Sugar calm down we are not saying that act iii will be released the 14th but she's clearly hinting act iii - the font used in the teaser is Gothic - it actually reminded me of a Gothic font called "Metrim"

exactly…miss betty black is coming

[ShouldersSideways]

Still catching up... the complaints about AR don't really make sense to me.  It's a 5 minute song, and the best parts are after the 3 minute mark, but they aren't as good without the buildup of the first two.

 

She'd basically have to spend at least 4 minutes of an 11~ minute performance on it

She could've started with the Blackbiird girls or a chorus singing this:

 

Nothin' really ends
For things to stay the same, they have to change again
Hello, my old friend
You change your name, but not the ways you play pretend
American Requiem
Them big ideas (Yeah), are buried here (Yeah)
Amen

 

And then her appearing or turning back to do this acapella:

It's a lot of talkin' goin' on
While I sing my song
Can you hear me?
I said, "Do you hear me?"

 

And then go into Blackbiird.

 

16 Carriages was underwhelming because she was uncomfortable on the horse and the pyrotechnics were laughable. But she clearly loves it, like My House.

I'm glad that she spent all year showcasing different songs through her ad campaigns. Ya Ya at the Olympics, My House for Verizon, Levii's Jeans for the Levi's ad, American Requiem to promote the halftime itself (even if she didn't perform it), Bodyguard for the election, Pure/Honey for Rabanne. Not many artists can go on stage performing all these deep cuts for the GP but Bey makes sure people know her albums. If any other artist had done this halftime it would've been a collection of their greatest hits but she doesn't need to rely on that.

 

For all the people that dislike CC they sure know it exists, she's made sure of that! And it continues to cause all this conversation.

I may be late, but he is a Parkwood employee.  Probably worked on the clip.

yes..i think that's what he did. i think he worked on all the promo clips

[Kristie Kuwa]

Im a bit sad that in an alternate reality, this show wouldve been a Renaissance showcase

[Erotica]

I wonder if she used the opportunity to show the GP how amazing CC can be live. Us big fans don't need that, but some people who like Bey but not Country music aren't as excited to see CC on tour. So maybe this was to give people a flavour of what is to come next year. 

[ShouldersSideways]

When I watch other pop stars perform, I can make sense of the setlist and how they did it.  Like... tbh the field is pretty rudimentary.

 

With Bey, I'm always like how did you think of that??? It's laughable that people claim it's because she has a good team, because she's had several creatives over 20 years but the one team member that hasn't changed is her.

I didn't get the vibe she was uncomfortable on the horse.   Beyond that, I go back to what I said: AR doesn't hit the same unless you do the whole song.

 

16C was contextually important because it was about leaving home, but now she's back.  It wouldn't really make sense to have the Blackbird girls there to sing a song they aren't even on.  Might as well have had Post do II Most Wanted

[Erotica]

The performance of My House was sooo good, I am low key sad it wasn't a part of RWT but hopefully she will include it on the next one!

!!! And it's the same for her albums.

She is the one common denominator.

I was also thinking that she might have also made the decision to sacrifice AR because it might potentially be the opening song for the tour. 

And I do agree the build up in AR is important still I can't help but feel a sense of loss because I wanted it so damn much but that's a me problem.

Like I said before, this halftime show was part of the whole Grammys campaign. She wants that AOTY. Act 3 is NOT coming or being announced on January 14th. Lol.

AR and 2MW (with Miley) would be so good at the Grammys… if she would even consider performing there again lol. Hoping that's the reason they weren't performed yesterday.

This is part of the reason I don't think act iii is coming yet.  From a marketing standpoint, the average consumer isn't digging deep for music these days and CC still has another night to shine.  Parkwood, for all their faults, is very focused.  Dropping a single for an album that isn't CC would be counterproductive when the older album would steal attention from the newer

[ReneighIsHere]

Wait i just noticed this… she told us to look at that horse. The horse's legs are black.. i don't think it's the lighting. It's not the horse from the cowboy carter cover… it's transitioning into the act III horse. #delusional 

[ShouldersSideways]

Also, why is no one talking about Live Nation sharing her post?  It's clearly a tour or residency announcement.

 

(Although I will say last night many people said they wanna go see her again, but they spent so much on Renaissance they can't do it again)
