I loved it, a lot actually. 

Although I am mourning AR, this was fantastic.

now how stupid can y'all be to think the announcement is anything act III related..

 

why on earth would she now choose to rush and finish the x3 acts, especially in the midst of the D*ddy controversy. She took several months between Ren drop and the Ren tour announcement. She probably had this planned all along, to spend Summer 2024 in private with her family, and tour in 2025. We've also been assuming a CC tour would be in 2025 since the day CC was announced, because it only makes sense.

 

Releasing an album and unloading a whole new era would be a rookie mistake. It's obviously a tour. Also CC never truly begun until now. 

 

 

Not to mention the teaser is her in Cowboy Carter aesthetic to the max..

She did not have this planned since she was planning to do the Sphere during this year (which would be CC live just like RWT was for act i), and she certainly wasn't planning to release COWBOY CARTER the way she did since she didn't have the vinyls with newly added songs ready. We also know that she did plan at some point to release REN visuals, but she decided not to. And we know that she didn't wanna do RWT film but she did it anyway, and that at some point (after deciding she was actually gonna do it) she wanted to scrap it. Not to mention that CC was supposed to be act I and REN was gonna be act ii/iii. So, nothing makes sense. She doesn't plan things years in advance, they just happen and she rushes them most of the time. It's just that she does it so well that we don't even notice 

It gets better the more you re-watch. 

I hope Parkwood doesn't snatch the performance from X, I will like to re-watch it from there tomorrow. 

 

Second watch, the Riiverdance girlies really won after all.

 

The Levii's Jeans section slayed second most after THE, she and he looked amazing there.

 

So the Beyoncé Bowl could be like a mini version of last year's Renaissance film (if there's a decent amount of additional/BTS footage included). And this time we're actually getting it on streaming.

I'm shocked by the negative commentary regarding it in here. I thought it was very in tune with the Christmas spirit without being blatantly Christmas-y. It was nice. It was also mindful to have the horses secluded in a space where they're less likely to be spooked or whatever the case may be live on the field. 

 

 

 

See what a little promo does for mother.

 

140k already.

Actually...knowing her, it'd be quite the opposite. Time and time again, Beyonce has proven to do the opposite of what's expected.

 

even tonight...no one expected a 16C opening

You're right tbh. Same way none of us expected her to open RWT with DIL.

--

I loved the opening too. She looked grand on the horse and I love both 16C & Blackbird  vocals were pretty, I can't complain lol

 

It gave me a bit of a Christmas-y vibe too which was nice

Beyonce getting all this attention but I thought she was a killer though?

 

Didn't she get rid of Biggie, Pac, Aaliyah, Left-Eye and Michael Jackson?

 

We're definitely getting something tour or residency related on January 14th or else Live Nation wouldn't have retweeted the teaser. 

Beyonce & Netflix just raised the bar for halftime shows in general!

 

Amazing work. 

 

10/10

 

The new bar has been raised and no one will meet it. 

"Look at that horse"

 

Sweet Honey Buckiin' getting it's rightful flowers.

Possibly, but let's not forget the fiasco when LiveNation retweeted this which turned out to be nothing.

Considering it uses the Netflix Beyoncé Bowl Font, Netflix matched her Bio with "Look at that Horse", the assistant director who worked on Homecoming retweeted it with a '🎥', *and* LiveNation retweeted,

 

this is most likely going to be a BTS documentary containing the actual performance, which shows her discussing the album itself AND the making of the halftime show. And it ends with her announcing a tour.

 

this serves as good fodder for Grammy voters, fulfils one of her Netflix deals AND explains all the confusion

Won't Grammy voting be over by the 14th?

Didn't her manager already deny the tour?

I hope its not a re-release or something

Isn't that just a fan theory and nothing indicates that there will be any additional footage? 

 

Just now, Jon Snow said:

Yeah it's a theory. I think it's specifically the wording of "standalone special" which is leading people to think there's more, because they could've just said performance or standalone video, but it being a "special" is intriguing.

 

 

It would also add to why it's taking a few days to be uploaded. If it was just the performance they could upload it now. So it's almost like they need a couple days to edit something together.

 

It could all mean absolutely nothing, though.

 

I like the name "REVOLUTION"

 

Also

 

 

My delulu hivecard

I LOVVEDDD the intro lmao. I wasn't counting on her doing AR either lol. I feel some of y'all kept wishing she did it and thought it was actually gonna happen.

The intro was great and well justified. Stop being annoying. 

i loved the opening as well...i was pleasantly surprised by 16C opener after all the debate over other options. when Blackbird started too...i was kinda confused & didn't know where things were going but when I saw the other girls emerge looking beautiful...I found it to be heartwarming. Then "Yaya" came & slayed. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I feel like a lot of the complaints from the haters are coming from people having Super Bowl/Coachella expectations for an event that explicitly isn't the Super Bowl. 

No major artist has put this much work into a standalone, non-Super Bowl performance or executed it this well since her own Coachella, and people are grasping at straws to complain.
