[ESSENCE @Essence]

Delayed but not denied.

For years, Beyonce has set the standard, shaped the culture, and redefined the art—now, the recognition has finally caught up.

This award is more than a trophy. It’s about reclaiming what’s been taken, whitewashed, and shut us out for far too long.

So tonight, we don’t just celebrate Bey—we celebrate every Black artist who should have heard “And the winner is…” long before now.

So, we celebrate, we uplift, and we say—about damn time!

Congratulations, Beyonce Album of the Year winner!

@emzanotti Your appreciation for the little things grows! It helps you prioritize and manage your time better.

@MuuMuse It’s been a while since we’ve gotten dance pop as good as Let me go OH OH

I’m so excited that we can finally share The Chromatica Ball film with the world. This film chronicles a time of immense creativity…the fashion, the dance, the music. Revisiting the tour leaves me speechless the way we had each other—you all showed up for music and art in a big way, and with a level of excitement and freedom that I will never forget. Stadium after stadium. Sold out crowds. The deafening singalongs.

Chromatica was colorful revenge. The chaos of it all became pure energy and life. With a texture best experienced live.

"STRUT IT OUT, WALK A MILE
SERVE IT ANCIENT CITY STYLE"

Self-acceptance is a theme that cuts through all my songs. I believe it is always possible to dig deep and find your greatness. Self-discovery is an art. Self-love is a practice.

I love you monsters more than I can say. See yourself in every vocal, every fabric choice, the choreography, every image… Here’s the truth—no matter where life or my career has taken me, my time with you always is a path back to a very powerful part of myself. In a stadium filled with YOU it came to life. Thank you for that feeling 🙏 🖤 I hope you will feel seen when you watch this film. And know that I edited it carefully to honor you.

@ulricmusset I think it’s habit. I never would’ve used WhatsApp if it wasn’t for my parents.

@notcapnamerica He’s too young to remember that people were not happy a Puerto Rican was playing a Mexican legend. Also, he’s confusing who elevated who.

For @ringer I wrote about how Beyoncé (who is peerless) uses COWBOY CARTER to draw from the past to reshape the future of country music, but at its core, this is a BEYONCÉ ALBUM. Also DESERT EAGLE should be 10 minutes long(er)!!!

@realgirl_fieri I will always swear pregnancy cured my GERD, at least for 2 years. I had been worried about how worse my heartburn would get and I felt like I coasted.

@clhubes There are way too many Moms in my group who seek pediatricians that don’t push vaccines. At least I know where not to go.

@missmulrooney I kinda regret it because I got multiples or can’t donate bc they’re signed. Never again.

Not arguing with people in 2024, I’m just gonna say “it makes sense that you would think that”

@clhubes Most of the comments are still referencing the first viral tweet too. She’s hooked lol

[BEYPRESS. @beyoncepress]

Beyoncé never had to prove her talent to anyone, but she built her legacy against all odds!

The New York Times 2003:

"Maybe this album is merely a misstep, and maybe Beyoncé has yet to record the brilliant solo album that people expected. Or maybe it's proof that she isn't quite as versatile as she seemed"

The New York Times 2023:

"Anything Beyoncé does becomes a cultural event, but the Renaissance World Tour has become a cultural movement. People are crossing the globe to see her, comparing set lists and fashion choices, attending multiple shows"

@SongofThyme BS! But also, she’s already a senior?!?

[Leslie L. @ladyleslo]

@Veronique956 I remember the negative feedback JLo received when she got the role. But when I watched the movie, I thought I was watching the real Selena. She meant a lot to me even at 10 years old and I’ll never forget it!
