Speaker 8: I'm the director of marketing, and I went to LA

00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 8: Birthday show and Dallas the only night.

60
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Perfect and I went to Atlanta Night three. But I

61
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: have also been on live streams for the Birthday show.

62
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: I believe both of the Houston shows as well as

63
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: the Kansas City five show. So shout out to all

64
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: of the faithful fans who have streamed for us on

65
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: Instagram and TikTok live so that we could be a

66
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: part of the fun. So from the very beginning, I

67
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: think when the tour was announced, there was all this

68
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: whopla as there always is around buying tickets. So what

69
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: was the process like for you buying tickets? Like, did

70
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: you have a strategy with you and your friends? How

71
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 1: was that process for y'all?

72
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: This is Naisha.

73
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 5: I'll start.

74
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: So my best friend was on it. She said, he

75
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: sent me the money and I'll be on it. And

76
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: she said anybody else go, and I'm like, okay, these

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 4: people better have their money. So she literally grouped the

78
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: money together, she bought it, and you know, we just

79
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 4: tell her that cash app So I think it would

80
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 4: have been difficult if all of us were deciding.

81
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: She said, just send me the money and.

82
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: That's it, okay. And y'all knew that you were going

83
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: to go to Atlanta.

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: Three of us were in Atlanta. She flew from New

85
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: York and we made a party out of it.

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 6: So, Naisha, mine was really similar to yours, where we

88
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 6: had like a plan ahead of time, and I had

89
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 6: a ticket buying friend and so she actually was not

90
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 6: even to get tickets because you know, it was like

91
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 6: a rollout of like different times where you could get them.

92
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 9: So we started to panic, but shout out to one

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 9: of her.

94
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 6: Sorority sisters who was able to get us tickets, and

95
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 6: I actually flew from Maryland to Chicago because I needed

96
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 6: to see it with my people.

97
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 5: I'll go next.

98
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 8: Mine was a little bit stressful, so obviously I was

99
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 8: trying to go to LA and then another show in

100
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 8: Texas because I have two college friends in Texas, and

101
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 8: so we were going to do Dallas there Houston. It

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 8: ended up being that they chose Dallas for the LA show.

103
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 8: Me and like four of my friends, we all signed

104
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 8: up to like try and get the codes, and it

105
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 8: ended up being that the Birthday show was added, and

106
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 8: then I got the code on Super Bowl Sunday.

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 5: I was literally in disbelief.

108
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 8: I was just looking at my phone like wait, and

109
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 8: then I was like wait, everybody please check and like

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 8: make sure because I am not the ticket buying friend.

111
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 8: It's a very overwhelming thing for me.

112
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: So it's actually kind.

113
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 8: Of while that I ended up being the ticket buying

114
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 8: friend for two groups. So LA rolls around. I'm sitting

115
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 8: there checking out. At noon, I had a walkthrough for

116
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 8: my job and I was like, I need a ride

117
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 8: to this walkthrough, so my friend drove me so that

118
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 8: like at noon, I'd be able to like just be

119
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 8: on my phone waiting to buy tickets.

120
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 5: So that process bought the tickets.

121
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 8: We end up in Club Renaissance, which was the goal,

122
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 8: and then we have different tiered backup plans, but we

123
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 8: were fortunate to get it, not resale and just outright purchase,

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 8: so I was so grateful. But then as I was

125
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 8: checking out for that one, I got the notification that

126
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 8: my Dallas tickets were ready to be purchased, and I

127
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 8: freaked out because I was hoping that at least two

128
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 8: of us in the group would get tickets and try

129
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 8: and coordinate near each other because they had the four

130
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 8: ticket limit. But for whatever reason, in Dallas, you were

131
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 8: able to buy more than the four because they did

132
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 8: their tickets through like seat geek instead, so I was

133
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 8: able to actually get all five tickets. I think it

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 8: was the highest my credit card balance had ever.

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: Been in one go.

136
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 8: Like I literally was just swipe and prey like, please

137
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 8: don't fly this. Thank you so much. So I'm gonna

138
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 8: just shout out to MX for that because I literally

139
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 8: was like, okay, panicked, and we had all decided on

140
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 8: like how much we were trying to bend. So tried

141
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 8: to make sure that was also accounted for when I

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 8: was doing the Dallas tickets and the Club Renaissance ticket.

143
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Gena, what about you because you went in

144
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: a different state than you live in, So how did

145
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: you in your circle decide Houston?

146
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: So I remember being in school and students freaking out

147
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: about Beyonce, like in class figuring out how to get tickets.

148
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: Me I was not stressed. I knew whether it is

149
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: a will, there's a way, and I never went through

150
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: the process of stressing out. So go whole summer, I'm

151
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: saying it on TikTok. I see the girls enjoying themselves.

152
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, I go, I go. If I don't, I don't,

153
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: I'll see it. And then my mom she was like, well,

154
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: I booked a hotel room for Houston. I don't have

155
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: tickets yet, but we're going to get tickets. And so

156
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: same mindset, We're gonna get it, how we get it,

157
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: and Eventually she walked into my room one night and

158
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: she was like, we're going to Houston and this is

159
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: where we're sitting. And so I just packed a bag

160
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: and I went with my mom. So I didn't have

161
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: a plan, I didn't stress, I didn't fret. I just

162
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: picked an outfit with my mother and we made it

163
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: to Houston. But my girlfriends, they were stressed figure out what.

164
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 9: Days they're going to go.

165
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: Oh, this girl can't go here, and I was just

166
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: watching them like, okay, like I'm a pray for y'all

167
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: and I hope it works out.

168
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: And it did.

169
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: But I never had to really strategize. I'm not that friend.

170
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna sit back and wait. And it worked

171
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 2: out nice.

172
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 5: Nice. See, that's the friend I wanted to be.

173
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 8: The Universe literally said, girl, today is your day to

174
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 8: be stressed out in sweating.

175
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: So I never got a cold. Because initially there were

176
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: only two Atlanta shows, I think, so I didn't get

177
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: a code for either Friday or Saturday. And then when

178
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: they added the Monday show. I feel like they added

179
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: the Monday show maybe on Super Bowl Sunday or something

180
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: like that, and then I was able to get tickets.

181
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: So there was a little bit of stress after I

182
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: didn't get a code, but once they added the Monday show,

183
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: it was fine. What about you, Elise?

184
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 7: Okay, I had a similar experience to Jana, where I

185
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 7: was initially gonna go with my youngest sister in Atlanta

186
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 7: and then I got kicked to the curb because I

187
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 7: was too old to go with the college students.

188
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: So I was like.

189
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 7: Okay, I got a cee Beyonce, and so I wasn't

190
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 7: really stressed. I was never stressed about getting tickets because

191
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 7: resale is a thing and typically if you are strategic,

192
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 7: you can get a good resale price. And so I

193
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 7: honestly bought my ticket the day of my show, maybe

194
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 7: like seven or eight hours before, and it was cheaper

195
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 7: than the same tickets I saw like twenty four hours before.

196
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 7: So yeah, I kind of just freeballed it after, you know,

197
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 7: I got kicked to the curb.

198
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: Wow. So I know that there was a lot of

199
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: like strategy on TikTok with people talking about like waiting

200
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: till the day of, but it sounds like you have

201
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: a history of waiting until the last minute to get

202
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: good deals, so you already knew it was gonna work out,

203
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: got it, got it okay. So the tour has just

204
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: wrapped up. But we got, of course the album in

205
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, right, We got the album in twenty

206
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: twenty two, so we had a you know, several months

207
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: to caracolaid on the music before it was even time

208
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: for the tour to roll out. So I'm curious to

209
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: hear what were your favorites from the album before the

210
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: tour and did that change for you after seeing any

211
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: of the songs performed live.

212
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: I can kick us off with this. So the album

213
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: dropped and it was August of my senior year, and

214
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: so I went to this party at Duke University and

215
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: it was like a hippie kind of part, like a

216
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: black hippie party, like really cool alternative and we were

217
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: all dancing and then cuff It came on. It was

218
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: like we were in another universe, like the song was new,

219
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: we all knew the words, and it just we felt.

220
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 9: Like falling in love.

221
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: Like it was just it felt so good and I

222
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: just remember like dancing with my hands in the air.

223
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: But after the concert, I remember being in love with heated.

224
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: Hearing the fans in real time it had me. I

225
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, this is a part of

226
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: the choreo. This is a part of the production. So

227
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: at first I was in love with cuff it because

228
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: this made me feel like a party. But after seeing

229
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: it in person and hearing everyone pull out their fan

230
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: and have it in the air, amazing.

231
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm just getting excited because of the fans, Like, the

232
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: fans really got me.

233
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: So two things. So it was coughing for me, like

234
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: that was a theme.

235
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 4: Everybody was enjoying it. And then and I was like,

236
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 4: let me listen to America has a problem. I was like,

237
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: this is cool, this is cool. But then I was like,

238
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 4: we're going back to cuft And then I realized that's

239
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: enjoy your favorite song. When we did a TVG poll

240
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: was a church girl. I like to look at the

241
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: lyrics and like literally just look at the lyrics. And

242
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 4: though I didn't grow up as a church girl, I

243
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: was like, please, yes, this is needed, you know. So

244
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed it. But to answer your question, heated

245
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: the mechanical fans and everyone pulled out their fans, and

246
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 4: when she was doing her moves and her central just excitement.

247
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 4: It's like this is amazing. So I can't wait to

248
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: go practice in the Mira.

249
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 7: I can say my favorites initially were Plastic off the

250
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 7: sofa into Virgo's groove. I just love that. I think

251
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 7: it's just so beautiful. But as Jana said, heated definitely

252
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 7: grew on me during the tour, and I think I

253
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 7: was actually scared about how America has a problems going to.

254
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: Sound live, but I was pleasantly.

255
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 4: Surprised it was really great.

256
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, So like Aliens Superstar was actually my initial favorite

257
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 8: right off to that, along with Move and I.

258
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 5: Still like really appreciated.

259
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 8: Them like on tour and everything, but I think he

260
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 8: did changed for me, and then I was one of

261
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 8: the fortunate groups to get all up in your mind

262
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 8: and so seeing that actually live performed, I literally was like, Okay,

263
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 8: like I see the vision and I really like this.

264
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 8: But I also feel like I just listened to the

265
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 8: album like in full, over and over again all the time.

266
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 8: So like it was hard for me to pick a

267
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 8: favorite initially, So it's just been really great to find

268
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 8: new ways to like love all the songs that I

269
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 8: feel like I loved instantly.

270
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 6: Okay, so I'm an outlier here because my favorite song

271
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 6: I did love Alien Superstar from the very beginning, but

272
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 6: my tried and true fave is Move, and I wanted

273
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 6: to hear her do the entire song from start to finish.

274
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 6: And I also am like Summer Renaissance Hive, like I

275
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 6: love that song. At the end when people were leaving,

276
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 6: I was like, y'all are disrespecting one of the best

277
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 6: songs on the album topic and so if anything like

278
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 6: seeing Beyonce in her all silver like up above everybody

279
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 6: like it just was so great and made me love

280
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 6: that song even more. Yeah, that's one of my faves.

281
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: Ooh, I love that. Such differing opinions there, So I

282
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: feel like Cozy and like you mentioned, Naisha, church Girl

283
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: were my favorites before I got to the concert. I

284
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: actually didn't really like America has a Problem before I

285
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: went to the show, But then when I went to

286
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: the show, I loved the performance of it, and I

287
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: really loved that little b outfit that she had on

288
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: for most of them most of America has a Problem,

289
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: and so I think that really took it over the

290
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: top for me. So Move I got into when I

291
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: started seeing people do choreography on TikTok. So there was

292
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: this one choreographer. I think in La and Kendall, who

293
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: ended up becoming one of her background dancers, was in

294
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: that video and really made me love that song. So

295
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: move wasn't one of my initial favorites until I saw

296
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: people dancing to it and Church Girl really just had

297
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: me because of the trigger Man beat. That's a New

298
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Orleans beat, and so it felt like it was home

299
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: for me for sure. So I know that there are

300
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: probably many, But is there one moment in particular from

301
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: one of the shows that you attended that has really

302
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: stuck with you.

303
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if it's cliche. It can't be cliche.

304
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 4: It's Beyonce, but just seeing her and Blue Ivy on

305
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 4: stage as a mom, like I have the recording from

306
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 4: when I was in Atlanta and I was like.

307
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: My baby, but I wasn't talking about Blue.

308
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 4: I was talking about just my own child because like

309
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: them on stage and then in New Orleans, like she

310
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: was crying, you know when Blue on stage, and just

311
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: her smile, the way she's smiling, That's how I am.

312
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 4: When I see my daughter accomplish anything, when she understands

313
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: how to define a specific bird, I'm just like, yes,

314
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 4: my child.

315
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: I was really emotional, and I have pictures.

316
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 4: I was really emotional seeing both them on stage, but

317
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 4: of course the entire concert, but those specific moments.

318
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 6: So my moment is actually not a Beyonce moment. So

319
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 6: I moved away from Chicago so I got to see

320
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 6: so many of my friends who were there at the show,

321
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 6: and having that moment with my friends because my view

322
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 6: at the concert actually ended up being obstructed and we

323
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 6: didn't know that before we bought the tickets, so I

324
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 6: didn't see as.

325
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 9: Much as y'all probably saw.

326
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 6: But really just being able to share that moment with

327
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 6: my friends, and we were all so.

328
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 9: Excited about our outfits.

329
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 6: Like I was referring to it as adult prom because

330
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 6: I can't remember the last time we would have been

331
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 6: so excited to get dressed.

332
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 9: I wore this.

333
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 6: Chain metal bra with pasties and it was like, girl,

334
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 6: who is this? I guess this is what I would

335
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 6: wear to my adult Beyonce prom. And so just the

336
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 6: joy of it and sharing it with my friends like that.

337
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 6: I can still remember it viscerally. It was such a

338
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 6: great time.

339
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have to say I thought it was very

340
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 7: clever how she opened the show. She said, let's get

341
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 7: these ballads out the way, and I loved it that.

342
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 7: I loved it. I think I needed like a moment

343
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 7: of calm. I thought it was beautiful. Just the arrangement

344
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 7: of all the ballads were really great. And so I'm

345
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 7: always in awe of Beyonce as a producer and how

346
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 7: she puts things together and how she thinks about things

347
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 7: visually and the experience for everyone. So I love that,

348
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 7: even the on screen graphics and visuals. I think that

349
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 7: was probably one of my favorite parts of the show,

350
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 7: especially while she wasn't on stage. I think you had

351
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 7: something to look at. I never felt bored. And then

352
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 7: hearing everyone singing cuff It, it just brought me so

353
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 7: much joy, Like that was the song where everyone knew

354
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 7: the lyrics. People were screaming at the top of their lungs.

355
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 7: I was on the floor, People's chairs were getting knocked over.

356
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 7: I was like, this is so much fun. It felt

357
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 7: like I was at Beyonce's rave, and so I really

358
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 7: did enjoy that, And it just came at the perfect

359
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 7: moment into the show, like you knew it was coming,

360
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 7: and that anticipation was like I'm ready to hear cuff It.

361
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 7: So I think those three stood.

362
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: Out to me.

363
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 2: I'll say for me, not any particular mute part of

364
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: the concert, but seeing creators on TikTok mashed them all

365
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: together in the different cities, that was priceless for me.

366
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: I love seeing Beyonce's reaction. Sometimes it was enthusiastic and

367
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: sometimes it was like y'all could have done better. So

368
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 2: seeing the difference between each city, I love that part.

369
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 8: I think I have a few different moments, like I

370
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 8: feel like in La the sequence from Heated to Thick

371
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 8: to all Up in your Mind stood out for me,

372
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 8: and Partition I just I love that song so like

373
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 8: it was just beautiful to see.

374
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 5: It on stage.

375
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 8: And then for Dallas, I think I was just a

376
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 8: lot more emotional. So like the things that stood out

377
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 8: for me, it's her performance of Flaws and all I

378
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 8: started crying, her performance with Church Girl, the costumes were

379
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 8: like incredible, and then also again started crying. And then

380
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 8: I think I also cried during Break My Soul. Because

381
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 8: my view and Dallas was a little further away. I

382
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 8: think I was able to see more of the bigger

383
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 8: picture stage, and I think that also altered it for

384
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 8: me because I was hearing new things in the pit

385
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 8: you're kind of like surrounded in there, like so many

386
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 8: different places that you can look, and you're mostly like

387
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 8: in the moment and dancing and like in the energy

388
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 8: of the people around you, which I also loved. But

389
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 8: it does change the way you experience it because that

390
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 8: Summer Renaissance moment from there was crazy because I literally.

391
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: Am convinced that she made eye contact with me because.

392
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 8: She was looking down and I was looking her dead

393
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 8: in the eye. So like, I think it just ended

394
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 8: my experience on such a high. But yeah, anyway, those

395
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 8: are the moments that stood out, like La versus Dallas

396
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 8: for me.

397
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 1: It feels really hard for me to pick a moment,

398
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: and because I have watched it so many times online,

399
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: I feel like I have trouble remembering like what I

400
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: actually saw at my show versus what I've seen on TikTok.

401
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: So I also want you all to weigh in on

402
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: whether you like, did not see anything before and kind

403
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: of went in fresh or you know where you like, Well,

404
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: I didn't watch very much before my show, but afterwards

405
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: I've just been watching a ton. But I think the

406
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: collective sense of joy that the whole experience right the

407
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: album to like getting the tickets to the tour, all

408
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: of it. The joy it has brought Black women has

409
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: just been like unimaginable to me, Like all the conversations

410
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: about what are we wearing and people getting on TikTok

411
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: letting us vote on their outfits. It just feels like

412
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: it has been such a communal kind of experience at

413
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: a time where I think a lot of people have

414
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: felt very low right coming off of whatever stage we

415
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: are in the pandemic, it just felt like it was

416
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: such a joyful experience. And even in her opening speech

417
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: at the Atlanta show, and I think at several of

418
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: the shows, she's talked about tonight being about joy, not

419
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: about being perfection, which I think is atypical for Beyonce

420
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: because she is, I think a bit of a perfectionist.

421
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: But I think she really just threw herself into the

422
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: joy of this, and like you could see how much

423
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: fun she was having on stage, which I think translated

424
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: to us in the audience and as we're watching clips.

425
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know that there was any particular moment,

426
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: but I think that the collective joy it has sparked

427
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: has definitely been my favorite moment of this whole experience.

428
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: So did you go into your show with no preconceived notions,

429
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: had you stayed off of social and not wanted to

430
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: watch clips, or how did you go into your shows?

431
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 8: I like watched nothing like I saw things obviously, but

432
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 8: the way I would scroll right on past. I think

433
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 8: the only thing I had watched was blues performances, just

434
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 8: because I feel like I just can't get over the

435
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 8: fact that she's like eleven years old in doing this,

436
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 8: because I think about myself at eleven, and there's no

437
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 8: way that you would have me standing on any stage

438
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 8: even if I had the talent to do it.

439
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 5: I'm not doing it.

440
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 8: And so I think that's another collective experience that like,

441
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 8: really honestly touches my heart every single time. Is that

442
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 8: the way that we all rally around this young woman

443
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 8: as she is coming of age in our space, And

444
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 8: I think it's honestly feels like an honor that Beyonce

445
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 8: is trusting us with that by like having her daughter

446
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 8: perform on stage and opening her up potentially to the

447
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 8: same types of caism that she experiences. But even in LA,

448
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 8: the chance for Blue were insane. You know, the Ivy

449
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 8: League is real. So I think it's just such a

450
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 8: magical moment.

451
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 7: I did not want to see any tour footage. I

452
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 7: had to know about the mute thing, so like I

453
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 7: was like, oh, what is this? Definitely caught up on

454
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 7: look around everybody on mute. But I didn't really watch

455
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 7: clips from the concert other than if my friends went.

456
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 7: But I was tuned into every outfit. I needed to

457
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 7: see it in motion, every outfit. I am praying that

458
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 7: she releases a coffee table.

459
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: Book of every look. I'm in awe.

460
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 7: But I think that was the part of the concert

461
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 7: I was tuned into from the first show. And then

462
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 7: I did see a TikTok at someone I think it

463
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 7: was a week before the Jersey show, someone pointing out

464
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 7: what she did in Europe that she has not done

465
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 7: in the States. And I watched that because I'm like, well,

466
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 7: that's not gonna be a spoiler. So yeah, I'm curious

467
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 7: what it was. What did she do in Europe that

468
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 7: she didn't do in the States. I think there was

469
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 7: a different melody into Heated, like Heated was different, and

470
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 7: some of just like the arrangements were different in general.

471
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 7: And then I think in Europe she performed a few

472
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 7: songs that weren't on renaissance that were different from the

473
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 7: non renaissance song she did.

474
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: In the States.

475
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, got it.

476
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 4: So I did not want to see anything, although of

477
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 4: course they had popping up on the feed most popular

478
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 4: with Blue Ivy and then seeing her growth that just

479
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 4: continued to bring so much joy.

480
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: But of just the.

481
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 4: Mute challenge, and now that I look back outside of

482
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 4: the States, they didn't know what they were doing. I'm sorry, y'all.

483
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 4: You know we held it down, but it was also new.

484
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: But it was just a ryfinic experience, some type of person.

485
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 4: I like to figure out things on my own. People

486
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 4: can give me all the negative reviews. Who's gonna try

487
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: it out? And that there's pros and cons to that obviously,

488
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: so people were like, Beyoncea's not dancing that much. My

489
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 4: friend was like, she broke her ankle. It was like,

490
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 4: what are y'all talking about? So when we got there,

491
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: my best friend I.

492
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: Was like, Jana, she's dancing. I told you she's dancing.

493
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: She's dancing.

494
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, this is why you can't listen to people.

495
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 4: In addition to that, I remember some I was like,

496
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: big Freda's going to be in New Orleans, and I

497
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, whatever, let's see. You can't listen to

498
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 4: people just enjoying your explusit me personally look forward to

499
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 4: the experience for yourself.

500
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: What about you, Lex, Had you stayed off of the videos?

501
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 6: I tried, but I'm chronically online, so there was no

502
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 6: way that I wasn't gonna see anything. So I did

503
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 6: my best. If I saw TikTok to just like swipe

504
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 6: really fast and like I would hit. Not interested for

505
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 6: the accounts that are reposting lots and lots of stuff,

506
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 6: but I had a feeling that I would see most

507
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 6: of it before I got there, which ended up being

508
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 6: good because my view was obstructed.

509
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: For me, I watched everything I saw.

510
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: I didn't really care to scroll through and like, oh,

511
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: I can't see it. No, I'm gonna watch it because

512
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: I still know I'm going to experience in a real

513
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: time after I had confirmed that I was going to

514
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: experience it, so before I didn't know if I was going.

515
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: Of course, I'm I'll watch the clips I see because

516
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm gonna go. So I was enjoying

517
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: seeing Blue, I was enjoying seeing her throw up the rock.

518
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: I was enjoying the commentary about Honey breaking their ankle.

519
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: I was enjoying every part of it. But I definitely

520
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: did not shy away from watching a TikTok or an

521
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 2: Instagram clip. But I still felt like I had my

522
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: own authentic experience, whether I watched it or I didn't.

523
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I agree with you. Like you, Lex, I'm

524
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: chronically online, and so I probably had seen most of

525
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: the tour. I had not seen a live stream of

526
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: it before my show, but I definitely had seen all

527
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: the clips that people had posted because it felt like

528
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: it was everywhere right, and probably because I was telling

529
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: the algorithm that I was interested, so it just kept

530
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: giving me more. But it felt very hard to kind

531
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: of scroll away without watching it, especially all of the

532
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: blue stuff more from our conversation after the break, So

533
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 1: because we have talked about blue, it seems like several

534
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: times I definitely want to dig into it. So I

535
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: was also someone who cried every time I saw videos

536
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: posted of blue coming up out of the ground, even

537
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: though I knew it was happening and I had already

538
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: seen it twenty five times before. And I think, like you, Nisha,

539
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: seeing your child walk out and do this thing and

540
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: become their own person. But I also think for me

541
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: it symbolized this excitement in this village, like you talked

542
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: about Cindy, that I wish all little black girls had.

543
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: Right there's cheering them on and we're all these virtual

544
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: aunties creating a safe space for them to like become

545
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: themselves and like just grow into their own person. So

546
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: I definitely felt very mood. I'm also a huge member

547
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: of the Ivy League now as well as the behive.

548
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: But did anything else come up for any of you

549
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: related to Blue Ivy, because I know that there were

550
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: a couple of shows that she did not perform at

551
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: in the States, though I don't think it was very many.

552
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: Did everybody see Blue Ivy at their show?

553
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 6: It rained, so Beyonce came out, I don't want to

554
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 6: say super late. What was it supposed to start at seven,

555
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 6: which we knew that's not what was going to happen.

556
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 6: But I don't think she came out until almost ten

557
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 6: because it had been raining. So I kind of assumed

558
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 6: Blue was not coming out, and I was okay with

559
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 6: that again because I'd.

560
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 9: Seen a lot online.

561
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 6: And then she came out for Chicago Night two, so

562
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 6: it was just the tiniest bit salty. But I also

563
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 6: have felt like a lot of pride and gratitude that

564
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 6: we've gotten to watch her get progressively better.

565
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 9: And I felt very protective early on.

566
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 6: When people are like, she's not a dancer, where I

567
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 6: wanted to be like, girl, you're not a dancer.

568
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 9: She is a child, and she's just getting started. Like

569
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 9: everybody came down.

570
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 6: So it was so nice seeing her get more and

571
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 6: more comfortable and do her little people like, yeah, I

572
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 6: loved seeing every clip of Blue.

573
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 3: Every clip that I saw.

574
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 4: Of course, with her just coming out the grounds you

575
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 4: mentioned that, Joe, It's just joyous. But just seeing like

576
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 4: the smile on Beyonce's face, that's my main takeaway is

577
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 4: like yes, mom, yes you didn't.

578
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 3: And this is her first child.

579
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: We experienced Beyonce giving us the REVEEO on the mcv

580
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 4: wast the VMA's eleven years ago, so it's like, oh

581
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: my goodness, just seeing all this together is just joyous.

582
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 4: But then also just seeing how she's growing, like even

583
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: her facial features in my mind like yep, that's jay

584
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 4: Z and Beyonce put together, like just like the you know,

585
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 4: the close ups, and then seeing her with her sparkle

586
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 4: of makeup, seeing her by her blue nails, throwing off

587
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 4: the rock. Of course she had on a New York shirt.

588
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 4: It's just amazing. I'm so happy for her. And I

589
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 4: was talking to my best friend. I was like, do

590
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 4: you think she's gonna keep her away from the entertainment industry?

591
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 4: And she's like, maybe she's just gonna allow her to

592
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 4: make that decision. But Beyonce knows because she experienced it.

593
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, So just like being a mom

594
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 4: in general.

595
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: I know, for me, I was so proud to see

596
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: my little cousin.

597
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 9: She did amazing.

598
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: I was eleven when she was born, so to see

599
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: like her progress, I consider her my little cousin.

600
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 9: To some she's niece.

601
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: Blue, she's my cousin, and my thoughts, oh so she's

602
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: my cousin. But now you your point. Seeing how proud

603
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: Beyonce was to see her child perform and with my mom,

604
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: it was just like, oh, that's a mom and daughter thing,

605
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: and it's just so cute to see that in real

606
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: time and like see their bond in real life and

607
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: not just through documentary or through her revealing her pregnancy

608
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: like I saw it in real time, in real life.

609
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: So it was just great to see. I'm just so

610
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: proud of Blue and to your point, likes the people

611
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 2: having so many comments about that baby, like let her

612
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: be a baby. I just never understand that. And it's

613
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: always been that kind of conversation with her, and so

614
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: just her being able to take ownership of who she

615
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: is and perform how she wants to and enjoy her time.

616
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: She reclaimed it and I love that for her eleven

617
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: year old self, and I'm just so proud of her.

618
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 7: Related to what Jana said, I thought it was funny,

619
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 7: like in a good way, the way people talked about

620
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 7: bou Ivy online, like she was crying at the last

621
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 7: show and people were like, I would cry too if

622
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 7: I had to go back to school, and I was like,

623
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 7: I know, she had the time of her life on

624
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 7: the tour, and so it was good to see people

625
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 7: really supporting her. And of course sometimes it was joking,

626
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 7: but like we get all the jokes about Blue being

627
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 7: the manager. Blue doesn't play whenever there were dancers Swiss

628
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 7: there or like Blue saw them slip up, And I

629
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 7: just love that we're giving her her props because the

630
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 7: talent's there. She's really a great dancer, so I don't

631
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 7: know what people have to say. And I saw another

632
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 7: TikTok that was night one. I think that was in Sweden,

633
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 7: maybe Reevereren night one was. And then to the final

634
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 7: night or like some of the last shows, and just

635
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 7: seeing how much he's improved, that's really beautiful. And I

636
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 7: hope she gets to look at that and really see like.

637
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: I killed it. I killed it.

638
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm curious to know, and we don't know anything about

639
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: these people, but I love having these arguments in my head.

640
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: How do you think this came about? Do you think

641
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: Blue said Mama, I want to be on tour and

642
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: like work me into it, or do you think it

643
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: was Beyonce's ideas to kind of incorporate Blue into the tour.

644
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 8: I was gonna say that I feel like it was

645
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 8: Blue's idea because I think she was probably always like around,

646
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 8: because you see in like the documentary she's around all

647
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 8: the time. I feel like she just started dancing with

648
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 8: some of the dancers or pulling around and then it's like, oh,

649
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 8: like maybe I want to try the routine or lead

650
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 8: a routine. And I think it was incremental thing because

651
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 8: I'm sure Beyonce has been working on this tour for

652
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 8: a very very long time, and so like Blue's been

653
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 8: there for all of it, because I can't really see

654
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 8: like Beyonce knowing all that she's been through, being like,

655
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 8: you need to get on stage with me for this

656
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 8: song and like, I think the song was chosen intentionally,

657
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 8: of course, but she doesn't give stage.

658
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 5: Mom like that.

659
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 8: I'm sure some of the performance days that she didn't

660
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 8: do was because she's literally like, I don't feel like

661
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 8: doing it today, and she's like okay, and then just

662
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 8: moved on, like and like, That's why I feel like

663
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 8: it was Blue's idea. And I think that's also sometimes

664
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 8: the very real sense of pride that you see in

665
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 8: her when she makes her mark or like improves it

666
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 8: a certain way. And the two dance answers that flank

667
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 8: her for the routine at all times, I think she

668
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 8: also feels so supported by them. Those are good people

669
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 8: that have probably been working on her like little tweaks

670
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 8: and stuff, and I think it's honestly, it feels like

671
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 8: such an intimate moment that we've actually been able to

672
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 8: like witness in real time. But I do think that

673
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 8: Blue got to choose to do this.

674
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it probably was Blue's idea and to

675
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: your point at least, like, you know, we joke about

676
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: her being a manager and like she's running the show.

677
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: But I feel like in some way some of that

678
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: is true, you know, as much as a childhood. And

679
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I also remember reading something about when

680
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: the costume designers like work with Beyonce, like they always

681
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: have like an outfit for Blue in case she wants

682
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: to do something right. And she was in the video

683
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: for My Power, right, So that is from the Blackest

684
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: King album, and so I think you're right, like it

685
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: was an incremental like, Okay, she was in the video.

686
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: She's kind of dabbling around because it's kind of like

687
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: take your kids to work day, right, and her mom

688
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: is just Beyonce, and so she's playing around singing on

689
00:32:59,280 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 1: brown Skin Girl.

690
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: Oh you know.

691
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: So it does feel like she has been able to

692
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: play in different things that were age appropriate, and it

693
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: feels like this was kind of like an opportunity like

694
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 1: a summer tour to kind of, you know, have your

695
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: summer internship dancing with your mom on her world tour.

696
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: So, doctor Joy, I understand you.

697
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 4: One summer internship we were joking like everyone's back to

698
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 4: school essays, Blue is going to have the best one.

699
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 4: But I guess I was thinking more about a business perspective.

700
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 4: If she marks her name on this right now, the

701
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 4: history is set, like I would saying when you mentioned

702
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: brown skinned girl, She's.

703
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 3: A part of the credits.

704
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 4: Those royalties are for life and now I'm waiting for

705
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 4: Roumi and sir and going from there. So that's mean

706
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 4: because I'm like, dance, she like, give a little hint, Blue,

707
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 4: you could do this, and then of course not forcing her,

708
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 4: like Blue, would you like to? And then she's like,

709
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 4: of course, now I'm already knew.

710
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now definitely she is very business savvy, right because

711
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: clearly Blue is credited on the tour as a dancer.

712
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, so we playing around, but she's still gonna

713
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: get like her me and Oscar and all the things.

714
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 8: Also just want to like give a cute little astrology

715
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 8: plug because Blue is a Capricorn.

716
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 5: Of course, and so but that's also.

717
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 8: Why I mean, like she got to choose in that way,

718
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 8: like if she's interested in coming to work with you,

719
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 8: because I feel like I was that kid who liked

720
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 8: to go to work with my mom. And see what

721
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 8: she was doing and like play around and all that.

722
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 8: My brother is not He's like, no, I don't want

723
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 8: to go. I don't want to come.

724
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 5: Leave me at home. I want to be like in leisure.

725
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 5: It's panned out to.

726
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 8: Who we also are in our adult lives a little bit.

727
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: We love it. We love a cute astrology moment there, Cindy.

728
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: So at least we're gonna start this question with you

729
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: because I feel like you are a resident fashionista. So

730
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: we saw over one hundred different looks from the tour

731
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: across Europe and across the US. If you had to pick,

732
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna limit us to one. If you had

733
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: to pick your top three favorite looks from the tour,

734
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: what would be your top three?

735
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 7: Ooh, this is really hard. So my number one is

736
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 7: the custom tel Far look. She did that one recently.

737
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 7: I absolutely loved that one. I was waiting to see

738
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 7: that shout out to she don't know her getting that

739
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 7: together because I was like waiting for tel Far. I

740
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 7: knew it was coming, So that was probably my favorite.

741
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 7: Then I'm gonna go to the Mark Jacobs. She got

742
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 7: a custom Mark Jacob's look remade. I'm trying to remember

743
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 7: which city it was in, but she had on was

744
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 7: it red dress in the black head piece or a

745
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 7: black head piece and a red I forgot which order

746
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 7: it was, but it was a recreation of a Mark

747
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 7: Jacob's look, but it was made by Mark Jacobs. And

748
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 7: then this is gonna be a little bit broad. But overall,

749
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 7: I actually don't think she missed with any of the

750
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 7: be outfits. But my favorite one was the very large hat.

751
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 7: I think it had antlers on it. I think that

752
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 7: was my favorite. But I'm gonna say like I was

753
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 7: very happy to see the tel Far outfit. I was

754
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 7: actually looking for more at leisure throughout the entire tour

755
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 7: because I thought just with some of the Chicago and

756
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 7: House references, we would get that streetwear look. So I

757
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 7: will say any look where she did streetwear was also

758
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 7: really good too.

759
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: Okay, at least you have said the boy really high,

760
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: because I do not know.

761
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 3: I know.

762
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: It's honest, no.

763
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 8: But like I also knew that like Elisa was probably

764
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 8: going to come prepare it a little bit, so I

765
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 8: did write down a few but because like I honestly,

766
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 8: since this tour rolled out, I need a coffee table

767
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 8: book immediately and like, especially because I think there's not

768
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 8: a dying art, but like there isn't as much appreciation

769
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 8: I feel like for costuming and Patoure in this way

770
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 8: and the craftsmanship and so like, I think this also

771
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 8: reinvigorated that because it's Beyonce and it's on such a

772
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 8: large stage, and the fact that for every city she

773
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 8: was being intentional about the looks that she was giving

774
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 8: for each performance. Even if she used a look again,

775
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 8: she was always changing something, and so I feel like

776
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 8: my favorite there was the multi colored Pucci from Dallas,

777
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 8: like the church Girl outfit, that heat reactivity that was

778
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 8: so dope to me. I just also loved the structure,

779
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 8: like I really like structured pieces. And then the b

780
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 8: costume or actually.

781
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 5: No it's not the Pouci, it was the riage.

782
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 8: It's like a Japanese designer at least help me out.

783
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 8: I don't know, but I did like the Puci multi

784
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 8: colored outfit that she did for I think night two

785
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 8: of LA's show. That one that a lot of people

786
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 8: didn't like, but I just loved how powerful the patterns

787
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 8: were clashing together. And then I just always loved the

788
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 8: flame outfit. The Kavali flame outfit is just a fame

789
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 8: for mine because I think I love flames.

790
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 6: So I don't know if I'll be able to pick three,

791
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 6: and they're all probably going to be a little basic,

792
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 6: but I love the beaf and then that beautiful gown

793
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 6: she was wearing when she's sitting on the piano and

794
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 6: she sings like turn a fan that outfit.

795
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 9: I thought that color looked so good on her.

796
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 6: But I really am also just obsessed with that final

797
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 6: all silver Summer Renaissance look where she's up above, like,

798
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 6: I just think she looks so ethereally on perfect. So

799
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 6: that's probably my three.

800
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: Okay, what about you, Jana?

801
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: Okay, similar to Lex put me on the spot with

802
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 2: three outfits, but if I had to pick very broad descriptions,

803
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 2: but she wore this pink gown, like very baby pink gown,

804
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: and so I like just how I mean, pink was

805
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: definitely the color this year, but I loved how light

806
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 2: it was and just how very like she looked. But

807
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: I also was super jealous that Houston Night one did

808
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 2: not get a red heated outfit. I was really disappointed

809
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 2: with that, but it looked so good on her, and

810
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: I really liked her opening dress. The polka dot. I've

811
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: heard a lot of comments that people didn't like it.

812
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 2: I personally loved it. It gave Southern bell, it gave

813
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: textan bell, so for me, it was on theme with

814
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: Houston and she just looked like she's from the South.

815
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: I loved it. But those would be my three if

816
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 2: I had to choose.

817
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good choices. What about your nation?

818
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 4: So I don't know the brand name, so shout out

819
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 4: to everyone who does you know the brand names? So

820
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: there were three heated costumes, and my favorite was the

821
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 4: gold the red pot. But the gold, yes, yes, yes,

822
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 4: the silver was okay, well, of course we still love

823
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 4: It's Beyonce. And then I love just seeing tel far

824
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 4: on stage, like are you kidding me? Hellone them burkins

825
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 4: are in storage, okay, Like I'm.

826
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: So happy, I'm so happy for them.

827
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 4: And then when I was in New Orleans, it was

828
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 4: pink Ivy Park glitter, and I'm like, who didn't even

829
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 4: buy that when it was available?

830
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

831
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 4: It's just so good and all the dances look so good,

832
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 4: So for sure, the pink glitter Ivy Park, I was

833
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 4: really loving it.

834
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 3: Was like slits on the side, loved it.

835
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that, So the colorful poochie

836
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: definitely was my favorite. I loved that. I think she

837
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: premiered that in for her birthday show and then she

838
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: did it I think both of the Houston Knights. That

839
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: was my favorite. I feel like I'm going to try

840
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: to find something like that for Halloween and be a

841
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: background dancer. That'll be my costume this year. But if

842
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: I feel like that's such an eccentric pattern, where am

843
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: I gonna find that from? But somebody will be able

844
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: to put it together. So that was definitely my favorite.

845
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: My second favorite was like a chartruse yellow greenish gown

846
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: that she wore one of the Knights. And then I

847
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: think my third favorite would have to be the pink

848
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: glitter as well. So she did it in New Orleans,

849
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: but I feel like we had seen it early in

850
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: the tour also because that was one of the outfits

851
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: she was wearing when there was one of the wardrobe

852
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: malfunctions when the Twins had to help her. I remember

853
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: she was wearing that hot pink. So the hot pink

854
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: definitely was my third favorite. But I also loved seeing

855
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: telfor and I was very surprised so at least. I

856
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: love hearing you say like you knew it was coming,

857
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: but I was definitely very surprised. And of course then

858
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: Telfour headed up on the website, so beautiful branding, beautiful

859
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: way to capitalize on their moment. I was very excited

860
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: to see them there. So why do you think silver

861
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: was the choice that she encouraged us to wear? Like,

862
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see. Is it something about the

863
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: silver that's gonna like just look very beautiful in the film,

864
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: Like did it capture well? Because I don't know that

865
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: I necessarily well, I guess of course the branding from

866
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: the album was silver, but I'm wonder why silver is

867
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: what she went to when she thought about like a renaissance.

868
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: Any thoughts there?

869
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 4: So I remember when she put out the CTA like,

870
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 4: this is what we're doing, not even CTA though, this

871
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 4: is what we're doing, and she said, we want to

872
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 4: be a big old disco ball, We're going to take

873
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 4: it back, we want to be happy, and it's going

874
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 4: to be his house music and his joy. And I

875
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, Beyonce, I feel you. At first, I

876
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 4: was like, is this gonna work? But when everybody came together,

877
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 4: it was just a sea of silver. It's like I

878
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 4: never want a full silver outfit. I even dye my

879
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 4: hair it was supposed to be silver, but I can

880
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 4: come out that way. But it's like what and I'm

881
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 4: like in my mind, I was like, look.

882
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: How powerful Beyonce is.

883
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 4: She literally told us, hey, color, She could have told

884
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 4: us to wear meon purple and everybody want to work

885
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 4: like oh when she put it out originally she said,

886
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 4: let's just be a sea of happiness.

887
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: And I felt it.

888
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 8: In terms of the silver, like I'm typically not a

889
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 8: silver girly, but it made sense for the album just

890
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 8: between the disco ball aliens are usually portrayed as silver.

891
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 8: Chrome as a metal is so futuristic, and I also

892
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 8: feel this album also kind of lives in that afrofuturism

893
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 8: place where it's thinking about this in an optimistic way,

894
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 8: like our futures can be filled with joy and are

895
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 8: filled with joy and kind of like transforming that pain

896
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 8: and so like, I feel like when you think of

897
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 8: futuristic things, it's very silver, and so it made sense

898
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,959
Speaker 8: from that perspective, but it was just like really hard

899
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 8: for me to be like, Okay, I now need to

900
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 8: find silver jewelry because I mostly wear like a lot

901
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 8: of gold.

902
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 5: But it was fun and.

903
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 8: I feel like now I have silver incorporated into my

904
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 8: wardrobe because I'm that type of person where I bought

905
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 8: all this stuff for the costume, but I'm going to

906
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 8: find a way to wear it and get multiple weares

907
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 8: out of it.

908
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 5: You know, girl math.

909
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 8: But yeah, so I feel like the silver really made

910
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 8: sense for the Renaissance album.

911
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: I was going to ask, at least any other fashion

912
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: moments that you want to make sure we have recorded

913
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: in our history.

914
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 7: I love to see Beyonce's relationship with Oliver Rusting of

915
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 7: Bambain because he gets so excited to create for Beyonce,

916
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 7: and I think he did maybe like four or five looks,

917
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 7: but when she wore that, I knew it was coming

918
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 7: because he's done other looks for her. And then her

919
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 7: off white Jacques Moose and Ralph Warren looks. The reason

920
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 7: I love them is because they're very much representative of

921
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 7: the brand, but still very Beyonce. She had like a

922
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 7: top hat on and her Ralph horn look. It was

923
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 7: all white, so that was really fun to see. And

924
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 7: then I like how she played around with lingerie.

925
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: That was really fun.

926
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 3: And I think she wore.

927
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 7: There's a brand it's called like on RealAge or on

928
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 7: Real Age, and it was this paneled construction. That is

929
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 7: my favorite look because it was just very unexpected, like

930
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 7: Beyonce was like a statue or like, I don't know,

931
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 7: some type of chic porta potty. She was just she

932
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 7: was just looking very statue as, like you couldn't see

933
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 7: her figure, and I thought that was very out of

934
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 7: character for Beyonce. But I loved how she just played

935
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 7: around with so many different designers. So that was probably

936
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 7: the look where I was like, she's having fun with it,

937
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 7: and so I was like, I'm proud of you, Beyonce.

938
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 7: But no, on the tel Far, Beyonce had a tell

939
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 7: far before a lot of other celebrities, so I knew

940
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 7: she was not going to miss that moment.

941
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: Reference.

942
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 4: I'm a fan of the brand, yes.

943
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 8: And that on RealAge is the outfit I was talking

944
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 8: about in Dallas because it also does that heat color changing,

945
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 8: like all the panels go from white multi colored, which

946
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 8: is really cool. I wanted to jump in and ask

947
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 8: a question for you guys, and don't judge me too

948
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 8: hard because I've never watched the Whiz from start to finish.

949
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 8: When you mentioned the top had it made me think

950
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 8: about what people were saying online about parallels to the

951
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,479
Speaker 8: Whiz and like Beyonce positioning herself as the Wiz, which

952
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's actually what she was doing,

953
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 8: but I thought that if she was like subtly telling

954
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 8: that story through the costuming, that that added a whole

955
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 8: very cool.

956
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 9: Element in there too.

957
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 6: It kind of felt like an easter egg, like there's

958
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 6: all these different theories.

959
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: So that's Joe.

960
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 4: You mentioned malfunction just one time, but I saw a

961
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 4: bunch of clips where things were malfunction, but she was

962
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 4: just smiling, just happy. And what it gave me was like, Masha,

963
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 4: something goes wrong, just keep going. Beyonce keeps going, just

964
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 4: keep going, no one knows, or just make a joke

965
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 4: out of it. Even New Orleans. Like her glasses got

966
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 4: stuck to her lashes a little bit, but she.

967
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 3: Kept on going, kept on going. That was a clatia.

968
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 3: Things are going to go wrong, the show still goes on.

969
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 4: So that's how I interpreted the malfunction taking place.

970
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: I love this. She becomes a little voice of affirmation

971
00:45:52,760 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: in your head. More from our conversation after the break,

972
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: So we now know that Beyonce has announced that the

973
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: visuals are coming to us in the form of a

974
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: feature film December first. So I want to hear from people.

975
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the film? Are you going

976
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: to go see it again in the theater, and what

977
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: are you expecting from the film?

978
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 6: Because I was again the chronically online front who stayed

979
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 6: up until tickets dropped, and We'll be flying back to

980
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 6: the city so that I can experience it with my friends,

981
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 6: because it's not going to be the same if I

982
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 6: go see it by myself, you know, and it's the experience,

983
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 6: like I'm going to expect the same sort of collective

984
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 6: joy that you mentioned, doctor Joy. And I think one

985
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 6: of the reasons I wanted to go to another show

986
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 6: and so many people went, is because you want to

987
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 6: experience that sort of like pure euphoria and sharing it

988
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 6: with other people. It's like, we don't get those moments,

989
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 6: and so I feel like doing that in the movie theater,

990
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 6: it's just gonna be the next chapter of that and

991
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 6: more people will be able to experience it because it's

992
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 6: not like you have to spend hundreds of dollars on

993
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 6: the ticket and you have multiple times to go, so

994
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 6: I can't wait to experience that again with my friends.

995
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: So yes, the ticket has been secured. I will be

996
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 2: attending the viewing the screening the concert Part two, and

997
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 2: I expect there to be singing. I expect it to

998
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 2: be a concert in the movie theater I'm hoping to see.

999
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 2: I want Blue to have her own section in this film.

1000
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 2: I would love to see her fears, her ups, her downs.

1001
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: I would just love to see her creative opinions that

1002
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 2: she had being who she is, and just her taking

1003
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 2: control of her artistry. Of course, I want to see Beyonce,

1004
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 2: but I would just love to see her children and

1005
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 2: seeing Rumi in the stand dancing with her sister, and

1006
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 2: like seeing her big sister perform. I would love love

1007
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 2: to see that aspect be a part of the film

1008
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 2: for sure.

1009
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 8: I also bought my ticket already for the film experience.

1010
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 8: I was still up last night, and I feel like

1011
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 8: what I expect is just the added depth to it,

1012
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 8: because I feel like we saw glimmers of it throughout,

1013
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 8: like the actual visuals and the touring experience with some

1014
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 8: of her speeches. I feel like those moments of reflection

1015
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,959
Speaker 8: just in the way that they like actually unfolded would

1016
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 8: be really cool to like have incorporated. I just expect

1017
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 8: that it's going to be fantastic and it's bar setting

1018
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 8: work and I know it's going to be good.

1019
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: What about you, Elise.

1020
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 7: I am looking forward to the behind the scenes moments.

1021
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 7: I think they're always great and Beyonce's narration is all beautiful,

1022
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 7: so I want to see what she's putting together. I'm

1023
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 7: curious to how much of like backstage we're going to

1024
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 7: see because we saw the picture of like Tiana, Taylor

1025
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 7: and jay Z, Like I want those moments. I want

1026
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 7: to know who was backstage key king with Beyonce after

1027
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 7: the show. And then also what is her recovery process?

1028
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 7: I hope she talks about that, like is she doing

1029
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 7: ice bass? Is there a sauna? Infrared? I just need everything.

1030
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 7: How does she decompress from performing every night for four months?

1031
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 7: Almost four months? So I'm really excited. I have my

1032
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 7: tickets as well. I'm going on the thirtieth. I don't

1033
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 7: want to miss anything. I'm not trying to wait. So yeah,

1034
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 7: I'm going on thirtieth latest show on the Thursday. I'm

1035
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 7: very excited.

1036
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 4: So exactly what Alisa was saying, I want to know

1037
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 4: the recovery process, Like I want Beyonce just to come

1038
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 4: to Sister Circle community check in. I'm like, Beyonce, how

1039
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 4: do you feel? Are you thankful that this is over?

1040
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 4: Are you excited?

1041
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 3: When? What is the emotion? I want to know?

1042
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 4: Again, being a mom, like down to and of course

1043
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 4: she has way more health than I do, but I

1044
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 4: just wanted to, like balance and even the emotional aspect

1045
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 4: being away from your children, if they were not able

1046
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 4: to travel to specific city, facetiming them in between shows,

1047
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 4: things like that. And then also she took off a

1048
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 4: couple of dates. I'm wondering how did she choose that

1049
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 4: priority to know when to go to a specific city

1050
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 4: versus family events, because there were some family events that

1051
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 4: took place and just just behind the scenes they were

1052
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 4: also I was, you know, checking out some of the

1053
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 4: dancers Instagram page or some personal moments that were shared,

1054
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 4: and I'm very confident that the tour helped get through

1055
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 4: dark moments in their lives. I'm curious that those are

1056
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 4: going to be shared on screen. I'm really for the

1057
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 4: behind the scenes. I just want to see her smile

1058
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 4: and just breathe. That's what I'm looking forward to.

1059
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: So I also stayed up for the announcement, but I

1060
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: have not yet bought my tickets for the movie because

1061
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I want to like see it

1062
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: immediately or if I want to wait until everybody else

1063
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: has seen it and like the theater will be empty

1064
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: and I can go enjoy it with myself, because I

1065
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: also feel like we are going to be in that

1066
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: cutting up, clowning and you're really not going to be

1067
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: able to hear, right, because people are going to think

1068
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,959
Speaker 1: they're at the concert again. So I'm debating on whether

1069
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: I probably will see it multiple times, but I have

1070
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: not as of yet bought a ticket. But I am

1071
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: also looking forward to the behind the scenes family stuff,

1072
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: mostly like someone you said, we already see clips of

1073
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: Roomy and Sir and Blue of course in the trailer

1074
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: that they've shared already, So I'm very excited to see

1075
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: more of the family time. And you know, like you

1076
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: pointed out, at least, what is the recovery, Like how

1077
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: do you maintain a voice across all of those shows

1078
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: and singing the way that she does, and like there

1079
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: weren't often more than a day in between shows, and

1080
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: so the recovery just must be immaculate, and so I

1081
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: would also love to see a glimpse into that, just

1082
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: because I think it would be really interesting. So I

1083
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: have one final question for us, But I also want

1084
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: to know if there are any burning questions that any

1085
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: of you have that you want to ask the rest

1086
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: of the group about the Renaissance experience.

1087
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 2: I have a question, so I'm curious to know who

1088
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 2: was the top special guest appearance in your opinion.

1089
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. So the special guest we had,

1090
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: we had Kendrick Lamar, we had Meg the Stallion, we

1091
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: had of course the illustrious Diana Ross. Was there anybody else?

1092
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 9: Dj Khaled was there?

1093
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 5: Wasn't he?

1094
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: I think he opened for some of the LA shows,

1095
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: but I don't think he was on stage at the

1096
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: same time as Beyonce was.

1097
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 7: I'll say the best opener had to be Kay Trinada,

1098
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 7: and I was hoping Kate Trenada would do more cities.

1099
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 7: So I was a little disappointed at that, but I

1100
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 7: thought that was the perfect opener and made the most

1101
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 7: sense compared to a lot of the other openers. But

1102
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 7: I have two answers Diana Ross, because I feel like

1103
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 7: a lot of people struggle. This is not a valid

1104
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 7: struggle to put Beyonce in like a legend category, and

1105
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 7: so I feel like to have Diana Ross come on

1106
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 7: stage put her in that category, and so I was

1107
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 7: very happy they did that. That was beautiful. When my

1108
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 7: sister went to that show, I'm very jealous, but Megan

1109
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 7: was amazing because I just think our girl needed that

1110
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 7: support during this time, you know, with all the like

1111
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 7: the trial verdict and all that stuff. And then two

1112
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 7: nights before at his show, Drake had shaded Meghan, and

1113
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 7: so for her to be on stage with Beyonce two

1114
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 7: days later, I was like, Yeah, this is just the

1115
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 7: perfect scenario, the perfect situation.

1116
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 3: We needed this.

1117
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 4: So I think those were my two favorites.

1118
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 5: Yeah. I love the Diana Ross moment.

1119
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 8: You could tell that it was such a surprise for

1120
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 8: her because like literally she just came out and she

1121
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 8: was thinking happy Birthday. And I actually don't even remember

1122
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 8: the sequence anymore because it was just like, what is happening?

1123
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 8: Because to at least's point, it does put her in

1124
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 8: that category, and like for someone like Diana to come

1125
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 8: and grace us with her voice, essentially for the price

1126
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 8: of your Beyonce ticket and just to celebrate, not even

1127
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 8: any special intro. She just came here to like help

1128
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 8: celebrate this moment. So I loved that that same show,

1129
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 8: like Kendrick, Mike messed up. I love that appearance, but

1130
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 8: I also feel like I didn't actually get to like

1131
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 8: experience it, experience it.

1132
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 5: The Mike did eventually.

1133
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 8: Come back on, but it did mess up that like

1134
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 8: opening moment for him.

1135
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go ahead and say Meg was my favorite

1136
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 6: because I think that was the first time that they'd

1137
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 6: ever performed that song together, if I'm not mistaken. And

1138
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 6: then just to see the little scream she did, but

1139
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 6: she's like I love your Beyonce, Like the little twirl

1140
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 6: in this World was just like it brought out the

1141
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 6: little girl in her like that just sort of unbridled

1142
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 6: joy was so exciting to see and to see Beyonce

1143
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 6: let her shine like that. It felt like such a

1144
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 6: a sisterhood moment, and I loved it.

1145
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 4: I agree with Lex there's literally a sisterhood moment both

1146
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 4: from the same town and just like I got you

1147
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 4: and I see you. That's what I felt from that moment,

1148
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 4: and then I forgot that year was But man, had

1149
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 4: tweeted I love you Beyonce a couple of years ago.

1150
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 4: To see that full circuit moment, He's like, yes, this

1151
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 4: look at you now. Okay, so forget the rest.

1152
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: Of them, Jana, how would you answer that question?

1153
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I agree with k Trinada, but I also

1154
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 2: believe in gate keeping Ka Trinada personally, so I was

1155
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 2: kind of just like, oh, like, why are you there?

1156
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 2: But I also loved Diana ross kenchick Lamar the mic.

1157
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 2: I was hoping he would pop up at another city

1158
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 2: and like redo it for the film. But I think

1159
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 2: my favorite was Kevin Prodigy. I loved seeing him in

1160
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 2: his element. That was amazing for Beyonce to provide him

1161
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 2: that opportunity, him being the voice of Renaissance, providing that

1162
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 2: space and like highlighting the work he has done for

1163
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 2: the community. I love seeing every part of it, and

1164
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 2: so I think he was my favorite performer personally because

1165
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,479
Speaker 2: he is the backbone of the album, so him having

1166
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 2: his time and taking it he did amazing, So he

1167
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 2: was my favorite.

1168
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: I love that we didn't have any openers or anything

1169
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, so there was nothing really for me to

1170
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: compare it to. But I definitely echo everything y'all have

1171
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: said about the Meg moment, that definitely felt like a

1172
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: sisterhood Heals moment to me. So it was absolutely beautiful

1173
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: to watch for sure. So to wrap us up, I

1174
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: want to ask you all so in her closing speech

1175
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: in most shows, Beyonce talks about hoping that you had

1176
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: a good time and that you can revisit the Renaissance

1177
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 1: anytime you feel like you needed. So I would love

1178
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: for you all to share how you are taking the

1179
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: Renaissance with you.

1180
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 4: I don't know why that's so difficult, but knowing that

1181
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 4: I stepped outside my comfort zone wearing a whole silver outfit,

1182
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 4: even dyeing my hair, just knowing that it was a

1183
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 4: moment for me, and then also experiencing a road trip

1184
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 4: with a great friend going to New Orleans, best friend flying.

1185
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 3: It was all a whole shebang, you know.

1186
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 4: And then we were there with Beyonce, and that's for

1187
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 4: Beyonce to me, she opened us up into her world

1188
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 4: with Blue and then just like, I'm going to give

1189
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 4: y'all a real deal here, And it's crazy because I

1190
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 4: went to the other Beyonce concerts, but this feels so different.

1191
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna just keep walking with it, and then

1192
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 4: of course social media is gonna keep blowing it up.

1193
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 3: We got the.

1194
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 4: Movie I just can't wait. I can't wait. So I'm

1195
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 4: still walking with it for sure.

1196
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 8: I'm taking the silver jewelry with me and the silver pieces.

1197
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 8: But I think the way that I feel like I'm

1198
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 8: carrying it forward is I'm just trying to find more

1199
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 8: moments of like community and like joy. I think, just personally,

1200
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 8: like I resonated so much with this album because.

1201
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 5: I have felt very disconnected for a little.

1202
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 8: Bit in various ways, and I think now with bringing

1203
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 8: all these different friends together, like being in community with

1204
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 8: arenas filled of people, it's just reminded me that I can,

1205
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 8: like continue to foster the communities that I have, both

1206
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 8: near and far.

1207
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 5: So that's why I did La, but we also did Dallas.

1208
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 8: And while we were in Dallas, we also had a

1209
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 8: baby shower for one of my good friends from college.

1210
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 8: And so I think it's this continuation of celebration at

1211
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 8: every milestone and opportunity. So like, I think, I'm just

1212
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 8: going to continue joy and celebration.

1213
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 6: So I spend so much time on my renaissance outfit

1214
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 6: and like even what I was going to wear the

1215
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 6: next day when we went to dinner and talked about

1216
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 6: the concert after we went, and I felt so pretty

1217
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 6: and like I got all of these compliments and I

1218
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 6: felt like I really tapped into Beyonce, like I'm that girl,

1219
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 6: right and so I felt very inspired. I felt very light,

1220
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 6: and so I feel like that's what I'm taking with

1221
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 6: me is when I listened to the music and I

1222
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 6: rewatch the videos, is like, right, Beyonce told me that

1223
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 6: I'm that girl, and I can embody that at any time.

1224
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 6: I don't have to wait for her to say, here's

1225
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 6: a concert, get cute and come see me. And so

1226
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 6: that was like something for me to put in my

1227
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 6: back pocket because it's easy to just.

1228
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 9: Chlep around when you work from home.

1229
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 6: So then I'm like, okay, yeah, right, I'm that girl

1230
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 6: right now and I can tap into that whenever I

1231
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 6: want to.

1232
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 7: I'm going to piggyback off of that. I felt like

1233
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 7: I don't wear like a lot of dresses, and I

1234
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 7: wore a dress, so that was something I was like, Okay,

1235
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 7: I'm dressing up for a concert. I'm wearing heels, like

1236
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 7: I'm very much a relaxed person in the concert setting.

1237
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 7: So making more moments in my life an event and

1238
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 7: putting that intention behind them. I'm not going to save

1239
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 7: this outfit for whatever thing in the future, like I'm

1240
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 7: going to use it now. And obviously Beyonce is a

1241
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 7: huge event, but I think it channeled that energy for me.

1242
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 2: I think for me, I'm going to take away the

1243
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 2: value and remembering that we're not monolithic and that everyone

1244
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 2: can show up in their unique way. Cliche a little bit,

1245
00:59:55,440 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 2: but I just think that the concert and the just

1246
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: reminded me of that, with the dancers being themselves, Beyonce

1247
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 2: giggling and being herself, and like just that affirmation because

1248
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 2: Beyonce is a perfectionist and what she does just to

1249
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 2: remind myself and people around me of like, you can just.

1250
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 9: Be you are and that's enough.

1251
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 2: Every day. Doesn't take one night for you to feel free.

1252
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 2: You are free, And so that was definitely a huge

1253
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 2: takeaway for me.

1254
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: I love that it's such beautiful answers, thank y'all. So

1255
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: definitely for me, I'm definitely taking the joy with me

1256
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: because again, I just feel like that was so contagious

1257
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: and I want to live in that space for as

1258
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: long as humanly possible. But as I was sitting there

1259
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: that night, I was definitely taking notes because podcasts, because

1260
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,919
Speaker 1: I knew we were going to talk about the Renaissance tour.

1261
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: And one of the notes that I wrote for myself

1262
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: was what is your stage? And this was my first

1263
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Beyonce concert, so I had not seen the queen before,

1264
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: even though I'm a huge fan, but I was giving

1265
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: birth for one of the tours, so I couldn't go,

1266
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: and then various circumstances, so this was my first time

1267
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: seeing her, and so I think seeing her on stage

1268
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: and she felt so at home and so at peace

1269
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: and was just letting all this love into her right

1270
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: like as we are cheering when she first comes on

1271
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: and giving her a standing ovation for like a minute

1272
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 1: or more. It just felt like we all have that space,

1273
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: even if it is not a stage, right, And so

1274
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: thinking about like what areas can I master? What areas

1275
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: of my life feel like my stage where I can

1276
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: show up in all of my glory and allow people

1277
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: to love on me and be excited and affirming of me.

1278
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: So that definitely is how I'm taking the Renaissance with

1279
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: me is continuing to think about what my stage is.

1280
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 9: That's so good doctor Joy, I'm going to be thinking

1281
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 9: about that for the rest of the day.

1282
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 3: That's really good.

1283
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 8: I literally got chills while you're saying that, because like,

1284
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 8: now I'm just gonna be ruminating about it. I'm probably

1285
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 8: have got a journal about it and trying to figure

1286
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 8: out what my stage is because this has been a

1287
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 8: summer of reinvention for me. I have been like overcoming

1288
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 8: a lot of burnout and so it's like, yeah, what

1289
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 8: is my stage and like, where is it that I

1290
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 8: can feel home? Because I think one of the special

1291
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 8: things about Beyonce clearly is that she loves performing this

1292
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 8: tour just like showed that she has fun with it.

1293
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 8: She's like, I see somebody in the crowd, let me

1294
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 8: do a cute little improv ad lib like what okay?

1295
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,919
Speaker 8: And so clearly this is that stage for her. And

1296
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 8: to your point, I feel like I always left feeling

1297
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 8: really inspired, but now I'm like, oh, there's a new

1298
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 8: way for me to think about that inspiration.

1299
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: I love that, And you know, we love a good

1300
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: journal prompt. So I love that y'all getting a journal
