🚨 Beyoncé comenta sobre os looks que voltou a usar para celebrar os 20 anos do B’DAY e revela seu penteado favorito da era:
“Meu penteado favorito foi o cabelo preso da capa de ‘B’DAY’.
Ele resistiu ao tempo e voltou com tudo neste ano. Adoro ver as interpretações das pessoas, os vídeos e como aquele visual dos anos 2000 evoluiu.
Fui buscar peças no arquivo da Deréon para a BeyHive, por causa do relançamento comemorativo dos 20 anos de ‘B’DAY’. Sim, haaaa!
Também me diverti muito recriando alguns dos designs meus e da minha mãe.
Trouxemos de volta os moletons da Deréon e os vestidos metalizados de ‘Freakum Dress’.
Nunca vou esquecer quando liguei para minha mãe no dia anterior à gravação de ‘Freakum Dress’, pedindo que ela fizesse mais vestidos, em outras cores.
Eu tinha imaginado uma edição com cortes que alternassem as cores dos vestidos durante a coreografia.
Ela ficou frustrada por eu ter dado essa tarefa de última hora, mas ela e Ty (Tyrone Hunter) conseguiram fazer tudo.
Sou muito grata a ela.”
Fans are pointing out how Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER perfectly reflects the current state of the United States, as several historic firsts are being made across the country following the 2026 midterm elections.
Among them:
First Black woman elected Governor of the United States — Keisha Lance Bottoms (Georgia)
First openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate — Chris Pappas (New Hampshire)
First Latina governor of Texas — Gina Hinojosa
First Native American woman elected governor — Deb Haaland (New Mexico)
First Native American woman elected to the U.S. Senate — Peggy Flanagan (Minnesota)
First Black governor of Florida — Byron Donalds
First Black governor of Wisconsin — David Crowley
First Muslim American elected to the U.S. Senate — Abdul El-Sayed (Michigan)
First Muslim mayor of New York City — Zohran Mamdani
First transgender woman elected to the Alabama Legislature — Allison Montgomery
10 years ago today, Beyoncé made her appearance at the CMAs, exposing the racial gatekeeping deeply rooted within country music, a genre with significant Black American roots.
That moment helped lay the groundwork for the universally acclaimed COWBOY CARTER, an unapologetic reclamation of Black contributions to country music and a response to the very industry that had attempted to marginalize her from a genre shaped, in part, by Black artists.
Beyoncé is expected to earn her milestone 100th GRAMMY nomination, with “MORNING DEW (DONK)” strongly predicted to land a Best R&B Solo Performance nomination at the 2027 #GRAMMYs.
She would extend her record as the most-nominated person in GRAMMY history.
