    The world’s obsession with White Mediocrity is so crazy. Taylor of legends like Michael & Bey is crazy! Bieber I can understand the craze of him
    Back then but Taylor is so confusing. She had good catchy songs but there is nothing that screams icon or legend

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 18, 2023

      You actually understand BEIBER tho? I need a hit of whatever you’re smoking. Both are equally 🗑. OVERRATED = SWIFT. 💯

      • FLOPAISSANCE December 19, 2023

        LMAO AND BOTH OUTGROSSING THAT OVERRATED FLOP YOU WORSHIP LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣

      • Taylorism December 22, 2023

        Medio..whaaat? Flopyonce needs 8 musicians to write one song. Remember that!

    • Niko December 18, 2023

      Yeah, was just thinking the same thing. So overrated. Shes a singer/songwriter but not a concert legend. So basic.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 18, 2023

      Taylor does have a few good songs amidst the MID Albums but they do not warrant her HUGE numbers, nor does the Talent or lack thereof which suggest WHITE PRIVILEGE. 💯

      • FLOPAISSANCE December 19, 2023

        LMAO YALL LOVE PLAYING THAT RACE CARD EVERY TIME TAYLOR WASHES THAT ROACH LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 19, 2023

        Um… 🐝

        I think Its time first you to BOW DOWN 👑

        Most Weeks at No. 1 on Hot 100:
        •92, Mariah Carey
        •60, Beyoncé
        •60, Rihanna
        •59, The Beatles
        •56, Drake
        •50, Boyz II Men

        •34, Taylor Swift

      • Taylorism December 22, 2023

        Just because Taylor doesnt scream like a cat ran over my a lawn mower doesnt mean she cant sing…..

        Fix your brain!

  2. Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 18, 2023

    The ERRORS tour Film would have FLOPPED even harder than Renaissance tour film if it was released on that same day. Renaissance tour film tickets cost more than the ERRORS too. 💯 🐝

    • Gworl Bye December 19, 2023

      Excuses, excuses.

  3. Annual December 18, 2023

    Only the QUEEN

  4. Tre December 18, 2023

    Beyonce is such a damn flop smh even Nicki doing better

    • Yea right December 18, 2023

      Doing better in what?

  5. Anne December 19, 2023

    Top 5 is good considering her music is not crossover. She’s proving that she can still garner success without compromising her artistic freedom.

    • yup! December 19, 2023

      Without having to be original. If she did a tribute show of all the artists and creatives she’s stolen from, she would still have a 3 hour concert lol

  6. KAREN December 19, 2023

    Go B! FÜCK Taylor Swift 😊

  7. Yo December 19, 2023

    Massive second week drop for the movie. Definitely expected atleast double this since how everyone gushes over beyonce. Overseas is even worse

    • Tullylah December 19, 2023

      That’s what I’m saying the numbers don’t match the hype at ALLLL. And this proves it

  8. yup! December 19, 2023

    Michael is truly the GOAT. These people are competing with a posthumous behind the scenes production 😆 Not even him in his prime.

    • Gworl Bye December 19, 2023

      That part. They want this heffa in Michael’s league SO bad, she’s barely Jermaine level lol 😂

  9. Divab December 19, 2023

    Let’s keep it 100, we all know Beyoncé is that person who does not get her rightly flowers, that’s why Taylor gave it to her, Adele gave it to her, Madonna , Dianna Ross and other artists did/have. With all the haters that wish to see Beyoncé not succeed in her talented craft is crazy because she is doing just that above and beyond other artists, she is setting the bar higher even for herself and the industry can’t handle it, that’s why she doesn’t get her just do. Good for you Beyoncé, sooner not later , the industry will appreciate and recognize true talent and give you you rightly deserve flower 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

    For all the mess the beyhive talks, they can’t even be bothered to go see a movie. I went the first Sunday night and there were ten people in the theatre with me. Tell me how you’re ratchet enough to attack strangers for the queen but won’t put your money where your mouth is.

    • Keith December 19, 2023

      @Curt: THIS is my issue. When it comes to supporting her product (except concerts), the Beyhive STAY failing their “favorite” artist…I saw the movie in IMAX the first night and my venue was perhaps a third full. Sad…for all that talking on social media they do.

  11. Luis ordoñez December 19, 2023

    You really love Beyonce so much that you are willing to twist the story And try to make it like this movie is a success story. SMH

    • Gworl Bye December 19, 2023

      Exactly, anybody else would get raked across the coals for bombing a movie at $30 million total global sales smh.

  12. FLOPAISSANCE December 19, 2023

    TGJ should have listed the whole top ten, Beyonce beat people like Madonna (Truth or Dare), Katy Perry, Jonas Brothers, and One Direction. Again, top 5 is good imo.
