I have to wait a whole year to put this on our tree, damn 😭

Hey guys ! I'm really now getting into Beyoncé and if she does tour will Defo try and secure tickets. I just wondered how her tours and set lists work. Can you normally predict what she'll perform based on the first few performances or is it random? And does she perform her older songs or is just the odd show. Also from what i see on YouTube and the renaissance film her tours are quite interactive and she makes the crowd feel quite involved which is dope! But is that always the case? Will love to find out anything else you'd think would be good to know/ expect from her shows

Ta x

I know it’s early, but I want to start planning outfits in case Beyoncé announces a tour. Plz drop recommendations of places that have good/unique concert clothes

I know we’re still on Beyonce Bowl time, but can we take a moment to appreciate how good Homecoming was? Who else could give us visuals and behind the scenes footage like that? Thinking anybody can even compete with Beyonce is just silly. Bey’s performance was so clean she literally edited two different nights together flawlessly. The only reason you knew it was from both nights was because of the costume and hair changes (she put that hair in a ponytail the second night). Nobody but Bey could get a hundred musicians/dancers/background singers in formation like that. And this was for a two night show.

TLDR: Ain’t nobody coming close to the Queen 🐝🐝

Yesterday I was telling my friends how much I think Beyoncé is still a very underrated artist and they quickly shot back saying "how can you say that? she's super successful, awards, charts, sales, sold-out tours, etc..."

Sigh...

Yeah, when you consider numbers, Beyoncé IS really successful. When you consider data, you can easily compare Beyoncé's success with her peers, draw charts, pizza graphs and so on... But I feel she still does not get enough credit for being the Creative Artist she is.

Beyoncé's album crafting skills are simply on another level. The way she's been able to absorb tons of references, lyrics, production, demos, samples and put out such cohesive pieces of art is something that rarely appears into the conversation.

From DC to CC, this is a woman who's been perfecting her music-making craft from such a young age, always embracing every opportunity to get more and more involved in the process and learning how to write, record and produce music herself.

The run from Beyoncé, Lemonade, The Gift, Renaissance and Cowboy Carter has shown, each with their own scope and intention, how Beyoncé has mastered the album-making art: from fusing different songs into a single song to layering stacks of vocals to echoing familiar lyrics and creating a relatable universe within the album to crafting the most perfect interludes, her albums are certainly not a collection of singles ready to burn on the radio.

Beyoncé is a real Visionary. She's able to see what people cannot see yet, connect dots that most people wouldn't and be brave and bold enough to go all the way with her vision, defying preset rules and expectations.

I really hope we can get more insights into the making of this trilogy one day. For a casual listener, Beyoncé might seem like she's jumping from genre to genre every now and then, but we know she's actually been crafting THREE ALBUMS AT THE SAME TIME (potentially with interconnecting visuals). That's simply unheard in the pop world and I hope more people can appreciate that level of artistry beyond numbers one day.

“Beyoncé rises to No. 1 on a U.K. chart this week, as her Cowboy Carter set returns to the summit on the Official Americana list. The project is her first to rule the ranking of the bestselling full-lengths in the Americana genre, though this frame is not the first time that the popular title has led the charge.”

“Cowboy Carter has now spent six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Official Americana chart. It debuted in that position when it was new, in spring 2024. It then held in first place for five consecutive turns before finally stepping down from the throne.”

I know we’ve had some questions about podcasts and I was wondering if anyone else is listening to This Ain’t Texas (I did a search on the sub and didn’t see anything, sorry if I missed it). There are only four episodes so far, but the idea is looking into CC as the Grammys approach. So far it’s not so much about the Grammys, I know that’s a touchy subject here. I’ve only listened to the first episode, which gives the basic groundwork for Beyoncé’s career until this point. The host, Peter Rosenberg is a huge fan and it’s been amazing to hear him gush about Bey.

I dont know if this theory has been posted before, but i'd like to share my thoughts!

So as yall know there's three songs that have that Beep sound at the end, which are Blackbiird, Sweet Honey Buckiin and Amen. These songs are tracks 2, 26 and 27.

My theory is that this is a hint on the drop of act iii being on 02-26-2027!

What do yall think? 👀

Edit:

Another reason why I think its the Act 3 date:

The numbers 2 26 27 can definitely be a date. Renaissance (one word) dropped in 2022. Cowboy Carter (two words) in 2024 which is II years later. 2027 would be III years later (+three word album title?). Coincidence?? I think NOT! 😂

Beyonce has an announcement to make on the 14th of this month. Some people are predicting for it to be a tour announcement but others are saying that she is releasing Act III. I have also heard other predictions people were saying that she may release a music video for one of her songs on Cowboy Carter (which I think would be amazing since we haven’t gotten a music video from Beyonce in years and her videos tend to be amazing). I just want to see what other people think it may be.

I heard a while ago that Beyonce already has a bunch of songs that she recorded many years ago which is actually how we got Cowboy Carter (if you listen to the lyrics in 16 Carriages you can definitely tell she recorded the song a few years ago). So honestly even though Cowboy Carter was just released last year I think there could be a chance that we could get another album this year because Beyonce already has a bunch of songs recorded.

I see people predicting that Act III will be a more rock styled album sort of like Michael Jackson or Prince. I do think a rock album would be cool especially if she gives it that Beyonce touch like she did with Cowboy Carter. However secretly I am really hoping for it to be a more RnB styled album, I feel like Beyoncé’s vocals really shine in her RnB songs which I can really appreciate. However whatever genre Beyonce decides to go with I know it will be great. When I first heard that Beyonce was releasing a country album last year I genuinely wasn’t excited. I have never actually liked country music however I am a huge fan of Beyonce so of course I gave the album a thorough listen. I honestly really enjoyed the album it was creative, unique and very artistic. I honestly wouldn’t even call it a country album while some songs on the album do sound a little bit country like Jolene and Most Wanted the way Beyonce styles her vocals it’s more like country and RnB merged together which I like.

I did it.

It makes me physically upset that the rwt didn’t come here, this album absolutely changed my life and changed me as a person and words really can’t describe how deeply I feel for this album. If a cc tour is announced on the 14th, is it possible that if bey comes down under that she might perform some renaissance songs? The last time she was here was October 2014 during the ‘I am… world tour’ and I feel like we should be on her radar more, considering Sydney and Melbourne are 2 of her top 5 cities on Spotify. What’s the probability of her playing renaissance on a ccwt? My life won’t be complete until I see Virgos groove live

This would be her 5th time performing at the rodeo and in the anniversary month of CC.

Finally got around to watching the Glastonbury headline performance and I am BLOWN away. Dare I say it has some of her best vocal highlights ever. I can’t believe I missed out on watching this performance for so long!

Anyone else as moved by this performance as I am?

For anyone here in the U.S. you probably heard the other day of the first death to bird flu. Lot’s of people have been getting sick lately since around Christmas and most are really bad. It could potentially be bird flu.

So with the news of that death and the announcement of something big from Beyoncé next week, I think she’s postponing the tour. (If there was one) and giving us something else big. Act 3?, visuals? More merch? Who knows. But what do y’all think? Have y’all been following closely with this virus?

P.S It’s funny to see y’all’s theories for 1.14. They’ve been so outrageous lately and a few sane ones too lol

just posting this bc i haven't really seen anybody bring it up yet but THEE renaissance pose seems to be continuing into the cowboy carter era (do what you will with that info)

this pose has basically become a trademark of the previous renaissance era, guess it will be of the whole trilogy at large for whatever reason

analysis-wise, i like the hypothesis that it's meant to evoke crown imagery

i just thought it was cool (and im only mentioning it now because i thought i misremembered from watching it live on netflix but no it did happen, just not in the ya ya intro as I initially recalled)

I was relistening to Dangerously in Love this afternoon and was struck by how young Beyoncé sounds on the album! As part of the OG Beyhive, the nostalgia it brings me is unmatched. 🥹 I was 10 when it came out, and I’ve never stopped listening to it. Now, in my 30s, I appreciate The Closer I Get to You—her duet with Luther Vandross—on a whole new level. It’s such a grown woman song, even for her at just 22.

That got me thinking: how incredible would it be to hear this entire album re-recorded in her current voice? With all her warmth, experience, and maturity, it would be absolutely stunning. I get chills just imagining it. When she performed Dangerously in Love during Renaissance, I absolutely melted!

Y’all, I have absolutely no idea what I’m in for but I am excited. Has anybody seen anything like this before?

People online have been speculating about whether the CC visuals lead into the Renaissance visuals. In the Verizon Super Bowl commercial, we see her dance out of a red house and it looks similar to the house she appears to walk towards in the Renaissance visual teaser.

What could this mean? Do you believe that these similarities are tied to the overall visuals?

It’s in Brooklyn. At a church. Is anyone going? I’m buying tickets. Has anyone been to one of these shows?

Irreplaceable is very forgotten as one of Beyoncé hits I hear about Deja vu more often than irreplaceable.

I also think irreplaceable is very good, I enjoy it a lot more than rtw, single ladies, bms, it’s a very good song does it represent b’day in full no. But it still sounds like it.

Irreplaceable is actually better than majority of the acoustic side of IAM and can we talk about how b’day does the split album concept better

I saw this on twitter and my delusional ass is gagging. What do y'all think? Are the visuals actually coming??? A Movie??? 😱😭 What's going awnnnnn

Don’t mind me just reminiscing over the days when it wasn’t a thing to try and figure out what her next move/ project would be just so you could be the first to break it or have a social media moment 🤭 let’s just wait and see. I also must admit the more people post their theories and wanting the day to get here the closer we get to inauguration day, a day I want to take as long as possible to get here. 🤠 🐎 🪩🎸
