Thundercat was indeed rumored to be a collaborator on act3, so this is exciting

Wasnt Bad Bunny rumored to be a collaborator on Act3 as well?

Why are y'all saying she's presenting AOTY?

Isn't that sometimes the practice? Presenting an award you won the prior year?

I could potentially see her doing it to drip feed a new aesthetic, but I hope she's wearing something that's actually nice if she does.

Anyway, the optics would be cool this year. The three frontrunners are Kendrick, Gaga and Bad Bunny. All three of those interactions would be instantly viral, whip up affection and offer a nice cleanse of the palette before her new era fully kicks off.

Bad Bunny, Rosalia, Thundercat, Jack White, Gaga and a Tina sample have all been rumoured

I had a dream she surprise released Act III. The cover was a realistic painting of a shirtless white man's back, sitting on a chair, and the background was painted light blue. I think it was a jazz album.

can you imagine the drama if she released a jazz album and went head to head with ol girl? I hope she waits another so ol girl can win her Grammys first.

fad was never actually rumored to be included, that's wishful thinking on the liddos (and gaga's ) side. rosalia isn't really rumored either outside people saying they've recorded something yes ago + bey being supposed to be on Lux. Tina isn't really rumored per se, people just assume she'd be included because it'd make sense

I do hope Beyonce presents AOTY or progressive country album and makes a statement about ICE like she did when she presented Kaepernick an award some years ago. TikTok is starting to do its thing again where they drag silent celebs and I'm not defending her or feeling bad for her this time. Luckily for her Taylor swift is getting most of the heat but she's always mentioned right after her.

i hope she loses because i hate seeing them happy but bey handing gaga aoty would be very cute and instantly iconic idk

Reading this list honestly tells me the story of why so clearly…

All of those performers reaching a similar milestone in their career all within the same 12-13 year stretch says the Millennials who grew up at that time learning of that group of legacy performers, had them as the measure for what a legacy performer looks like(for lack of better term). And Beyoncé is the performer from the Millennial era who best represents what we knew from the past - and we continue to embrace her because as time has gone on, legacy performers have almost diminished. Perhaps you could argue a few others into the conversation justifiably, but she stands as the anomaly because of her tenure and because her fanbase has not died off, nor has her appeal to the general public. Again, mostly due to the generations who grew up listening to her and how we consume/perceive our artists now.

And I use the word performer specifically because that is the common attribute of Beyonce and all of the legends you listed. It's also what sets her apart from so many of her peers who are not actually performers so much as they are creatives who sing.

Sorry for the word vomit

That's an interesting perspective. Definitely Beyoncé scratches an itch for the sort of "classic" artist we know and love and she's so reverent in both the way she honours them and continues their legacy by referencing them, that she is benefiting from being the only one of her (and their kind) around (for the most part... Bruno kinda gives that for people too which is why he has fans of all ages).

But beyond that, I think she just has been more committed to legacy building in the 20+ years mark of her career.

Will she go on tour?

I know little monsters can be terrible, and I'm not a huge gaga fanatic, but it seems weird that we call her Fad as if she's not undeniably talented, cool and successful. Anyway, she herself has claimed on multiple channels that a second collaboration with Beyonce could be coming quite soon, so I consider this a fair rumour for her potential appearance on an upcoming Bey project. Whether or not that pleases you is another story.

Rosalia was rumoured to have collaborated with Beyonce since 2021, and was in the original rumoured collaborator list for Renaissance.

There was also a Deuxmoi blind that alleged a Tina sample/feature would be on Act III, which was the outlet that first reported on the Dolly collab.

I need more echoville crumbs ugh

Beyoncé going sci-fi for these visuals is gonna be insane

When SADE is a feature on act iii.

Wheeeeeew, my ears will explode from the sheer euphoria.

Imagine hearing a DJ play the opening snares on Cuff It in the club then switch to Sorry

she has been teasing that collab for years, if it's happening it would not be on a beyoncé album and definitely not teased years in advance by somebody else than bey

the rosalia collab has been rumored long before 2021, at least since 2018

and deuxmoi isn't reputable when it comes to bey. they get it right once every ten tries, it's like believing rumors from The Sun. they were also not the first to report on dolly's CC involvement considering dolly herself teased the jolene cover during covid

I keep asking myself the same.

One thing I love about Bey (and occasionally find frustrating) is that she always makes it "look" like whatever she's doing was "the plan" all along....even if it wasn't

There were murmurs for a LONG time of her doing the Sphere. So much so that I can't be convinced that it wasn't supposed to be what she did in place of CCT.

Yes, she said she'd been planning CCT for a while, but we saw on RWT movie that sis literally has various stage concepts at the ready. and we hear endless talk of her putting holds on venues, some of which come to fruition, some don't.

In short, I feel like her ish is way more modular than folk think. Act III's live "thing" could easily be the long-rumored Vegas residency or a super international stadium run comprised of mostly places she's neglected, a one off Homecoming-like show that's live-streamed, a unique concept like TS' scrapped Lover Fest East / Lover Fest West angle. Could be anything, which, in and of itself, is pretty exciting.

We don't know for certain if Bey will be at the grammys but it's funny how certain bey stans on twitter saying they don't see the importance of her going this year when they know act 3 is coming out this year. This is also the year of her being at the met gala. The hive members changed and I don't like it lmfao

Her going or not going to the Grammy's is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Not like she is gonna announce that her lead single is out now on all digital platforms during a category announcement/presentation.
