  • 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

It's gotten to the most uninformed person in my life who doesn't even know who Diddy is :rip:

 

I guess now it's time for her feature on Reputation TV :-*

The question is will the actual album be done in enough time to press an adequate vinyl album and liner notes booklet. Even the album box for CC was complete lazy axx trash. 
 

I believe she'll go all out and have everything right after the two month long fiasco with the limit-VS-standard, that could've easily been avoided, but I think ppl will be to skeptical to care after all this. Some fans will have to sacrifice themselves for the others to give a damn. 

I will not spend money on this woman again. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

I already have RENAISSANCE and Cowboy Carter might as well complete the full horse.

People I know in real life now think Beyonce was involved in the Diddy stuff and these are not people who usually pay attention to TikTok.

Now that I think about it… the way we have a wave of new inspiration for act iii's goth punk moment of female rage. No dead relative needed! It's about to get uglier than Kenneth Petty. :jonnycat:

I just rewatched the Levi's Jeans campaign and saw the Easter Egg with the sign that says 'Fine Tailoring by Uncle Johnny' :jonny5: 

She really misses her Uncle Johnny so much.

a friend of my mom telling her she's heard about bey being heavily involved in sex trafficking on the news…. where the hell do these people get their info from cause…:suburban:

All these rumors, it's giving IASF Illuminati all over again. Which must mean the next album is about to smash. :duca:

It's much more prevalent offline than some people on here want to believe.

 

She's always been the subject of rumors and outlandish claims, but this is the worst to me because it's accusing her of the abuse of women and children. I'm not sure how she should handle it.

 

It's insane to me it seems to be completely bypassing Jay and it's her name primarily being thrown around.

It's even up there with Diddy imo. It's so stupid. This won't go away like people think it will.

the part of hive who's all "who cares she had worse hate trains" don't seem to get that this makes an eerily huge amount of noise irl, even for beyoncé standards 

 

not a single person offline cared about the spaz thing, the writers/stolen credits allegations, the renaissance showings in israël, her performing in dubai, bik/the gift flopping etc, stuff hive swore were hate trains… but everyone, old and young, seems to care about these bizarre made up allegations and i can't for the life of me understand where they are even coming from ? you'd think she was on trial rn and it's being broadcasted on tv the way people talk :deadbanana4:

 

it's honestly really scary to see just how stupid most people irl are, bc it's not just the 60yo facebook boomer type to fall for these conspiracies anymore, it's your family members, friends and coworkers now :biblionana:

I lowkey love it since I deep down HATE and LOATHE her approach to dealing with Media and her career. So let it backfire, one day she'll realize all she had to do was to be likeable like Rihanna

I don't think her problem has ever been likability - it's relatability. And only some people even care about that. 
 

Having said that, this is still all about humbling her, whether she is likable or relatable or not. People want her to have a scandal.

Sorry, but nah, not for this take at all. 

 

Some of y'all love Bey but really don't "get" her brand in the slightest. It's low-key jarring.

 

Before I'm called a**-licking Hive, I'm really not. Bey can and does get her tuggings where deserved. I'll pre-empt the "where are the visuals?" "botched vinyl" and associated BS. I'm right there with y'all. 

 

However, when is it going to resonate that Bey is literally who she is and revered in the way she is BECAUSE of her superhero, last-of-her-kind, mysterious aura. 

 

Y'all, you cannot have your cake and eat it too. You can't.

 

Sure there can be tweaks, edits, and adaptations where possible. But in general, Bey cannot be this omnipresent, girl next door, "just like me and you" type because she wouldn't be...Beyonce. 

 

There is a larger-than-life component that is baked into her celebrity and her success that simply is what it is. 

 

The easiest way to relay this is that Superman, Batman, and similar do not live and mingle amidst the people. They are a special attraction, who leave jaws ajar when they swoop down. That's effectively Bey and it's a big part of why she is considered on a different level than a Rihanna or Taylor. 

 

With respect, we have to stop assessing Bey through such a narrow, obtuse lens. Celebrity and the sustaining of one's stardom is not a one-glove-fits-all thing. One act may thrive being a cutesy, rosy-cheeked, "one of my girls" type star like a Taylor. Another may thrive being a sassy clapback Queen ala Rihanna. Anther may thrive serving luxe, slightly inaccessible, and having a talent that is otherworldly like Bey. All are valid, all can work, and all are working.

 

I'll leave it at that because I'd go as far as to say there is also a racial element being overlooked. For reasons that are too plentiful and complex to unpack here, IMO Bey doesn't have the luxury of all-at-once being "allowed" to serve perfect while laying her flaws bare (the key metric for relatability). She's already a target when she doesn't speak, imagine the evisceration attempts if she did!

The convos B her team and Levi must have atm cause the Diddy mess is kinda overshadowing a huge campaign :jonnycat:

i don't think that would've changed much. she should've tried being a bad singer, dancer and performer like the other girls, cause i don't see rihanna or taylor being accused of trafficking children :keir:

Also dont take my word seriously - im just petty, bored and annoyed by the zero-interest-in-my-projects-policy on Beys part.

 

Of course I dont wish her any harm!
