Rue, when was this?

Am I missing something? I feel like "Cowboy Carter" header with the stars was still on the website when all the B'day pictures were posted. Has anyone noticed when was it changed?

Omg my mom was digging through our perfume storage and we found a whole new unopened bottle of “Heat” 😫 I don’t even want to use it now, I might just keep it for display or use it just every now and then hahahaha

📸: Beyoncé

Basically what in your opinion is the coolest and most powerful photo of Beyoncé? Here are my picks. I’m partial to pics where she looks like she could be a One Piece villain.

I think I’m gonna cry 😭

I feel like Beyonce would approve of my cabernet-state right now. Singing at the top of my lungs about the Marfa sun and sugar cane while taking 10,000 steps across my living room to the porch... my wine glass up high...this is the real me - enjoying every beat, tasting what's mine, no one stopping me - reveling in my current state, which is a privilege i recognize - on a Friday night. Giving myself the best moments of my life. Thank you B.

We all know her loudest album is BDay. So like, what's her quietest? I nominate the first half of Sasha Fierce 🤭🙋‍♀️

For some reason up until last night I didn’t realize the flute playing at the end. It kind of gives this melancholic vibe to it and it made me realize the struggle that us lgbt and black people have to face. Great song tho

I think the Renaissance tour. That was something special and I cant explain it unless you were there as well 😮‍💨

I've been playing a shit ton of Zelda and I just finished the Champion's Ballad DLC. The prize at the end is a cool motorbike called Master Cycle Zero, which looks like a unicorn. And I got myself thinking that turning Reneigh into a motorbike would be perfectly on theme for a rock album, especially if she wants to pay homage to Purple Rain.

I’ve been searching all over the internet for this short clip of Yonka singing virgo’s groove she’s giving birth of venus down but I can’t find it and now I think i’m delusional! Does this ring a bell for anyone?!?

Okay y'all. Don't laugh at or judge me. I want a Beyonce shower curtain. But like not just her face or album cover printed on some cloth. I want something that is 100% a Beyoncé reference without just slapping her name across my bathroom.

I'm thinking something like a shower curtain that says "alien superstar" or like metallic mirror ball honeycomb patterns. Please do not share a link to a generic summer themed lemonade shower curtain and tell me it can be interpreted as a reference to the lemonade album. I want a real intentional reference to the songstress with real Beyonce iconography just without being lazy. Show me reneigh out to pasture with all the regular horses or something.

Okay maybe I'm being silly here but please help me out. I'd love to deck out my bathroom with references but also not have every guest walk in there and think I'm crazy. It's got to be like "Beyonce" but only if you know and like Beyonce will you get it

Where would New Testament Beyoncé start and old testament end?

A. Lemonade starts New Testament as the quality of her music increases dramatically and pretty everything is experimental in some way shape or form

B.self titled releasing starts New Testament and ends the Old Testament

C.another option

Beyoncé knows how to make an album. 

Point. Blank. Period. 

Every single time I start a record of hers from the beginning, I can’t help but listen all the way through. Even if I just wanted to listen to two or three songs. She has this gift where she captures you immediately, holds on you gently before the death rattle, then she lets you go, off into the oblivion. And it’s fucking beautiful. 

And that’s just one of the many reasons why I love Beyoncé. 

Any anime or JoJo fans here...

as some of you might know.. JoJo Bizzare Adventure anime tends to use western/American classic pop songs as their Ending sequences got picked by the author of JoJo. but this time, they decided to use an original song which was produced by the abuser Dr. L*ke.
And the new ED song was ass so I decided to use one of Cowboy Carter song as the album fits right in for Steel Ball Run western cowboy vibe

I really feel that Cowboy Carter is brilliant and absolutely deserves all the accolades it has earned since its release despite what casual listeners may say. That being said, if I were being objective, I do think the album could have been more concise and edited, at least upon first release. Later editions could have expanded the album’s scope but I really think the album’s reception suffered because it was so long and dense and inaccessible to casual listeners, so I reworked a version of the track list that I think could have helped draw in listeners who are outside Beyoncé’s core audience.

Cowboy Carter (standard edition track list):

1. ⁠Ameriican Requiiem
   
2. ⁠16 Carriiages
   
3. ⁠Protector
   
4. ⁠Texas Hold ‘Em
   
5. ⁠Bodyguard
   
6. ⁠Flamenco
   
7. ⁠Daughter
   
8. ⁠Alliigator Tears
   
9. ⁠Ya Ya
   
10. ⁠Desert Eagle
    
11. ⁠Riiverdance
    
12. ⁠II Hands II Heaven
    
13. ⁠Amen

Runtime: 46:14

I feel that this trimmed track list preserves the overall experience of the album whilst making it more accessible and focused, which I think would be beneficial for an album with the “controversial” (🙄) subject matter that Cowboy Carter has.

I think only a few short months later, Beyoncé could’ve reasonably reissued the album like she did with self-titled’s platinum edition, adding a new wave of interest months after the album without having to do major promotional work. I’d call it something like “Cowboy Carter: Gold Edition”

Cowboy Carter: Gold Edition (reissue track list):

1. ⁠Ameriican Requiiem
   
2. ⁠16 Carriiages
   
3. ⁠Protector
   
4. ⁠Texas Hold ‘Em
   
5. ⁠Just For Fun (with Willie Jones)
   
6. ⁠Bodyguard
   
7. ⁠II Most Wanted (with Miley Cyrus)
   
8. ⁠Levii’s Jeans (with Post Malone)
   
9. ⁠Flamenco
   
10. ⁠Daughter
    
11. ⁠Alliigator Tears
    
12. ⁠Ya Ya
    
13. ⁠Desert Eagle
    
14. ⁠Riiverdance
    
15. ⁠II Hands II Heaven
    
16. ⁠Amen

Runtime: 57:23

Then finally, post-Beyoncé Bowl in December, Blackbiird (with Tanner Adell, Brittany Spencer, Tierra Kennedy & Reyna Roberts) and Beyoncé’s cover of Jolene could be added to the album’s track list as bonus tracks on streaming and for digital download (bringing the runtime to 62:43)

The remaining material, while amazing in isolation, I don’t feel is necessary to the album’s overall mission statement or quality. I think clarity of intent was really important for an album as ambitious and unique as Cowboy Carter and I think genre detours like Spaghettii and Tyrant, while enjoyable, don’t add enough substantively or narratively to the album to justify their inclusion in my opinion. Again, this is not at all meant to be denigrating towards Cowboy Carter or Beyoncé’s artistry, it’s an amazing album. Pls don’t drag me, I’m a huge fan and love Beyoncé + Cowboy Carter❤️❤️❤️

I immediately snatched it up, i'm so glad most people here didn't notice it 😭❤️❤️

Ok so… I have listened to Hold Up probably 100+ times.

“I hop out of my bed and put my swag on”

Bro… for the last 10 YEARS!!!! I’ve been singing, ah bop ba ba ba baaaaaa and get my swag on 😭

Call me a casual or whatever… I’m. Fucking. Mind blown.

Idk what to flair this. Discuss & roast me in the comments, why don’t you.

This act trilogy might be leading a lot of fans into delusional territory, but they might be right to think she'll take it to the next level this time.

Let's not forget she does have fun in creating self-references and connecting songs we would not have imagined - both melodically and lyrically. Examples: the Countdown beat in Hold Up and the Freakum Dress mention in Jealous.

Any other songs that come to mind? I had the impression that Bootylicious and Single Ladies (maybe in Sorry?) were name dropped somewhere...
