Beyonce Knowles Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

NewsNation that the “Heated” singer “really loves fashion and wants to get back into it ,but needs the right partner” after her partnership with Adidas for her line Ivy Park ended last year.Beyonce has an undeniable mega influence on fashion — the release of her latest country singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” have spurred a resurgence in western style, and her appearance in Luar’s front row at New York Fashion Week was all the buzz.But Beyonce has yet to drop a clothing collection since her final collaboration with Adidas, Ivy Park Noir, in October 2023, although she just launched her haircare line, Cécred.An anonymous insider claimed to NewsNation her deal with Adidas was allegedly worth $100 million — the sportswear brand supposedly doled out $20 million per year for Beyonce’s brand Ivy Park — but the athleisure line reportedly “never made any money.” When Adidas allegedly offered her $7 million a year, the insider claimed “she turned them down.” In February 2023, the Wall Street Journal reported that sales of Ivy Park had plummeted, dropping by over 50% in 2022. According to the report, about half of the product in multiple collections had gone unsold, and only brought in $40 million in 2022 — a stark contrast from the $93 million the year before.The Journal said the line was “losing money for Adidas.”In March 2023, just a month later, the Hollywood Reporter broke the news that the sportswear giant and Beyonce had mutually decided to part ways.

Ariana Grande kicked off the season atop the Billboard 200 with “Eternal Sunshine” — scoring what was then the biggest opening week of any album in 2024 — while simultaneously notching a No. 1 debut on the Hot 100 with her current single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” it’s been one boss lady after another running the music game.Indeed, before we even got to April Fool’s Day, we were also flipping our lace-front wigs over new albums by Kacey Musgraves (“Deeper Well”) and, of course, Beyoncé (“Cowboy Carter”).

“Texas Hold ’Em” singer made a last-minute pitch to country upstart Willie Jones to appear on her new “Cowboy Carter” opus — with the album deadline fast approaching to make her March 29 release date — it was either go big or stay home.“It was literally in the fourth quarter,” Jones, 29, told The Post of recording his “Just for Fun” duet with Beyoncé in the final stages of “Cowboy Carter.” “It was literally … end of February, February 20-something.”Jones got the call that would change his life from Alex Vickery, who produced his vocals on “Just for Fun” — which, despite its title, is a decidedly moody meditation.“She’s like, ‘Are you sitting down?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And she’s like, ‘You know Beyoncé is working on a country album … [and] she loves your voice.’ I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ She was like, ‘Can you come out here tomorrow?’ I was like, ‘Send the car.’ ”And now the Shreveport, Louisiana native is galloping into history as one of the Black country artists spotlighted by Beyoncé Knowles Carter on “Cowboy Carter” — the undisputed event record of 2024 — which just scored the biggest sales week of the year in its chart-topping debut on the Billboard 200. Released to rave reviews (including mine), the LP also made Queen B the first Black woman to reign over the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, while simultaneously holding the top three spots on the Hot Country Songs chart led by her No.

Beyoncé and Paul McCartney.The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer covers the 1968 Beatles beauty “Blackbird” — written by Macca, although credited to both McCartney and John Lennon — on her countrified new album “Cowboy Carter” that was released last Friday to rave reviews (including mine) and record-shattering streams.Bey’s honey- and harmony-coated rendition of “The White Album” classic — featuring African-American female country singers Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts making like Destiny’s Southern Child — is a revelation that repurposes the song from a black female perspective.And Sir Paul has given Beyonce’s “Blackbird” — which is styled as “Blackbiird” on “Cowboy Carter” — the most royal of blessings.“I am so happy with @beyonce’s version of my song ‘Blackbird,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place.

made a controversial speech at the 2024 Grammys — while accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award with eldest daughter Blue Ivy, 12, by daddy’s side — in which he called out the Recording Academy for wife Beyoncé’s failure to win the most prestigious of prizes: Album of the Year.This, despite Mrs.

new album “Cowboy Carter” — and one of them is none other than music legend Stevie Wonder.After accepting the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles Monday night, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer gushed over the 25-time Grammy winner who handed her the gong.“Now, Beyoncé is once again changing music and culture,” Wonder said of her latest record. “And when she’s not changing music, she’s changing the world, fighting the good fight.”As the mom of three accepted the award, she thanked the “I Wish” hitmaker for “making a way for all of us.”“And thank you for playing the harmonica on ‘Jolene,’” she added.“Tonight, you called me an innovator and for that, I’m very grateful,” the 32-time Grammy winner said.

So decreed Queen B in a rare lengthy Instagram post about “Cowboy Carter,” which is “Act II” in her “Renaissance” trilogy that began with the underground house beats of her 2022 album that had us buzzing and bopping to “Break My Soul,” “Cuff It” and “Alien Superstar.”And while it may seem like a hair-whipping flip to take it from the ballroom to the barnyard on her latest, it is not as radical of a departure as it may seem for Bey herself, who hails from Houston, Texas, and is as Southern as any hummingbird could be.“They used to say I spoke ‘too country’/And the rejection came, said I wasn’t ‘country ’nough’/Said I wouldn’t saddle up/But if that ain’t country, tell me, what is?” she sings with a snarl in her twang on “Ameriican Requiem,” the autobiographical manifesto that opens the album.This is Bey unplugged, raw and rootsy, two-stepping across the color lines that took “Texas Hold ’Em” — the banjo-picking bluegrass stomper that previewed “Cowboy Carter” last month — all the way to No.

cover of her certified classic “Jolene,” which recently turned 50.“Hey Miss Honey B, it’s Dolly P,” says Parton, 79, with all her familiar, down-home warmth.“You know that hussy with the good hair you sing about?” she continues, referencing the infamous, man-stealing “Becky” from “Lemonade” standout “Sorry.”“Reminding me of someone I knew back when/Except she has flamin’ locks of auburn hair … Just a hair of a different color, but it hurts just the same.”Then Bey takes the mic to deliver a soulful, acoustic-guitar-strumming rendition of Parton’s seminal hit — which, after being released in October 1973, went on to top the country chart as the title track of the singer’s 1974 album.Although it is as country as country gets, there is a bit of a hip-hop thump behind the propulsive beat to let you know that this is still very much a Beyoncé album.And after all the ballroom house beats of the first act of “Renaissance” — which came out in July 2022 — this is Bey unplugged, raw and rootsy, breaking down how betrayal knows no color before a whoop-ass choir backs her up at the end.But Parton isn’t the only country legend who — after Beyoncé hinted that she was not “welcomed” when she performed “Daddy Lessons” with the Chicks at the CMA Awards in 2016 — co-signs on “Cowboy Carter.”O.G. outlaw Willie Nelson appears in two interludes — “Smoke Hour” and “Smoke Hour II” — as the host of a radio show on KNTRY in Beyoncé’s native Texas.

“Cowboy Carter” — the Beyoncé country album that is dropping at midnight — you don’t have to hold up before she brings some more of that “Texas Hold ‘Em” twang.Here are six other black country artists who will get your yeehaw up before Mrs. Carter takes us all the way to country town on “Act II” of her “Renaissance” trilogy — which will include a tribute to Linda Martell, the first African-American woman to play the Grand Ole Opry — at midnight.Coincidentally, Brown will be playing the New York area — bringing his In the Air Tour to Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Saturday — on the same weekend that “Cowboy Carter” drops.

“Act II: Cowboy Carter,” due March 29.Mrs. Carter’s news left the Beyhive buzzing, with many recalling the cold reception the artist appeared to have once received from the country-music community, which inspired her to make her new LP.“It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she wrote in an unusually lengthy post.And fans are speculating that Beyoncé is referring to the 2016 Country Music Association Awards, when she performed “Daddy Lessons” — a distinctly country ditty off her much-lauded “Lemonade” album — with the Chicks.Country star Alan Jackson reportedly walked out on the performance in protest, later tweeting #KeepItCountry.But seven years after that controversial CMAs appearance, Beyoncé has become the first black woman to have a No.

Beyoncé is a little too young to have watched the “Carter Country” sitcom that aired on ABC from 1977 to 1979 — when Richard Paul’s Mayor Teddy Burnside character would dismissively tell his subordinates to “Handle it, handle it.” Well, five decades later, the new boss of “Carter Country” is none other than Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.On Tuesday, the hottest new cowgirl in the game announced that “Carter Country” would be the title of the country-themed “Act II” of her “Renaissance” trilogy — in a nod to her married name as the wife of Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter.Anticipation has been building to Country Bey’s album-length arrival after she dropped the twangy twosome of “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages” on Super Bowl night Feb. 11.

Dolly Parton, 78, wrote on Instagram last week. “So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single.

the first black woman to go No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs with her bluessgrassy bop “Texas Hold ’Em.”But, in the last week of Black History Month, we gotta give props to another African-American diva who broke down genre barriers on the country charts long before Bey made her two-step statement.That would be Donna Summer, who, when she was the Queen of Disco, made her own history as the first African-American woman to co-write a No.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages,” earlier this month and announcing an entire upcoming country album to be released in March. The “Daddy Lessons” singer — who just became the first Black woman artist with a number one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart — has been leaning into the western aesthetic, sporting diamond-encrusted bolo ties and cowboy hats, inspiring her Beyhive to follow suit.Isha Nicole, the creative director and senior vice president of marketing for the western wear company, Boot Barn, told Women’s Wear Daily that Queen Bey will “catapult Western influence into the limelight” by “inviting the masses to participate in the romanticism of the American spirit.”“With this, we’ll see a spike in traditional felt cowboy hats in colors such as stark white or red, donned recently by the queen herself,” she said.

Beyoncé is entering her Cowgirl Era.If you thought that Bey was just randomly rocking cowboy hats all of a sudden — from the promo pics for her “Renaissance” album and tour to merch and her Grammys look just over a week ago — then you don’t know Bey.And like the marketing queen that she is, she used the biggest audience possible — in a Super Bowl 2024 commercial for Verizon that ended with Beyoncé saying “Drop the new music” — to tease the arrival of two new surprise country singles: “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages.”On a night that was supposed to belong to another pop superstar — Super Bowl LVIII halftime show headliner Usher — once again B was causing all the conversation.(We’re sure that Usher was all good with it — after his epic extravaganza at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, he reportedly went ahead and got married to his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea.)But here we are beginning what is “Act II” of the “Renaissance” rollout, which began with “Act I” — a house-music manifesto led by her No. 1 hit “Break My Soul” — in 2022.But judging by “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages,” Beyoncé is now taking us from the clubs to the country on “Act II,” which, thankfully — no surprises here — we know is due March 29.Welcome to the Rodeo-sance.It shouldn’t be a complete shock that the all-time Grammy winner can actually do country music.

Jay-Z has got the nerves bad.In fact, the 45-year-old pop superstar — who was recruited by Jay-Z and his Roc Nation company to headline the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show on Sunday — defended the 54-year-old rapper for his tense takedown of the Grammys on music’s biggest night last Sunday.“I think I like a nervous Jay-Z more than anything. That’s what it told me,” Usher told The Post about the hip-hop mogul’s speech when he was accepting the Dr.

wrote Monday alongside several photos of his and Beyonce’s visuals. In one of the photos, the “Break My Soul” singer, 42, can be seen wearing a chrome — which later became the tour’s unofficial dress code — headpiece with what looks to be wires sticking out from the side.It is currently unclear if Sorayama is pursuing any legal action against the “Halo” songstress.

“Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” hit theaters on Friday,” some social media trolls had the nerve to accuse the Queen of trying to look “white” at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere last weekend.Some even went so far as to suggest that Bey — BEY! — was trying to look like Kim Kardashian.Beyoncé would never lower herself to even respond to such trollery. She’s too busy expanding her empire — there was yet another “Renaissance” merch drop in tandem with the movie’s release, if you’re still not saving up your coins for the parfum — and taking care of home with three kids.But you had best believe that her mother Tina Knowles was not going to let the “bozos” come for her daughter without giving them a whole word.(And if she doesn’t scare these fools enough, I mean, have they ever heard of the Beyhive??)After breaking down exactly why Beyoncé’s different look with platinum hair to match her silver gown was in keeping with the “Renaissance” theme — and black diva history going all the way back to Etta James — she then fiercely told them to have several seats.“I am sick of you losers,” she wrote in an Instagram post that, thankfully, spoke for many of us.

Beyoncé asked rhetorically on 2011’s “Run the World (Girls).”And in 2023, there’s no doubt that it has been Bey and Tay — Taylor Swift, of course — who not only have had blockbuster summer tours but have followed that up with theatrical film releases this fall that have been bigger events than any Marvel movie.But while “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which opened to boffo box office in October, is more of a straight-up concert flick, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” which hit cinemas on Friday, doubles as a documentary that gives you a behind-the-curtain look at the notoriously private pop diva.For a superstar who basically stopped doing interviews years ago, this is a rare glimpse at how the “Break My Soul” singer makes the magic — and motherhood — happen. Even if, as the film’s director, she’s controlling her own narrative.And if you came for a cozy-in-my-seat close-up of all the costumes and choreography, there’s plenty of that too over the nearly three-hour Beypic.Here, we break down the seven fiercest “Renaissance” moments — in order of appearance — both on and off the stage.Beyoncé gets real about “the mental strength and the mental stability required to survive” as a black female boss operating at the highest of levels in the game.“I feel like, being a black woman, the way people communicate with me is different,” she says.

Crazy in Love” with her daughter wanting to perform. The musician revealed that she initially refused to let her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, perform during her “Renaissance” World Tour.“She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” Beyonce, 42, said in her new concert documentary “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” per the New York Times.

Beyoncé — dropped a new trailer for her much-hyped concert film “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.” “To close my eyes and travel through realms of space and time, reality holds no power or control of my state of mind on my voyage to find a source to charge my inner being,” she intones over a moody montage of scenes from her epic 2023 tour at the beginning of the film’s third trailer.“Welcome to the Renaissance,” a choir of Beyoncé’s sings, as if you didn’t already know that said tour was the subject of this concert film.The film is set to be released on December 1, World AIDS Day, in honor of Beyoncé’s late Uncle Jonny — her inspiration for “Renaissance,” who died from AIDS-related complications early in her career.Then, some stadium stage-slaying and private family feels find Beyoncé reflecting on just how fierce she has run the world — as well as the household.“In this world that is very male-dominated, I’ve had to be really tough to balance motherhood and being on the stage … It just reminds me of who I really am.”Finally, after a nod to the “Renaissance” visuals that the fans have been clamoring for since the album dropped in July 2022 — “You are the visuals, baby,” she teases — Beyoncé makes it clear that the revolution has just begun, y’all.“It’s a new birth.

Jay-Z and Beyonce shocked the world when the singer announced her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. And they were again taken aback by her unique name when she arrived five months later on January 7, 2012.Now, the proud dad is revealing what the couple initially were going to name the 11-year-old.“It was supposed to be Brooklyn,” Jay-Z, 53, told Gayle King during a “CBS Mornings” clip, which was released on Friday.The moniker would have been a special nod to the New York City borough where the record producer was born. The pair, however, ultimately went for Blue because they called her “Blueberry” when the “Drunk in Love” musician was still pregnant.“You know, it was like a nickname,” he told King, 68.

Blue Ivy practically stole the “Renaissance” Tour from Beyoncé.Now it’s Madonna’s 11-year-old daughter Estere showing that she got it from her mama, at the opening of the Queen of Pop’s “Celebration” Tour at the O2 in London on Saturday.Estere — who has a twin sister, Stella — demonstrated that she most definitely knows how to strike a fierce pose when she worked the runway to her mother’s classic dance anthem “Vogue.”In a nod to the underground ballroom culture that Madonna brought to the masses with her 1990 No. 1 hit and its iconic video, Madge and her oldest daughter, Lourdes — who celebrated her 27th birthday on Saturday — served as judges for Estere and her fellow voguers.And Estere certainly scored big with the familial panel, with her hand handiwork especially deserving of 10s across the board.She wasn’t the only one of Madonna’s children to perform on their mother’s big comeback stage after a serious bacterial infection sent her to the ICU for several days in late June, forcing a three-month postponement of her 40th-anniversary tour.The pop superstar’s son, David Banda, 18, also joined the Material Girl, making like Prince on guitar for a bit of “Let’s Go Crazy” that had the audience doing just that.

posted to X (formerly Twitter), the pop star, 35, claimed that she was thinking of wearing a tracksuit after struggling to find silver attire. “I’m gonna go see Beyonce on Monday; I’m very excited,” said the “Easy on Me” crooner during her Las Vegas residency. “You know, I like to get dressed up every weekend, and obviously this is her birthday show.

According to The Sun, Beyoncé’s camp makes sure she always has her very own toilet seat.Photos published by the outlet taken backstage show a large black box that is labeled: “Beyoncé… toilet seats.”The publication alleged that the “Crazy in Love” crooner shells out thousands of dollars for the bathroom bench to be flown with her.A source explained: “Beyoncé is such an elite performer she can literally request anything.”“Her team makes great effort to ensure she has her own comforts and a personal toilet seat happens to be one,” the insider claimed.They went on: “Her tour roadies have seen everything so it’s not a great deal for them, but it does raise a smile from people who happen to catch a glimpse of the branded container.”The mother-of-three also has a custom-made golf cart with her on tour. It’s shrouded in black sheets to protect her as she is brought backstage.Bey also has a special VIP area for herself and her entourage that her crew is not allowed to be near, according to the Sun.

Bey loved.While his big sister’s buzzing around the globe on her Renaissance World Tour, Beyoncé’s 13-year-old half-brother — who spent his formative years living in a trailer with mom Alexsandra Wright — questions why the “Why Don’t You Love Me” singer won’t show him any affection, so claims the teen’s mother. “[He asks], ‘Why doesn’t that person love me?’,” Wright, 52, who lives in California, told The Sun of her son Nixon, who she shares with Beyoncé’s father and ex-manager Mathew Knowles, 71. “Nixon has never had the luxury of being a normal child,” Wright, an L.A.-based businesswoman, continued. “Being related to someone famous smothers kids like him and they lose their identity.”“I sit in the bathroom and cry sometimes because I just don’t know how to help him be his own person.”Representatives for Beyoncé, 41, did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. Wright, a former public relations representative for Microsoft, met Knowles in Seattle, Wash., while brokering a business deal for Beyoncé in 2007. “He said, ‘I am going to stay in Seattle until you agree to have a drink with me,’” recalled Wright.

was posted by social media influencer @PaigeChristieUK on Twitter Wednesday, and showed the scandal-plagued Ballinger — as Miranda Sings — performing the 2008 song with what looks like dark paint or makeup smudged all over her face, accompanied by two backup dancers.The dancers do not appear to be wearing the paint. On Twitter, Christie further claimed that the video was found through a QR code link in Ballinger’s 2018 book, “My Diarrhe,” authored under her character’s name.Christie showed a screen recording of someone scanning the QR code in the book, which led them to an unlisted YouTube video that was posted in 2018 and titled “Single Ladies,” in which Ballinger is seen on stage.Per TMZ, some also claimed that the clip was offered as an “exclusive sneak peek” to people who bought the book.
