Also, she HAS Cowboy Carter visuals no matter how delusional ATRLers are.

She has BEEN having them.

She clearly has Cowboy visuals yes - the trailer interlude from CCT confirms it, as do her lyric videos for Act II (Jolene in particular is literally a clip from the Jolene video), as does the CC album teaser dropped by Nadia, which references Paris, Texas.

If @Teneo and @Cbreezy have both been talking about reshoots/shoots as recently as last year, then I'd suggest Act III also has visual content to accompany it. We'll know more when the lead singles drop (BMS's cover art was a still from the Nadia video, Texas and 16 both had Nadia visual stills as their cover art, too, and the official visualisers were all music video clips (BMS: Bey on Reneigh, THE: Bey with the smoking hand gun, 16C: Bey in pearls by the mirror)

Yes what @alien superstore said! (Category: smart b/tch)

Does anyone remember when some thieves stole unreleased Beyonce music last year?

Why did my mind automatically jump to unreleased Cowboy Carter songs for some reason?

No it's not?

That look with the blonde hair and red/pink outfit clearly is. Look at her blonde wig.

omg ty for calling me smart - im being very active today sorry for clogging the basé

I also think some pictures for the Conman Carter era could just be photoshoots but not music videos.

Like this can just be a photoshoot:

I LOVE this look so much! Does she have some mesh suit on our something because you can see some outline by her.....

20 minutes until we Take the Heat ™️

These are all from the Jolene video (and the mug from Shop Beyonce also has the Jolene looks)

I hate the way she looks in the 16 Carriages cover. She looks like she was being held at gunpoint to shoot the picture. Like damn ma fine dont even give us stills

So far most of the looks from this visual trilogy we assume might just be photoshoots appear to have been shot for videos too (e.g. it turns out Beyonce on Reneigh from the Renaissance cover has been taken from a visual sequence:

And the Break My Soul cover art appears to be taken from the Break My Soul visual, too:

The 16 Carriages visualiser matches up perfectly with the vinyl booklet photoshoot for the same song:

Following this logic, that look she has on for her Texas Hold Em cover art, which also features in the vinyl booklet against that song, can safelt be assumed as a music video look. Bodyguard's vinyl image is the same outfit she has on for the Texas Hold Em visualiser, but if the videos connect to eachother in the film then there is likely crossover in which outfit appears where.

I guess what I'm saying, is if we have seen the outfit in cover art or in the album vinyl, we should probably assume it's an outfit she dons in a video.

Whats the nuance to the streaming services not biting on the visuals? They bit on jlos temu version of a visual film. Sooo?

I can only assume it is because of what she was asking?

I am pretty sure she has had Cowboy Carter visuals as far back as 2021.

I just love how @alien superstore completely ignored my question about the mesh.

I was so disappointed in this one.

Even though no one asked for it (), I was expecting visuals for every song especially Dear Ben Pt 2.

Yeah I always felt like the 16 carriages cover always looked like Bey was held captive and forced to take the pic. I'm not even trying to be funny but lmfao........

@alien superstore you had one job. Smh.

I wonder if the Renaissance Tour Film will get released on streaming services after the trilogy is over as well

Reading between T*neo's lines (not @ing incase they get into trouble), Bey wanted to sell the visuals to the streamers for a certain cost, but she also wanted to retain the rights to them long-term. Instead, the streamers wanted Bey to edit the visuals so that they had a more commercial feel, without funding the reshoots, and then pay less for them than she originally asked, and wanted co-ownership of the end product.

I might be wrong with the specifics there, but that seems like a rough idea of what they were hinting at.

I've had a look into the J-Lo film. It looks like J-Lo self-funded the project. Here's an excerpt from The Hollywood Reporter:

Jennifer Lopez took on an enormous challenge with This is Me … Now: A Love Story, the "narrative driven, cinematic original" film that hits Prime Video this week. It wasn't the singing, acting or intricate choreography featured in the 65-minute musical, as the multihyphenate can do all of that in her sleep. The real hurdle arose when the money disappeared and Lopez opted to open her wallet to pay for the whole thing.

"Everybody thought I was crazy when I said I would do it. We did have financing, and then that fell out. They pulled out at the last minute, and then it was that moment where you go, 'OK, do we just make a video or do we go ahead and do this thing?'" explained the 54-year-old entertainer during an interview at the Four Seasons Los Angeles in Beverly Hills while sitting alongside her Nuyorican Prods. producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. (Though she didn't say how much she plunked down, Variety has since reported it was a hefty $20 million sum.)

While Prime picked the project up, it doesn't appear that J Lo made any money from the deal. The Times called it a "flop" in those exact words;

Bey probably doesn't want the inevitable negative press if she ends up having to send her (probably far more expensive trilogy) projects to a streamer for a financial loss. It's better to have the good PR lined up of 'look at this amazing deal we made!' to at least soften the blow if it ends up being a commercial or critical dud.

Lmao sorry I was sending so many messages to basé that I wanted to slow down before someone got mad at me!!! I honestly can't really tell! I would assume there's some sort of bodysuit there tho.
