“I met Beyoncé. That takes the cake for me. Blue [Ivy] introduced herself and was familiar with some of my press for a film that did, specifically the Quenlin Blackwell video. And then she introduced me to her mom.” #beyonce #tyriqwithers #blueivy #metgala

“Throughout Beyoncé’s decade-spanning career, she has made history for black and female artists, inspiring future talents across various genres such as R&B, rap and even country. She is the most decorated individual in the history of the Grammy Awards, with 32 wins as of 5 February 2023, and is the only female artist to have debuted at Billboard 200’s No.1 spot with each of her studio albums. Not only can Beyonce “run the world” of music, but she can also run businesses, direct her own concert films and act in popular movies, such as Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Is there anything Queen Bey can’t do?” #beyonce #guinnesworldrecord

"Last summer, Ayushi Roy stood in MetLife stadium with seventy thousand other people watching Beyoncé’s historic Cowboy Carter tour. She walked out of the concert convinced that the art belonged in her classroom. For several years, Ayushi has taught a course at the Harvard Kennedy School on improving the delivery of public programs—students learn the policy design and implementation choices that determine if Medicaid, SNAP, Unemployment Insurance, and dozens of other programs reach, or fail to reach, the families they were built for. She came back convinced that Beyoncé wasn’t just talking about Black erasure from the genre of country music, but erasure from the country. She was making an argument about who counts as American—who receives institutional support versus scrutiny—and that argument is central to the course. Ayushi reached out to Trey, a historian who studies race and politics in the US, to redesign the course around the Cowboy Carter album and Beyoncé’s discography." "The framework we built together is called AMERIICAN REQUIEM. It uses Cowboy Carter, and Beyoncé’s three-act reclamation project, as a lens for thinking about who the U.S. safety net extracts from, and who it serves. The argument isn’t necessarily that Bey set out to make this exact analysis. Rather, that her art and her political evolution sit at the center of American life, making them useful pedagogical tools to think about exclusion, erasure, deserving-ness, and reformation. Even 30 years after the 1996 Welfare Reform Act, policy writing alone doesn’t evoke these themes as viscerally. We are publishing the essay below, which frames the course. It raises questions about who this country’s public institutions and systems were built for—including the social safety net serving those most in-need—and what it might look like to rebuild them, founding the country anew. We think these questions merit serious study, and conversation beyond the classroom." #beyonce #harvardkennedyschool

Riddick-Woods on Beyoncé, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of B’Day: “She’s not the type of collaborator that’s like, “My way or the highway.” She’s constantly fielding opinions, and that’s the standard way good collaboration works. Of course, we went back and forth on lines — “Let’s not say that,” “Let’s move this line here” — nothing was different because it was Beyoncé. She was really engrossed in that collaboration process, as any other writer would be. For example, she had written most of “Kitty Kat” before I got there; that was all her. People need to know Beyoncé’s a writer. I know there’s been a lot of conversation over the years, but I’ve seen her write. I’ve seen the ideas and concepts she has; she’ll give them to us, and we’ll write around them. A lot of times, that’s where songs start: from a dope concept. “Freakum Dress” was another concept she came up with based on how the music made her feel. We were talking about going out and how you make your man jealous. All of that is writing; it starts with conceptualizing first. Before you get into the nitty-gritty of the lyrics and the rhythm and the pre-chorus and this and that, it starts with the concept and the theme of the song first. Beyoncé always started there with her songs. And then she would come up with these crazy melodies. She’s her own vocal producer, but just singer to singer, I remember being like, “You want to sing that in full voice all the way through?” [Laughs].” #beyonce
