But when I see Shaboozey tearing the charts up and all the beautiful female country singers flying to new heights, inspiring the world, that is exactly what motivates me." Quote "But Cowboy Carter has also sparked conversations and for Beyoncé, that's more important than going multi-platinum." Quote "There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited & motivated me. Once you have challenged yourself & poured every ounce of your life, your pain, your growth and your dreams into your art, it's impossible to go backward. I'm very grateful & humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album." Quote "Outside making history for other acts, Cowboy Carter is continuing to make history for Beyoncé, with some music experts predicting the piece of work could finally win the artist with the most Grammys in Grammy history the coveted album of the year trophy next year." Quote "I'm honored to introduce so many people to the roots of so many genres. I'm so thrilled that my fans trusted me. The music industry gatekeepers are not happy about the idea of bending genres, especially coming from a Black artist and definitely not a woman." Edited June 21 by rosesbloom 5 10

midnightdawn Posted June 21 Posted June 21 We love an artist who puts their artistry ahead of commercial gains and capitalistic desires! 4
makeme Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Very well said. How can you not respect this amazing artist I mean come on. Pure class 6 3
schnetzka Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Not being motivated for charts or sales doesn't mean no music videos or performances though. 7 1
Doctor Dick Posted June 21 Posted June 21 She's been like this since the 4 era. We yell she 'mismanages' her career with sabotaging her singles but in doing so she's created body of works that have broken barriers and impacted pop culture and music along with becoming a legend, something she wouldn't necessarily have become had she chased charts. 5 7 1
dman4life Posted June 21 Posted June 21 I believe her! If she wanted this to be a commercial success there are so many more ways she could have promoted this. Throughout her solo career you can tell Beyoncé has never wanted to be just another R&B singer she's always wanted to take things to the next level and explore. 8 3

I lovveeee Beyoncé, she is literally one of my favorite artists of all time, however girl be serious she and her husband LOVE capitalism lol. It's no shade, all of our rich faves love capitalism… but she certainly partakes. That being said I think she is being truthful that later in her career she has put her artistry ahead of her capitalism. 3
futuresuperstar2023 Posted June 21 Posted June 21 This is believable. I still wish she would at least give us an acoustic live performance at her home or something and give the visuals to Renaissance and Cowboy Carter. Do Beyonce understand that the GP is missing her? I get that she has the the Beyhive but the General Public want her to come back a little. They are tired of certain Artist lmao 1

Pop Fan Posted June 21 Posted June 21 (edited) She's pretentious and full of s***. What artistry?? She can't even write one song for the album and she's talking about like she's the next Prince or Stevie Wonder. She's so full of herself it's so cringe Edited June 21 by Pop Fan 4 7 3 27

Food for thought I didn't mention Taylor but you did but I'm happy you realize it. Beyonce needs to drop them visuals and do a couple performances to promote her music. Bey doing that would sure get people to stream her music. Like I said before the GP is missing Beyonce presence and is realizing some things lmao 2 1

Mordecai Posted June 21 Posted June 21 The irony in all of this is that musicians' promo schedules are less demanding than ever before. All she has to do is drop some visuals, film a couple of videos and do some playlisting at the bare minimum. She doesn't have to fly everywhere and perform or do talk shows anymore like she had to 15 years ago I genuinely thought she had a shot at AOTY with this but considering how she paid it dust upon release and so it was forgotten straight away I don't see it for her anymore 5

Rotunda Posted June 21 Posted June 21 6 minutes ago, Cheers said: if she didn't care she wouldn't have teased the start of the era with a Super Bowl commercial. I think she cares a lot about the financials of her music, but not necessarily the chart success piece. She wants an ROI for the stuff she does. Chart success can be synonymous with financial success, but it often isn't.

That being said I think she is being truthful that later in her career she has put her artistry ahead of her capitalism. Ok, but she was talking about the charts and sales of her music, not general capitalism lol. There's multiple ways for her to get money and she's been rich for a long time so there really is no need for someone like her to chase the charts and even more commercial success at this point. She was never that greedy or desperate to begin with, that was her father. Hell, I remember back in the DC days when she used to tell anyone who would listen that she wanted to be retired by age 30 and in a way, she has been semi-retired since age 30. One thing she's always had regardless was ambition and passion for whatever work she was doing. I think all artists should strive to get to a place where they are some kind of financially comfortable so they can experiment to their hearts desire with their music and not have to answer to a label if they're lucky. She really is in a unique position and whether she knows it or not, is probably blazing a trail on how younger popular artists are gonna move in their careers henceforth. 1 1
