beyhive1992:

London 4/29

(via gotmelookingsocrazyrightnow)

tour trailer.

'Mavis Staples, 73, belongs to the folk wing of gospel. Her values are grounded in the civil rights and labor union movements and the ideals of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Her concert, which mixed R&B, folk, country and traditional spirituals, reflected a long view of history in which the downtrodden’s struggles against injustice require patience and perseverance...' 

'...fourteen-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys will...headline this year’s All-Star Weekend in Houston. Keys will be the sole performer of the halftime show during the big game on February 17'

'...just Beyoncé, her heels, her thighs, her leather-and-lace corset and a...romp through her songbook, ignoring most of her proven crowd-pleasers just because she's Beyoncé and Beyoncé can get away with doing whatever Beyoncé feels like doing. No "Countdown," no "Say My Name," no "Irreplaceable" or "Survivor" or "Run the World (Girls)." Yet the Queen B demonstrated why she is the great pop performer of our time, stomping and writhing in a swirl of multiple-Beyoncé holograms. So many Beyoncés onscreen—yet somehow, still nowhere near enough of them.'

'...The indomitable power couple have raked in a total of $78 million so far this year and have a combined net worth of nearly $800 million, thanks to music sales, touring revenue, and their stakes in fashion, sports, and other businesses. Jay-Z took home a Grammy—for best rap performance, for a track from last year’s collaboration with Kanye West, 'Watch the Throne'—and Beyoncé is prepping for the lead in Clint Eastwood’s remake of A Star Is Born.'
