This is why I love performers like Beyoncé. This was such an amazing display of her real-time musical muscle memory and improvisation. Props to the guitarist for keeping up with her ❤️
I just realized Beyoncé went, gave the Grammys their best performance ever to set the standard and never performed again. It has been almost 10 years, it remains untouched
Beyoncé on why her album is titled Cowboy Carter, not Cowgirl Carter:
"I wanted everyone to take a minute and research the word cowboy. History is often told by the victors. American history has been rewritten endlessly. Up to a quarter of all cowboys were Black. These men faced a world that refused to see them as equal, yet they were the backbone of the cattle industry."

Mathew Knowles revealed that he congratulated Beyoncé on making the list of billionaires, but she never talks about money and is always concerned with how she can please her fans
“I’ve never heard Beyoncé ever talk about money… It’s always been, ‘How can I make my fans happy? How can I be the best at what I’m doing?' Her money came with the success, but that has never been a goal of hers. And I love that about her.
She’s motivated by being the very best. She’s motivated by making her fans happy and…. giving back to the community as well."

Girl, get up is actually the perfect song to describe Beyoncé’s career. White people were so mad she won a Grammy, that they started a hate campaign that made her look worse than Diddy.
I often think about this moment between Diana Ross and Beyoncè during the Renaissance world tour. Beyoncé is really the living embodiment of the dreams and aspirations of those that came before her, she carries them with her
