Beyonce interviews and quotes are few and far between these days, as the megastar has made it routine to let her art do the talking.
However, in a rare move, the singer has opened up about the groundbreaking success of her latest album ‘Cowboy Carter’ and toasted the impact it’s having on the Black Country acts featured – especially Shaboozey, whose hit smash ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ has dominated the charts.
More on Queen Bey’s surprise statement below…
Sharing her mindset at this stage of her career and reflecting on the success of the chart-topping mega-selling ‘Cowboy Carter,’ Beyonce told The Hollywood Reporter:
“There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me. Once you have challenged yourself and 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 and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album.”
She continued:
“When you are breaking down barriers, not everyone is ready and open for a shift. 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.”
More power to her!
I just don’t get the hype. Not this album or the last one. Not for me.
LMAOOO BYTCH PLEASE, JUST SAY YOURE EMBARRASSED BY THAT SMACKDOWN TAYLOR JUST GAVE THAT FLOPBOY SHYT, DONT ACT LIKE YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT SALES WHEN YOUR SHYT FLOPS, SHE REALLY TRIED IT LMAOOOOO 😂🤣😂🤣🤡🤡🤡
27 years in the game and WHITE PRIVILEGE in human form (Trailer Stiff) is your ONLY competition?
I say that’s a WIN.
400K first week is MASSIVE in any climate, do you know how few black female Entertainers have reached or surpassed 400k first week in music History? Mariah only did it twice.
Beyonce’s 4th album DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE sold 5.1 million in the US. That’s more than any Aaliyah album and almost 2x more than Rihanna’s highest seller which was RE RELEASED 😆 😆 🤣
All rih has over bey is SINGLES oriented.
Bey beats rih in the ALBUMS, TOURS, FILM, & AWARDS department. 😆 🤣 😂
To this day Rihanna doesn’t even have 1 critically acclaimed album, Beyoncé has 4 in a row, or 1 album that won 4 or more grammys… Beyoncé has 3.
Rihanna Wins First-Ever ‘Icon Award’ at American Music Awards
AND???… 😆 🤣 😂
BEYONCE won the first ever ARTIST OF THE MILENIUM AWARD at the Billboard music awards. & they don’t give that award out ANNUALLY either.
They gave RIHANNA the First-Ever ‘Icon Award’ and had Jay-Z give it to her
AGAIN, AND???… 😆 🤣 😂
BEYONCE won the first ever ARTIST OF THE MILENIUM AWARD at the Billboard music awards. & Had the NEXT female winner BRITNEY SPEARS give it to her.
ARTIST OF THE MILENIUM AWARD >>>>>>> RANDOM ICON AWARD 😆 🤣 😂 🏆
It wasn’t good. The last one wasn’t either. Beyonce is just a great hypnotist. That’s all.
Greatest DANCERS in music History:
1. Michael jackson
2. Omarion
3. Usher
4. Chris Brown
5. Normani
6. Ciara
7. Janet Jackson
8. Beyonce
9. Shakira
10. Jennifer Lopez
(Skill, stamina, & ability)
Omarion 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This list was based off who would win In a DANCE BATTLE given the exact same CHOREOGRAPHY and I am 1000% sure O would beat Usher and Chris brown. Have you seen O’s 2005 BET AWARDS performance? He is more Smooth, flexible asf and His precision is symmetrical & hes completely on point dance wise and energy wise.
This list isn’t “WHOS BETTER PERFORMER ” It’s “WHOS BEST DANCER)
Aaliyah before all of them
Aaliyah would be lucky to beat Justin timberlake & britney spears somewhere in the top 25. 😆 🤣 😂
Aaliyah’s movements was natural not like robot she is best dancer in history
Rum and coke is the PERFECT name for you 😆 🤣 😂
Beyonce dancing Is dooty always has been. I remember she was working with a dancer on the set of Baby Boy I believe Jamaica, and she was speaking about how challenging it was and mentioning she’s learning to dance. She was never on beat! Either under or over it lmao. She’s not on the list at all for me.
Beyoncé 2009 SINGLE LADIES performance along with the video proves that Beyoncé’ is an ELITE dancer…
Especially at the VMAS, she was out dancing lead dancer ASHLEY EVERETT for the first and only time since they began dancing together .
@Diabetes, as a huge fan of Chris, even CHRIS himself recently said nobody was messing with Omarion back then. But yes, O is a better “BATTLE” dancer. As you said overall chris is the better dancer in general but just like PAC was a better rapper than freestyler, Chris is a better performer than impromptu dancer. me personally I think Lil Kida cant be touched
YES indeed, and can you point me to the video where CHRIS SAID THAT???!!!
I’m glad he acknowledged it. I’m not even necessarily a O fan (tho I do love his voice way more than Chris and usher) he was a BEAST and danced on a Jabbawockeez lvl unlike Chris or Usher.
I do believe Chris can outdance Omarion TODAY tho, since O strikes me as being WAY PAST his prime, I’m sure he’s rusty.
Nvm, I found the video.
please it’s worth it … especially this album it wasn’t given llenough traction .., she sang well knows she should’ve pushed this album to bigger heights, more airplay, more apple bundles, more pop ups and meets and greets and videos, the good ol’ time square ads for months , an apple deal that she forwent because of tidal, this lady would’ve been looking at 3x platinum in three weeks for real .
The album is really good it’s the best album this year, especially looking at what the girls ( and boys) have to offer
Its hot 🗑
Who does she think she is Rihanna
This is what Normani thinks she’s giving lol
LMAOOO BYTCH PLEASE, JUST SAY YOURE EMBARRASSED BY THAT SMACKDOWN TAYLOR JUST GAVE THAT FLOPBOY SHYT, DONT ACT LIKE YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT SALES WHEN YOUR SHYT FLOPS, SHE REALLY TRIED IT LMAOOOOO 😂🤣😂🤣🤡🤡🤡
400k & 1 BILLION+ STREAMS with NO PROMO or VISUALS is definitely a win. Has Rihanna EVER???? 😆 🤣 😂
Rihanna and Taylor report pure sales.
Sir! Rihanna’s album Anti is still on the charts 10 years after it’s release. 1 billions streams doesn’t mean s***! Taylor’s fans actually bought her album 1 million sold within it’s first week!
@FLOPBOY PLEASE
When are you gonna have that same FLOP ENERGY for Yur fav NORMANI???? I here FlopOfMine is expecting to debut 9k SPS 😆 🤣 😂
WE ARE DONE WITH THIS WHITE WOMAN
She started to bleach her b hole and just couldn’t stop.
Much respect for Bey but the interview quotes sound like statements written by a PR person, surely she doesn’t actually talk in paragraphs like that IRL.
