I'm starting to think this too. It's suppose to be something probably even more massive than just a tour announcement. Probably a full entendre of things. Music, visuals, and maybe a live component all together. Lordddd.

And in the case of a tour, dates don't have to go on sale right away. She could have announced that the tour will start in May for example and that tickets will be on sale at a later date. She postponed the announcement because it was the right thing to do right now. There is so much music constantly being released. She is not postponing music bc of these fires. It makes no sense.
PaloSanto Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Her waiting til the very last minute to say nothing was coming and then pushing it for 3 more weeks is why the hive has all them bad fringe pics ready 1

Kristie Kuwa Posted January 14 Posted January 14 At this point it better be that because I fail to see why a tour anouncement cannot be done earlier than that
ShouldersSideways Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I don't wanna be nihilistic but these last few months have been AWFUL. Not for me personally, but just... overall. Today was going to be a distraction from all the bad news, but instead just another climate change compounded issue taking something else away from us I hate our new normal 5 6

I mean... because 1 - a music release (from a massive act like Beyoncé) would divert attention from the fires and help efforts 2 - more cynically, a music/visual release right now would get buried in the press and mostly generate backlash? she's not the only artist delaying stuff. other things that have been delayed include nomination announcement for the Oscars and the Critics' Choice Awards ceremony. 1
jane Posted January 14 Posted January 14 The Feb 6th date is fake. That account is losing it and took it personal. After posting the fake thing, now they are pretending to go on a ''break'' from stanning Bey LOL. I understand life being stressful for many and wanting a distraction but Beyoncé must protect her name and brands. The media would drag her for the remaining week if she had released something. You could actually feel they were preparing it too.
benyonce Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Yikes, I really hope the wait will be worth it. I had come to terms with the announcement potentially being lacklustre just so I didn't feel disappointed but now I want it all. Manifesting a Trilogy tour coinciding with the lead (or 3), album pre-order with every purchase giving you exclusive access to the tour pre-sale to prop up the sales. Make it happen Bey. None of this documentary or brand venture nonsense.

So is Beyoncé diverting attention or getting drowned out my media. Which one? The Weeknd postponed a CONCERT. Not some singles from an upcoming project Nominations for these huge award shows are postponed bc of the sheer amount of ppl involved Beyoncé releasing music and going ghost for months isn't stopping anything… 1

It is what it is. Let's hope the fires calm down soon and people are ready to look for distractions again. 1

Amari is touring with FLO then. No way would she agree to choreograph that tour if she was prepping the CC tour. Also blue is obviously coming and she's not out of school until may. So, she can announce it anytime between now and march and be fine.

Calypso Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I disagree that Beyoncé is in a damned if I do damned if I don't situation. Postponing is the right decision and call and we have little moral grounds to question it - especially since it is her hometown and her entire close family lives there. However, this is hella disappointing and another instance of disrespect from B and her team towards her fans. Announcing it LITERALLY at the last minute - like a damn countdown - is so disrespectful and nasty. It is poor PR and to me make her look inauthentic. They knew of the fires and horrible situation for over a week. Even Tina's house burning down happened last week! The decision to push the 'announcement' should have come earlier. And even if we grant that the decision was last minute - it should have come earlier in the day. Instead, they gleefully watched the hive and media stir up excitement, waste their energy and hype and inform them at the last minute. I am sorry that is not very professional. I am not sure why B's PR handling has been so poor in certain aspects. All the goodwill and hype from the halftime for this 14th announcement could have been successfully diverted for another day. But this last minute - literal! - informing is so rude. I fail to see it any other way. In fact, all those screaming in defence of Bey saying the fires are crazy and hurting the community and family only reinforce the idea that this decision should have BEEN clear for many days now. Spoiler For me, this adds to the list of PR failures and communication blunders from B team that are disrespectful. This hurts her brand. We are stans in here and forget and forgive, joke and cackle and move on. But I know real fans and people - I have met THROUGH stanning B, that have turned off from this path of being stans because of these things. Vyette needs to go or change her modus operendi. B is a mother, businesswoman, CEO, has multiple ventures, projects, is an artist, etc. These decisions should be handled by her PR team, and by that I mean the timing and press. Even if B was undecided till last minute, a good PR lead would have been pushing for announcing a timely and sensitive delay for a WEEK now. At the VERY least earlier during the day on the 13th. Just my feeling. Don't jump me. 4 2 2

Which one? it's both. she'd be diverting attention for regular folk (and getting dragged for it) while being drowned out in the news media/not getting the coverage she usually gets with an announcement of this magnitude. 18 minutes ago, king_queen said: The Weeknd postponed a CONCERT. Not some singles from an upcoming project did you miss the part where he said he is postponing his ENTIRE ALBUM RELEASE, which was originally scheduled for 1/24? 20 minutes ago, king_queen said: Nominations for these huge award shows are postponed bc of the sheer amount of ppl involved they are also postponed because anything to do with celebrity and millionaires is, right now, seen as superfluous. for most everyone in California, where I am and where the entire film and music industries are based, there's more important **** going on. 3

You right I couldn't give a damn though. New music is literally what ppl need right now. And it doesn't change my original take that the announcement is going to be a tour ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This announcement was a light at the end of the tunnel. At the same time you walk outside and it's like the aftermath of the apocalypse so I get why. People have lost everything so it's insensitive to promote a project. Especially since she also lives here. I have no idea what it will be at this point. I just wish she would've told us it wasn't coming sooner.
