Q: I connected with Lemonade and I almost passed out when I saw Homecoming. You brought it and made me want to stand up and scream your name!! What’s up with the people who give out the awards? Were you disappointed not winning? Because, you know, you already won with me – via Instagram
BEYONCÉ: ?? I began to search for deeper meaning when life began to teach me lessons I didn’t know I needed. Success looks different to me now. I learned that all pain and loss is in fact a gift. Having miscarriages taught me that I had to mother myself before I could be a mother to someone else. Then I had Blue, and the quest for my purpose became so much deeper. I died and was reborn in my relationship, and the quest for self became even stronger. It’s difficult for me to go backwards. Being ‘number one’ was no longer my priority. My true win is creating art and a legacy that will live far beyond me. That’s fulfilling.

Q: Where Is The Formation Tour DVD?Years ago, I asked Prince to record my rehearsal with him for our Grammys performance. He said, ‘You don’t need to record that. You own that in your mind.’ Haaaaaaa! Prince always knew best! So, you can always watch the Formation World Tour in your mind; you own that! ?
Q: What is your work process like? Where do you start? Where do you get your ideas? – via email
BEYONCÉ: With new projects, I get my team together for a prayer. I make sure we are all clear on the intention and what the deeper meaning is. I do my best, and I try to push everyone around me to do the same. I eventually give everything I have. When it’s released to the world, I let it go because it is no longer mine.

Q: After 25 years in the game, how do you not lose yourself? – via email
BEYONCÉ: The predictable rock star DNA is a myth. I believe you don’t have to accept dysfunction to be successful. This is not to say that I have not struggled. I have the same pain that life brings to everyone else. I try to shift the stigma that says with fame there has to be drama. It is how you relate to your hardships and use that to evolve. And I try to keep real ones around me.

For some reason her expression in these covers isn’t doing it for me
Thats because she’s not a fashion Icon, she just thinks she is. Big difference lol.
I like her hair style here. Im going to get my hair done like Bey. Just sew in some weave braids. Chris Brown had the same style earlier this year with shorter weave braids.
Rihanna did this five years ago hon.
And? What does that have to do with me? I like Rihanna but its hard to keep Up or remember her ever changing hairstyles
She tries too damn hard to be deep.
Normani take note.
Beyonce is on the cover of a magazine cause she has something to promote
Normani u have been on the cover of 3 different magazines and u had nothing to promote. No new song, no new collab, no new video, nothing.
Instead all u talked about in the magazines was how u got stamp of approval from beyonce and how ur the new beyonce.
And Camila has an album out and ZERO magazine covers. Your point? Also, your fave isn’t even #1 on the albums chart, and has no songs in the top 20. Embarrassing.
My faves was on time magazine.
Romance is still the number one album world wide
Romance hit number one in 50 countries on itunes
I dont think u need me to list all the achievements of this album.
Everybody is releasing something, except normani who is comfortable being a personality/ model.
And by the way, dancing with a stranger, is not normani song
Sam Smith and normani were booked to perform at the jingle ball event and normani added dancing with a stranger to her set list, sam Smith team told her to remove it cause sam smith wanted to perform it.
That’s why normani looked upset and unfocused during her performance
?????????????
Camila is the number one female album on the charts. She has been in the top 20 most of this year. Queen Canils is slaying your favs and u mad about it ???????
Fastest female albums in history to reach #1 on US iTunes:
1. thank u, next (5 mins)
2. reputation (6 mins)
3. Queen (6 mins)
4. Sweetener (8 mins)
5. WWAFA,WDWG? (10 mins)
6. Witness (10 mins)
7. Camila (11 mins)
8. #Romance (14 mins)
Ariana and Camila charting twice ??
Lol girl stop, camila is flopping, being ended by a Disney soundtrack. Denial isn’t cute hon.
Sis Camila is the number 1 female album. U tried it ????????
Sis, tinashe and beyonce were all the #1 female albums. You tried and failed sis.
No shade, but didn’t Rihanna do these hairstyles during her anti era? Just a tad shorter length?
She did but Camila would look better in this style. Beyonve looks lifeless and her team writing ✍️ statements to make her sound deep does not correlate with the immature lyrics in her songs. I dont find Formation, Sorry, Blow, Partition, etc to be deep
camila who?
Grammy Award winning songstress Camila Cabello.
– 5th Harmony could never get a grammy
-Normani could never get a hit song or a grammy. She is a new TinashaFLOP.
I’ll repeat the question, camila who?
LATIN Grammy winner, b*tch. Let’s not act like she won a REAL Grammy.
Glad you’ve stop arguing with me.
Go argue with the Clarkson troll
????
the whole interview was LIFE! Love her humor! She is just the ultimate! https://youtu.be/TzyYbtwtKgc
Hot ass mess lmao, I had forgotten all about ivy park and adidas. *laughs in Fenty
loved the interview ans the pics
She has that special ability to make even Versace look like a trash bag on her body
STREAM THE FROZEN 2 SOUNDTRACK FOR CLEAR SKIN AND LOW CHOLESTEROL!
She’s trying to hard to be deep. She’s fat and basic as usual.
sus want some of that bad girl rih money…. not sure if she has IT tho
Mrs. Beyoncé about to drop soon.
Idk! Reading her responses to questions in interviews is so hard to believe that she’d respond like that. I know we really don’t know her but I just can’t imagine it. ? “Get off my ovaries” and “giving zero f****” ? lol. Ok Bey…??
Get it B. She is in her own lane like everybody else, stop comparing it’s no need to do that. Everybody got they own success. Let’s grow up here.
Absolutely dead at the formation tour answer. LOL!
