 25 2 hours ago, QueenB said: Well, at least when you buy a vinyl from that viper you actually end up with the full album But you don't. Midnights had a whole new edition on release day with 7 new songs that are not available in any of the 6 variants she had. TTPD had 4 variants with 4 different "bonus tracks" (never the 4 songs in the same variant) and those ended up being regular tracks from another album that's never been on vinyl. It's really not that different from the Pink Friday 2 or Cowboy Carter situation, she just does it in a way in which it looks premeditated. Beyoncé could've announced the Beyincé version as Cowboy Carter and then release on the same day the digital version of the album as an extended edition; but it's the same. 5 1 1

They are literally different editions, Taylor clearly advertised what you are getting and how many tracks you will get prior to purchase. Posted her tracklist well in advance of release and then said "hey these edition of vinyls have bonus track (insert title here)" The standard album tracklist was always the same. Beyoncé advertised her album + a bonus track, then released a tracklist for the album a week before release, THEN only when people got the album did they find out it's not even the full album, not even the right version of songs, but the title is also wrong with NO bonus track whatsoever. bleeding fans dry? Sure, taylor takes the cake. A literal SCAM to fans? Fave takes that title. They are not the same at all Edit: correction, Beyoncé gave the tracklist the day before the album came out. Nothing indicates any track being the "bonus". Id rather take 4 different vinyls having 4 different bonus tracks (which were advertised and clearly labeled) than being told im getting a bonus track but receiving half the album and NO bonus Edited May 25 by QueenB 8 1
Youngstunna07 Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I really miss seeing Bey perform on live on TV. Crazy that this is her last televised performance, it was such a great performance also! Just amazing! Cowboy Carter for sure has been her most boring album era. Hopefully things turn around this summer and she doesn't stay silent. May be delusional thinking, but since she is NOT touring this summer, she can at least perform at a festival or award show. Give us something Bey! 1
Iyanla, Fix Me Posted May 25 Posted May 25 What feels worse? The behydrations of 2013 and pre-REN? or the nonexistent movement since CC release?

jane Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Trying to use a white woman to force Beyoncé to work? LOL joke on you, that is not happening. Beyoncé will double down not promoting a damn thing and will stay focused on her family this summer and business dealings. She ain't nobody's slave. Go stan that white lady and leave Beyoncé alone. Thanks. 2
QueenB Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Also AMC didnt tell Taylor's camp about Beyoncé's movie, they took heat from AMC's competition (Regal, Marcus, etc.) so when Beyoncé had her film in the pipeline they warned those theater chains that she will also have a movie. So these dramatic posts about a joke are for nothing 1
Mitsouko Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Amsterdam dragging the touring girlies. Flying horse not working for Bey. Drug smuggling not panning out for Nicki. When does blondie get there? 3
king_queen Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Do y'all remember the wait from Formation until the release of Lemonade? I think that was the most Beyhydrated I've ever been

AxelFox Posted May 26 Posted May 26 15 hours ago, Iyanla, Fix Me said: What feels worse? The behydrations of 2013 and pre-REN? or the nonexistent movement since CC release? The Renaissance era itself was by far the worst in my opinion. 2013 was a long wait but it paid off in the end so we were satisfied. For CC we kinda knew what to expect so most people have just been phasing out. But for Renaissance it was horrible because we had no idea what was coming our way. Or rather, what was not coming It was a new exciting era, a return to a more upbeat sound, we had all kind of hopes of how she would approach this new era in her career, a lot of people thought it was gonna be her COADF and instead it was utter frustration for months on end being on edge and waiting for something to happen. Only for nothing to happen and leave us all disillusioned. It was by far the most unsatisfactory experience with her and her music, probably of any I've had with music in general. Even more so now in retrospective since the album grew to be my favorite of hers after the tour started. Really has me thinking of everything that could've been and never was an how we were robbed of an experience we will never have the chance to get again. 2

A wonderful summary of Beyonce "eras" in the 2020s 1
Kristie Kuwa Posted May 26 Posted May 26 (edited) Its truly criminal how she lets Bodyguard die, a song that could EASILY smash in Europe/the US with the right push. Do an acoustic performance of THE and Bodyguard at home, send it to radio and let Bodyguard have the first Video which also teases the film again - easy Top20/10 hit song in Europe/the US Edited May 26 by Kristie Kuwa 2
Lose My Breath Posted May 26 Posted May 26 (edited) I've never been so disinterested in her before now lol. I honestly couldn't care less about ACT III Edited May 26 by Lose My Breath 2

I honestly couldn't care less about ACT III Sadly, I feel the same. Im totally checked out of anything Bey-related. That has NEVER happened before. Maybe its the sign of times - I feel like we live in such unstable times, more than ever it feels like were in heading towards a big storm/big war, life seems so delicate atm.. I don't know, her whole approach really pisses me of. It's so ungrateful, to us, to her collaborators... and lifes so short, peace is not secured, yet she rides on that "Queen"-narrative. And for what? Ego. Money. Privilege. I dont care if collaborators say shes sweet and humble if I dont get to see ANY of that. I really dont vibe with that at all atm Edited May 26 by Kristie Kuwa 2
