Theres a lovely quote in one of the books of Sandersons Stormlight Archives that immediately comes to mind here:

 

"And so," he said, "in the end, what must we determine? Is it the intellect of a genius that we revere? If it were their artistry, the beauty of their mind, would we not laud it regardless of whether we'd seen their product before?

 

"But we don't. Given two works of artistic majesty, otherwise weighted equally, we will give greater acclaim to the one who did it first. It doesn't matter what you create. It matters what you create before anyone else.

 

"So it's not the beauty itself we admire. It's not the force of intellect. It's not invention, aesthetics, or capacity itself. The greatest talent that we think a man can have?" He plucked one final string. "Seems to me that it must be nothing more than novelty."

 

 

And THAT is the tea for the ever-so-slow and self-pacing-because-shes-the-queen, Beyonce.

Still Bey is the first to do it in the mainstream world. She started with B'Day and made a splash with ST. 

In the mainstream world, she's still synonym with visual album and all those people are proudly taking inspiration from her and walking in her footsteps.

The trailer and press release for her visuals are going to have to overly stress "filmed over a 5~ period" or something because chile…we can't say people are reheating her nachos if she hasn't cooked them yet.

She better launch the trailer in every major City from Singapore to Bejing to Lagos to Rio to New York and make it the Event of the millenia. Im SICK of lowkey promo. 

And I better see her doing some interviews once this wraps up. Enough *****, you're 43 years old, you can speak 

 

 

we need to keep asking about the visuals then 

Everyone doin visual albums 

(Why is she doing two Vegas dates? General sale just started and there's basically no queues and many tickets left for both dates)

Hopefully, maybe a half full stadium makes her promote again. We can only HOPE

I am sick of the "scarcity creates value" ethos. Time to support your own work. Look at others popping up on every podcast and hot sauce eating contest spinning wild tales to prop up their mid oontz oontz albums and Bey can't throw us a crumb in some highly controlled, stylized doc to explore the origins and process of behind something as layered and meticulous as Cowboy Carter?

Releasing an art book for an album that had 0 visuals was wild

Ive actually seen zero now that you mention it.

 

Celebs have gotten so lazy depending on social media to do their jobs for them.

 

Ms. Carter Show has a commercial and it was so legendary for the 02 shows.

If she was doing 2 shows in Vegas than she shouldn't have done 5 in LA imo. The 2nd show in Vegas for RWT was a very slow seller but it eventually sold out. It looks like Vegas in general is going to be a slow seller for this tour. Neither show this time is performing on par with Vegas Night 1 from the RWT which sold out almost immediately.  

 

The two positives are that its Vegas so people will buy tickets while there to have something to do and there the last two shows of the tour so hive might travel to Vegas to make up for low local demand. Kinda like what happened with  Kansas City for RWT. I think that's why they felt confident in doing 2 Vegas shows again.

The rollout for this tour has been baffling

Vegas will sellout, even if it's the day of with vacationers looking for a show.  They were some of her best grossing shows during RWT, and the second show looked terrible

 

Also, they're 4 months away

Gaga is doing arenas in the US this years with several dates back to back to satisfy demand. 
 With this news, Bey may top the NA box office this year, at least in the US.

I blame the slow ticket sales in Vegas on the delayed announcement. How on earth would people (other than fans who follow her every move and signed up for her newsletter) know that there's two new shows when she doesn't even post about it on social media let alone do anything else to promote.

More uninformed headlines: https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2025/03/24/beyonce-cowboy-carter-cheap-seats-sinking-35-dollars/

 

it's ironic bc originally these outlets were dragging her for having too high of prices and now they flip the switch and dragging them for being too low  like which is it

 

And I checked, the $30 tickets are just resales of already sold tickets, but ofc they had to make it seem like she had to lower her prices like there's no demand
