On the other hand, I’ve still never quite figured out the cult of Beyoncé




She was better in TLC.

ETA: I meant destiny's child

Not saying she lacks talent, but nothing she's put out solo has been worth the accolades. She's Hip-Pop with a media army. The whole "Queen Bee" thing is manufactured in part. Just like Taylor Swift, she was anointed by the industry.

Is it normal now to start a tour a little over a year after the album was released?

Thanks. That's what I meant.

The industry picks the winners and the losers and it's definitely not based solely on talent

Beyonce hasn't been that great since her 2nd solo album. Madonna never moved past the early 90s. Both of become DNC avatars over the decades.

Live entertainment will always beat sitting at home. Millennials and Gen Z are why Taylor Swift just made nine figures touring over two years.

Funny, she wins grammys for her "country music" album. But as someone who drives arounfd a bit and listens to country stations almost exclusively, I never heard any of her songs played - not one!

Overrated and bad.

I love that she has the most Grammys of all time but no one can point to a song of hers that’s on the level of Thriller.

Her songs are the equivalent of cotton candy. Bright and saccharine, but utterly lacking substance and soul.


All pink and no think.

Plenty of woke artists in country music today that sell out venues all the time..


Chris Stapleton.
Tyler Childers.
Tim McGraw.
Colter Wall.
Maren Morris.

to name a few. they all can suck a big bag of AID infested dicks IMO. I still believe Beyoncé’s shite will sell out, unfortunately. But it is interesting. I still feel like the whole reason she made Cowboy Carter was to dare critics, the media, other country artists, country music fans, etc not to slurp it up, so she could call them racist. So, we’ll see if that tactic works for ticket sales.

Well it doesn’t really appeal to country fans for obvious reasons and it doesn’t appeal to Beyoncé fans also for obvious reasons.

I think she’s sold 95% of her tickets for her opening show. Not bad in my opinion.

Yeah
The author of the article has a very different definition of the word “abysmal” than I do.

The article blames it on Ticketmaster and ticket prices.

I respectfully suggest it is because Beyonce is not a country artist.

That’s an unrealistic standard, but yeah she hasn’t had a huge song with any staying power in like15 years
