I'm glad she didn't do the trilogy alongside with Ivy Park. I never liked Ivy Park and I feel it just WOULDN'T have worked. Renaissance made her an even bigger fashion icon and gave us some of her if not her most iconic looks (Mugler AHAP Bee Suit and Loewe Bodysuit). And that produced controversy to a level Ivy Park never would've. And aaallll those fashion houses designing COUNTLESS looks for her is such a f*cking GAG. 
 

So I'm glad if that were a plan, that it didn't pan out. Because Ivy Park just would've NOT done any of the eras justice whatsoever. 

The annual releases would've driven sales tho and we would've gotten more frequent content, which in the day and age of social media and Co would've resulted in more revenue.

 

Im still super interested in Act3 now since it cannot be a coincidence that rhe last 3 collections reflect the albums so well.

And the Noir Collection basically revolved around the use of (faux)-leather fused with a rather 90s HipHop style.

If I had to guess, its honestly the style that would go really well with Doechiis Alligator Bites Never Heal. 

If thats the direction of Act3 + Rock influences, we are honestly looking at a potential AOTY

If pharrell is on act iii I'm sure he delivered

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A curly Fro could be so iconic for the last act...à la Tina Turner

Question - why do you think she's been wearing the glasses on stage lately? I know she wore them a bit during MCSWT and IAWT (and wore the tiny ones for OTRII) but she seemed to really rely on them during the RWT and tbh I hate it - you cant connect to her at all when shes masked like that

Releases being aligned with Ivy Park wouldn't mean she would only be wearing that tho 

 

Every Pink Ivy Park outfit for the Cuff It section of the tour looked amazing and the golden Ivy Park opening gown for Detroit was gorgeous too tho.

I know that! 
 

But I was never a fan of Ivy Park to begin with and I feel it would've just cheapened the entire era. Commercially would've been viable but would've just ruined the organicness that IS the era. You know Beyonce would've heavillyyy included Ivy Park in the tour had she aligned it with the trilogies, and I truly feel the tour wouldn't have looked nearrr as flawless as it did if she did that.

Idk, as a fan I truly don't care about her merch sales or Ivy Park. I'm more concerned about the music, visuals, and  tour. And I never was fond of IVY PARK to begin with. I feel she would've commercialized the eras too much if she aligned it with Ivy and I feel it would've cheapened the eras a little. 
 

I feel Act III is gonna be very Rock/Hip-Hop inspired. Very 80s/70s and we're gonna hear a type of fusion in music we have never heard HER done before or anyone else. I feel it's probably gonna be her most experimental project and very dark too lmao! And I'm SO EXCITEDDD!!!

I truly feel it's the lights and her age lol. She probably has a stigmatism or sumn. 
 

I truly don't like it when anyyy artist wears sunglasses on tour, but I feel I think with all her years of touring it may have affected her eyesight a little bit lol. So maybe that's why.

The darkness is SOO fitting regarding the Global and specifically US American situation. This really could be THE album of a lifetime that speaks to the people

insecurities and fear of unflattering pics most likely 

 

just like she was hiding her ass with her hands as much as possible in the more revealing outfits (the gucci CIL outfit f.e, she did NOT want to have her cheeks out in that ) or hiding her belly with the fan during heated 

 

that or she just hates looking at poor people who knows 

I didnt think about the lights causing eye damage but I guess thats more obvious than I thought...

 

As for her costuming / insecurity, I was surprised that some of her RWT outfits didnt seem practical for her peformance style. I loved those Ivy Park dresses but I am shocked there wasnt more internal support to avoid wardrobe malfunctions

My secret wish is act iii being her American Idiot moment

Maybe we misjudge Team Bey.

Maybe Act3 fits SO well to the current development in the US that they are just waiting for the perfect storm where people truly get upset about Trumps presidency.

This could be HUGE if done well at the right time.

Dont do this to yourself.

Shed not going to win.

Shes only going to anounce the tour at some point.

 

Thats all we get in the next weeks.

I don't think we're doing anything to ourselves.  She has a chance to win every time, and there's no sense in denying that possibility just because she might not.

 

I don't think a single member of the hive (on here at least) will be crushed if she loses again.  We'll just be like, "Of course," and shrug and go on with our lives.

Every time Beyonce loses Album of the Year she gets closer to winning it. She *will* eventually win it, and it will probably be because of an 'overdue' narrative. If ACT II doesnt win it for her, ACT III probably will because it'll be framed as an acknowledgement for the entire trilogy.

Thats fair. 

 

And if Act3 truly is a fusion between Rock and HipHop, then we are in for her Magnum Opus, cause she EXCELS at these genres.

Some people think Taylor is about to announce more re-releases, Gaga is releasing, The Weeknd is releasing

 

It's a bit frustrating it's been ten days and we don't know anything.  If Vogue's winter issue covers January and February, the next possibility for her cover is March and that would mean it'd be announced around mid February.  That's still weeks away

Grammy night will be fun wether she wins or not. We will see her again after over a month and she'll probably debut a new look. And of course we'll have people's reactions to her inevitable country win.

Hear me out:

 

These past 3.5 years:

 

Ivy Park Rodeo released in 2021 -> Cowboy Carter (remember CC was originally Act1)

 

Ivy Park Ivytopia released in 2022 (Silver Collection)-> Renaissance (originally Act2)

 

Ivy Park Noir released in 2023 -> Act3

 

 

The Ivy Park collections probably shouldve come alongside the album releases, confirming annual album releases were planned for the trilogy. If it wasnt for COVID, we wouldve gotten Act3 by now + the visuals, I'm sure of it.

 

Also seeing the Noir Collection, it seems to hint more of a fusion between Rock and HipHop

 

I saw a tiktok where this lady was breaking it down the same way. Seems v plausible.

When she pulls into the arena on a motorcycle and sits on it the entire show, and drives it on stage to accept her awards

When she releases the lead single of act 3 3 days before and then debuts the song live, then WHAT?

 

The Jean Paul Gaultier dress she wore on the Sasha Fierce shoot is on display at the Louvre part of their new Couture exhibit, well they pair couture pieces and place them next to their influences throughout the museum. It would have been cool to see something from the Apeshit video on there.

But none of this matters because Beyonce is announcing a tour, not new music.

I don't think we can speak in absolutes when we don't know anything.  I'm 99% sure it's a tour, yes, but I'm also hoping she's releasing act iii and touring them both.

 

Four calendar years is enough for a three-act project when she's not really doing anything with the albums outside of releasing them and disappearing.
