Justin Timberlake was announced in late October, The Weeknd in mid-November, and Coldplay as late as the beginning of December. Maroon 5 was announced three weeks before the performance.

There was that rumor of a Hole cover / sample and I wouldn't be mad at that. Also interested to see if Courtney Love accepts it in stride or freaks the **** out

Some of you are absolute freaks for the way you talk about her sons, as if you care more about her or know more than they do. They were alienated from her - some of it her own doing, but mostly their parasitic father and grandfather. They were young children poisoned by others and who were fearful of a mother who went through struggles they didn't understand. If they're rebuilding their relationship, that's something to celebrate. You can't make a stan war out of a mother and her sons. Grow up.

Even if people ***** and moan about her doing the Super Bowl again, they'll all be transfixed on the TV while she's on stage. It's all fake controversy that will be forgotten in a week

Have a blessed day

I respect your dedication to the truth, but there's no sense arguing with these people. Facts don't matter to them. It's about feeding their inner misery and believing the worst of someone simply because they don't like them. They'd rather this woman have been raped simply to confirm their preexisting bias. It's ****** up. I weirdly feel bad for this woman. I think it's obvious she's unwell and was used as a pawn.

Speaking of which, some Hive were theorizing that she never released the 4K B'Day videos because "y'all ruined her birthday by making fun of those boxes because you're ungrateful." Mental illness!

I'll concede we don't know all the facts, but it's not uncommon for an older relative (especially one of means) to see the best side of someone. It's by design. He probably acted like a saintly nephew to her face, and then if anyone dared raise concerns, she'd (truthfully, in her eyes) defend his character and refuse to hear it.

Funnily enough, the mistake was wearing the sheer skirt with the sweater. I don't love the sweater by any means, but they could've made it work. This isn't one of those looks you can excuse away with "Oh, you just don't understand high fashion!" No, it looks terrible that way

For what it's worth, Chelsea Handler denies this. https://deadline.com/2026/09/chelsea-handler-denies-firing-tour-opener-free-palestine-1237107018/ I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, but the opener is now walking it back a bit. She's saying her reps told her they "thought that was why," but she never actually heard that from Chelsea or her team.

I think the act iii magazine cover will be https://ee72.com/ The next issue is Winter 26 in December. Spring 27 will be in early March.

This Facebook mom graphic has done more damage to your point than any of the hateful things you've said in this thread

I've had friends get mad at other friends for not posting about Palestine, even when the person who didn't post rarely uses social media and has a private account with fewer than 500 followers. The reality is that many people dress themselves up in the cause because it gives them a pedestal from which to look down on others. You need only look at the deserved but outsized lashings Pink and Ed Sheeran are getting while Robert Kraft and his vile, genocidal billionaire cohorts continue to live their lives free of consequence. Beyoncé should speak up, and I really wish she would. But at this point, even if she does mention it on act iii, people who don't like her will say "Too little, too late, co-opting the cause," etc etc. Stans will respond by saying, "SHE ONLY SPEAKS THROUGH HER MUSIC; IT WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG. Y'ALL ARE NEVER HAPPY" And we'll go round and round in the culture wars while very little actionable change is done to help the people of Palestine.

Did they forget last Friday or something?

I hate to be this person, but did anyone notice this backdrop that was prominently featured in one of the shots celebrating B'Day? The clock is stopped on 3:12. March 12 2027 is a Friday. If you search the backdrop itself, it brings up articles about punk and post punk in the 70s and 80s. Then there's this from the Tiffany and Co ad years ago. It says March 26, which is also a Friday. Could Spatial Shift have something to do with the visuals? Maybe they release March 26, two weeks after act iii. I don't browse as much as I used to, so if you've already discussed this...
