Beyoncé is on the cover of GQ, and she’s being candid about pop stardom, who she’s listening to, she even had time to go to the movies, and answers that question about the visuals. We’re breaking it all down.
We’ve known Queen Bey to be a pop star for 25 years, but after her knee injury, does she think about retiring? She told the mag: “I retired from the formula of the pop star a very long time ago. I stopped focusing on what’s popular, and began focusing on the qualities that get better with time and experience. Good music and strong messages will never retire.”
So who does Beyoncé have time to listen to?
“I love Doechii and GloRilla, and I just heard That Mexican OT, he’s from Houston … He goes hard! I really like ‘Please Please Please’ by Sabrina Carpenter, and I think that Thee Sacred Souls and Chappell Roan are talented and interesting.”
And my favorite takeaway? She has time for Disney. She said, “The best movie I’ve seen this year is Inside Out 2. I think it’s brilliant.”
And when it comes to Renaissance and Cowboy Carter not having visuals, she stated: “I thought it was important that during a time where all we see is visuals, that the world can focus on the voice. The music is so rich in history and instrumentation. It takes months to digest, research and understand. The music is enough.”
