Purple Pants Podcast | Beyoncé Bowl

Pull up your cowboy boots and get ready to ride! This episode is all about Beyoncé’s show-stopping Netflix performance on Christmas Day—aka the Beyoncé Bowl. I break down the powerful symbolism rooted in Black history, the Black origins of country music, and the undeniable theme of legacy woven throughout her Cowboy Carter album. Plus, we’re diving into the speculation surrounding January 14, 2025—could it mean new music, a tour, or something completely unexpected? Let’s unpack the brilliance of Queen Bey together!

[00:01:22] I feel like it's been such a long time since the baby boy has spoken to the posse

[00:01:28] We are in the midst of our holiday season

[00:01:32] We just celebrated Christmas

[00:01:34] Kwanzaa is happening

[00:01:35] Hanukkah is happening

[00:01:37] We all are off from work for a couple of days

[00:01:39] We're getting ready to go into the new year

[00:01:42] And I am very energized

[00:01:44] I'm excited about 2025

[00:01:47] Baby, 2024

[00:01:49] It was giving a lot of moving and shaking

[00:01:51] Baby boy was busy

[00:01:52] But I was so happy to spend time with my family for the holidays

[00:01:57] I'm not sure

[00:01:58] Purple Pants Posse

[00:02:00] If your family's like mine

[00:02:01] But sometimes the holidays don't go that well with the family, right?

[00:02:06] You know, you got people arguing

[00:02:07] You got people fighting

[00:02:08] I have to say this holiday season, Thanksgiving, Christmas

[00:02:13] It's really been such a wonderful time for my family

[00:02:17] We've had amazing memories this season

[00:02:20] It was so much fun

[00:02:21] Christmas was amazing

[00:02:23] There's a lot going on on Christmas

[00:02:25] But you know, that's, you know

[00:02:27] That's tis the season, right?

[00:02:29] And on Christmas, the NFL and Netflix

[00:02:32] They were doing this Beyonce special

[00:02:35] Now, normally, I spend the night at my mom's house, Barb

[00:02:39] On Christmas Eve

[00:02:41] Christmas Day

[00:02:43] However, I knew that Christmas Day

[00:02:46] Beyonce was going to be doing this

[00:02:48] Beyonce bowl on Netflix

[00:02:50] And my mom's husband, my stepfather, John

[00:02:53] He do a lot

[00:02:55] Like, he just does a lot

[00:02:56] Anytime that I go to my mom's home

[00:03:00] I always feel like I have to revert back to a 13-year-old kid

[00:03:05] I mean that in the sense

[00:03:07] Like, I can't do anything by myself

[00:03:09] My stepdad, John

[00:03:11] He gots to assist

[00:03:12] He know a better way

[00:03:14] He can show me something

[00:03:16] And I just knew

[00:03:18] For the Beyonce bowl

[00:03:19] I didn't have time for John's ish

[00:03:22] Because it's on Netflix

[00:03:24] You know what Netflix with

[00:03:26] I believe it was that Mike Tyson fight

[00:03:28] The streaming issue

[00:03:30] It was a big issue

[00:03:32] So, I

[00:03:32] I was like, I gotta go home on Christmas Day

[00:03:36] My mom's like, why you gotta go home?

[00:03:37] I said, listen

[00:03:38] Beyonce

[00:03:39] Is gonna be on our TV

[00:03:41] I don't have time for any foolishness

[00:03:43] And

[00:03:44] To

[00:03:45] Solidify

[00:03:46] Why I'm happy that I made the decision

[00:03:48] To go home

[00:03:50] Instead of staying another night

[00:03:52] 10 minutes

[00:03:53] Before the halftime

[00:03:55] Of the

[00:03:56] NFL

[00:03:57] Netflix game

[00:03:58] I called my mom

[00:03:59] FaceTimer

[00:04:00] I'm like, mom

[00:04:01] Are y'all

[00:04:02] You got the TV on?

[00:04:03] My mom flipped the camera

[00:04:05] John standing on a ladder

[00:04:08] The back of the TV

[00:04:09] In the living room

[00:04:10] Talking about

[00:04:11] The connection was best

[00:04:13] If I would've been

[00:04:14] At my parents' home

[00:04:16] And this would've been happening

[00:04:17] 10 minutes

[00:04:18] Before Beyonce was

[00:04:19] Ready to

[00:04:19] Take the stage

[00:04:23] You know your baby boy

[00:04:24] Is on a road

[00:04:25] To a better Bryce

[00:04:26] I'm not sure

[00:04:26] I would've been on that road

[00:04:28] At that time

[00:04:30] Four minutes into the

[00:04:31] Beyonce performance

[00:04:32] My mom calls me back

[00:04:33] First of all

[00:04:33] I'm like, what do you want?

[00:04:35] Beyonce on

[00:04:36] My mom's like

[00:04:37] John got the TV together

[00:04:39] Yeah, like

[00:04:39] What?

[00:04:40] What?

[00:04:42] Anyway

[00:04:42] Anyway, I digress

[00:04:43] Family

[00:04:45] Happy

[00:04:45] Very grateful

[00:04:46] To have them

[00:04:47] But this Beyonce bowl

[00:04:49] The Cowboy Carter album

[00:04:52] Has been truly amazing

[00:04:54] And I just felt like

[00:04:55] It is

[00:04:56] Something that I was like

[00:04:57] You know what?

[00:04:58] I need to talk about

[00:04:59] Because

[00:04:59] This Beyonce bowl

[00:05:01] On Netflix

[00:05:02] Really

[00:05:04] Was an amazing performance

[00:05:05] First of all

[00:05:06] You know

[00:05:06] I live for a free

[00:05:07] Beyonce performance

[00:05:08] Because the renaissance

[00:05:09] I didn't swipe my credit card for

[00:05:12] I didn't have to swipe my credit card

[00:05:14] I could just sit at home

[00:05:15] And watch it

[00:05:15] However

[00:05:16] Beyonce is always going to deliver

[00:05:18] An amazing performance

[00:05:19] Point blank period

[00:05:20] And if you're not a Beyonce fan

[00:05:22] You can

[00:05:22] Exit this podcast now

[00:05:24] Because

[00:05:25] And also

[00:05:26] Let me just say this

[00:05:27] I'm not a huge Beyonce fan

[00:05:28] I'm more of a

[00:05:29] Destiny's Child fan

[00:05:30] But

[00:05:31] I love all of the girls

[00:05:32] Of Destiny's Child

[00:05:33] Beyonce included

[00:05:33] However

[00:05:34] This performance

[00:05:35] Of Beyonce

[00:05:36] On Christmas Day

[00:05:37] Was just

[00:05:38] So powerful

[00:05:39] And especially

[00:05:39] Coming off of

[00:05:40] Cowboy Carter

[00:05:42] Her album

[00:05:43] That she dropped

[00:05:44] Almost a year ago

[00:05:45] And this is the first

[00:05:46] Performance ever

[00:05:47] From the album

[00:05:48] There was just

[00:05:49] So many

[00:05:50] Amazing

[00:05:51] Symbolisms

[00:05:52] In this performance

[00:05:54] That I was like

[00:05:55] I have to podcast

[00:05:56] About this

[00:05:57] I have to talk

[00:05:58] To somebody

[00:05:59] About this

[00:06:00] Because

[00:06:01] It really was

[00:06:02] So powerful

[00:06:03] And even when we can

[00:06:04] Take it back to

[00:06:05] The Cowboy Carter

[00:06:07] Era album

[00:06:08] Beyonce releasing

[00:06:09] A country album

[00:06:10] And people be like

[00:06:11] Why is she releasing

[00:06:12] A country album

[00:06:12] Baby

[00:06:13] Black people

[00:06:14] Are the foundations

[00:06:16] The creation

[00:06:18] Of country music

[00:06:20] And Beyonce's from

[00:06:22] Texas

[00:06:22] Houston, Texas

[00:06:23] Like

[00:06:24] She's a country girl

[00:06:25] It only makes sense

[00:06:26] And so there has just been

[00:06:27] So much controversy

[00:06:29] I.E. racism

[00:06:31] But you know

[00:06:31] That's a story

[00:06:32] For another day

[00:06:33] Surrounding this

[00:06:34] And then

[00:06:35] For her

[00:06:36] A year later

[00:06:37] To then

[00:06:38] Perform

[00:06:39] The only performances

[00:06:40] That we have ever

[00:06:41] Gotten

[00:06:42] From Beyonce

[00:06:43] In regards

[00:06:44] To Cowboy Carter

[00:06:45] Because we're still

[00:06:46] Waiting for the visuals

[00:06:47] From Renaissance

[00:06:48] But I digress

[00:06:50] Because I'm not

[00:06:50] Going to cuss

[00:06:51] Beyonce out

[00:06:51] On this

[00:06:52] Beyonce bowl

[00:06:53] Podcast

[00:06:54] But it just

[00:06:55] Truly was

[00:06:56] So amazing

[00:06:57] And so

[00:06:58] I was taking notes

[00:06:59] I've been

[00:07:00] On TikTok

[00:07:01] I've been

[00:07:01] On X

[00:07:03] I've been

[00:07:03] On Blue Sky

[00:07:04] And the

[00:07:05] Just the conversation

[00:07:06] About the performances

[00:07:07] What's next

[00:07:08] Is so amazing

[00:07:10] I love it

[00:07:11] And so I've been

[00:07:12] Taking notes

[00:07:12] I've been

[00:07:12] Writing down things

[00:07:13] I've been

[00:07:14] Just jotting

[00:07:14] And I said

[00:07:15] You know what

[00:07:15] Let me share this

[00:07:16] With the posse

[00:07:17] Because there's

[00:07:19] Just so much

[00:07:20] And I'm sure

[00:07:20] I didn't even

[00:07:20] Capture everything

[00:07:21] But I wanted

[00:07:22] To share

[00:07:22] Some of the

[00:07:23] Things that

[00:07:24] I found

[00:07:25] Truly impactful

[00:07:26] About Beyonce's

[00:07:28] Superbowl

[00:07:29] And I keep

[00:07:30] Saying Superbowl

[00:07:31] Beyonce's

[00:07:32] Christmas day

[00:07:33] Because this

[00:07:34] This wasn't

[00:07:35] Even the Superbowl

[00:07:36] Beyonce gave us

[00:07:37] The Superbowl

[00:07:38] On Christmas day

[00:07:39] Halftime

[00:07:40] On Netflix

[00:07:41] And there's

[00:07:42] Just so much

[00:07:43] To unpack

[00:07:43] So I really

[00:07:43] Want to just

[00:07:44] Go through my

[00:07:45] Notes

[00:07:45] And I hope

[00:07:46] You know

[00:07:46] Any Beyonce fans

[00:07:47] Any music fans

[00:07:48] Any country fans

[00:07:49] Out there

[00:07:50] You know

[00:07:51] Let's have

[00:07:52] A little history

[00:07:53] Lesson

[00:07:53] Let's talk

[00:07:54] About some

[00:07:54] Things

[00:07:54] Because I've

[00:07:54] Done some

[00:07:55] Research

[00:07:55] I've been

[00:07:56] Googling

[00:07:56] I've been

[00:07:57] Watching the

[00:07:57] TikToks

[00:07:58] And I just

[00:07:58] Want to get

[00:07:58] Into it

[00:07:59] Real quick

[00:07:59] So the

[00:08:01] Beyonce

[00:08:01] Bowl

[00:08:02] Halftime

[00:08:03] Christmas day

[00:08:04] Performance

[00:08:04] Starts off

[00:08:05] With a

[00:08:06] Pre-recorded

[00:08:09] Videotape

[00:08:09] Of Beyonce

[00:08:10] On a

[00:08:12] White horse

[00:08:12] Singing

[00:08:13] 16 carriages

[00:08:14] From the

[00:08:15] Album

[00:08:16] Cowboy Carter

[00:08:17] 16 carriages

[00:08:18] In my opinion

[00:08:19] Is one of

[00:08:21] The most

[00:08:23] Forthcoming

[00:08:24] Personal

[00:08:25] And honest

[00:08:26] Song that

[00:08:27] We've ever

[00:08:27] Really got

[00:08:28] From Beyonce

[00:08:29] So for her

[00:08:30] To start off

[00:08:31] With that

[00:08:31] Song

[00:08:32] In my

[00:08:33] Very important

[00:08:34] Right

[00:08:35] Like and it's

[00:08:35] Just talking

[00:08:35] About like

[00:08:36] 16 carriages

[00:08:37] She's been

[00:08:38] On this

[00:08:39] Journey

[00:08:39] Of stardom

[00:08:41] Music

[00:08:42] For her

[00:08:43] Whole life

[00:08:44] And she

[00:08:45] Grew up

[00:08:45] At an early

[00:08:46] Age

[00:08:46] She had to

[00:08:47] Leave her

[00:08:47] Home

[00:08:47] She became

[00:08:48] The breadwinner

[00:08:49] She saw

[00:08:50] Her mother

[00:08:51] Crying

[00:08:52] Her daddy

[00:08:52] Lying

[00:08:53] Just a very

[00:08:55] Powerful song

[00:08:56] I remember

[00:08:56] This time last

[00:08:57] Year during

[00:08:57] My birthday

[00:08:59] This song

[00:09:00] Really meant

[00:09:00] A lot to me

[00:09:00] She was just

[00:09:01] Talking about

[00:09:01] Like 38

[00:09:02] Summers

[00:09:03] On the back

[00:09:04] Of the bus

[00:09:05] Like essentially

[00:09:05] Like being on

[00:09:06] Tour all summer

[00:09:07] Losing time

[00:09:08] From family

[00:09:10] And friends

[00:09:10] Because she's

[00:09:11] A performer

[00:09:12] It's just a

[00:09:12] Very powerful

[00:09:13] Song so if

[00:09:14] You haven't

[00:09:14] Never gotten

[00:09:14] Into 16

[00:09:15] Carriages

[00:09:15] Take this

[00:09:17] As your

[00:09:17] Message

[00:09:17] However

[00:09:18] Beyonce

[00:09:19] Is coming

[00:09:19] In on a

[00:09:20] White horse

[00:09:21] That's the

[00:09:22] First symbol

[00:09:23] That we

[00:09:23] Really see

[00:09:24] In

[00:09:25] Our

[00:09:26] American

[00:09:26] History

[00:09:27] When you

[00:09:28] Look at

[00:09:28] Old western

[00:09:29] Videos

[00:09:29] Normally the

[00:09:30] Hero comes

[00:09:31] In on a

[00:09:32] White horse

[00:09:33] It symbolizes

[00:09:34] The American

[00:09:36] Spirit

[00:09:36] A hero

[00:09:38] Coming in

[00:09:39] To save

[00:09:39] The day

[00:09:40] But more

[00:09:41] Specifically this

[00:09:42] White horse

[00:09:43] That Beyonce

[00:09:43] Is on

[00:09:44] Is a

[00:09:45] Lipison horse

[00:09:46] And those

[00:09:47] Horses are

[00:09:48] Very special

[00:09:48] It's a

[00:09:48] White horse

[00:09:49] Right

[00:09:49] But it's

[00:09:51] Born

[00:09:51] When it

[00:09:53] Is born

[00:09:53] It's born

[00:09:54] Black

[00:09:55] Or gray

[00:09:56] And as it

[00:09:57] Matures

[00:09:58] It turns

[00:09:59] White

[00:10:00] The color

[00:10:01] That we see

[00:10:01] And a lot

[00:10:02] Of people

[00:10:03] Speculate

[00:10:03] That she

[00:10:04] Is using

[00:10:04] This horse

[00:10:05] Specifically

[00:10:06] For Cowboy

[00:10:07] Carter

[00:10:07] To talk

[00:10:08] About the

[00:10:08] History

[00:10:09] Of country

[00:10:10] Music

[00:10:11] Where it

[00:10:12] Is born

[00:10:13] Out of

[00:10:14] Blackness

[00:10:15] Black

[00:10:15] People

[00:10:16] There is

[00:10:17] Countless

[00:10:18] Documentations

[00:10:20] Of black

[00:10:21] Artists

[00:10:22] That were

[00:10:23] Singing

[00:10:23] This genre

[00:10:24] That it

[00:10:25] Wasn't even

[00:10:26] Called country

[00:10:27] At the time

[00:10:27] They're singing

[00:10:28] These musics

[00:10:29] And they

[00:10:30] Were the

[00:10:30] Teachers

[00:10:31] To what

[00:10:32] People perceive

[00:10:33] As the

[00:10:33] First country

[00:10:34] Artists

[00:10:34] White

[00:10:35] Folks

[00:10:36] However

[00:10:36] The people

[00:10:38] That taught

[00:10:38] Them this

[00:10:39] Music

[00:10:39] This genre

[00:10:40] Were black

[00:10:41] People

[00:10:41] You can even

[00:10:42] Think about

[00:10:43] Like just

[00:10:43] Genres in

[00:10:44] General

[00:10:45] I've done

[00:10:46] Like a

[00:10:46] Deep dive

[00:10:47] On

[00:10:48] Genres of

[00:10:49] Music

[00:10:49] And what

[00:10:51] I've learned

[00:10:51] From genres

[00:10:52] Of music

[00:10:53] Is that

[00:10:54] It really

[00:10:55] Just

[00:10:55] Was

[00:10:56] The foundation

[00:10:57] Of these

[00:10:59] Big

[00:10:59] Labels

[00:11:00] Or people

[00:11:01] Trying to

[00:11:01] Sell music

[00:11:02] And how

[00:11:02] To categorize

[00:11:03] It

[00:11:03] And which

[00:11:04] Markets

[00:11:04] They can

[00:11:06] Serve to

[00:11:07] Because

[00:11:08] Early on

[00:11:09] When black

[00:11:10] People

[00:11:10] Created music

[00:11:11] There was a

[00:11:12] Genre called

[00:11:12] Race music

[00:11:13] So you could

[00:11:14] Be black

[00:11:15] And you could

[00:11:15] Sing

[00:11:16] Country

[00:11:17] You could

[00:11:17] Sing blues

[00:11:18] You could

[00:11:18] Sing r&b

[00:11:19] And it

[00:11:20] Would just

[00:11:21] Be considered

[00:11:21] Race music

[00:11:22] Because they

[00:11:23] Would only

[00:11:23] Play race

[00:11:24] Music

[00:11:24] On urban

[00:11:25] Radio

[00:11:26] And so

[00:11:27] In the

[00:11:28] History

[00:11:28] Of the

[00:11:30] Music

[00:11:30] Industry

[00:11:30] I believe

[00:11:31] The first

[00:11:31] Recording artist

[00:11:32] To ever

[00:11:33] Record a

[00:11:33] Song

[00:11:34] It wasn't

[00:11:35] A song

[00:11:35] It was

[00:11:36] Stolen

[00:11:36] From

[00:11:37] A black

[00:11:38] Person

[00:11:39] And so

[00:11:40] Just this

[00:11:40] History

[00:11:41] Of

[00:11:43] Everything

[00:11:44] In the

[00:11:44] Music

[00:11:44] Industry

[00:11:45] And so

[00:11:45] For Beyonce

[00:11:46] To come out

[00:11:46] On this

[00:11:47] Lipizzan

[00:11:47] Horse

[00:11:48] That is

[00:11:49] White

[00:11:49] However

[00:11:51] It's

[00:11:51] Born

[00:11:52] Black

[00:11:52] Just so

[00:11:53] Powerful

[00:11:54] And as

[00:11:55] She is

[00:11:55] On this

[00:11:56] White horse

[00:11:57] Walking down

[00:11:58] This striped

[00:12:00] Red and

[00:12:00] Right

[00:12:00] Red and

[00:12:02] White path

[00:12:02] As she is

[00:12:03] Singing the

[00:12:04] Song

[00:12:04] A lot of

[00:12:05] People make

[00:12:05] The connection

[00:12:06] Of this

[00:12:07] Red and

[00:12:08] White flag

[00:12:09] To the

[00:12:09] American flag

[00:12:10] However

[00:12:11] It reminds

[00:12:12] A lot of

[00:12:12] People of

[00:12:13] Alice in

[00:12:13] Wonderland

[00:12:14] From the

[00:12:15] Yellow brick

[00:12:15] Road

[00:12:16] And the

[00:12:16] Connection

[00:12:17] Of like

[00:12:17] Traveling

[00:12:18] A path

[00:12:19] Towards

[00:12:20] Emerald

[00:12:21] City

[00:12:21] And if

[00:12:22] You remember

[00:12:23] The Wizard

[00:12:23] Of Oz

[00:12:24] Like the

[00:12:24] Yellow brick

[00:12:25] Road

[00:12:25] The yellow

[00:12:26] Brick

[00:12:26] Road

[00:12:27] Dorothy

[00:12:28] Was trying

[00:12:28] To get

[00:12:29] To the

[00:12:29] Wizard

[00:12:29] The Wizard

[00:12:30] Of Oz

[00:12:30] However

[00:12:30] When you

[00:12:31] Pull back

[00:12:31] The curtain

[00:12:32] When Dorothy

[00:12:32] Got there

[00:12:33] She realized

[00:12:34] The wizard

[00:12:34] Really wasn't

[00:12:35] The wizard

[00:12:37] Right

[00:12:37] And

[00:12:40] Symbolism

[00:12:40] Beyonce

[00:12:41] On this

[00:12:42] Path

[00:12:42] Right

[00:12:42] This striped

[00:12:43] Path that

[00:12:48] Singing

[00:12:49] 16 carriages

[00:12:50] From

[00:12:50] From

[00:12:51] The cowboy

[00:12:52] Carter

[00:12:53] Album

[00:12:53] Which is

[00:12:53] A country

[00:12:54] Album

[00:12:54] And so

[00:12:55] Many people

[00:12:55] Have been

[00:12:56] Saying

[00:12:56] Oh

[00:12:56] She's

[00:12:57] Not

[00:12:58] Country

[00:12:58] She's

[00:12:59] Not

[00:12:59] This

[00:12:59] No

[00:13:00] Baby

[00:13:01] She is

[00:13:02] Country

[00:13:04] Like

[00:13:04] Black people

[00:13:05] Have birthed

[00:13:06] Country music

[00:13:07] And so

[00:13:07] When you

[00:13:07] Pull that

[00:13:08] Curtain

[00:13:08] You

[00:13:09] On the

[00:13:09] Yellow brick

[00:13:10] Road

[00:13:10] You see

[00:13:11] What the

[00:13:11] Big wizard

[00:13:12] Is

[00:13:12] You remember

[00:13:12] What happened

[00:13:13] On the

[00:13:14] Wizard of

[00:13:14] Oz

[00:13:15] The big

[00:13:16] Wizard

[00:13:17] Wasn't

[00:13:17] Really

[00:13:17] What we

[00:13:18] Thought

[00:13:18] And again

[00:13:19] Just

[00:13:19] More

[00:13:20] Symbolism

[00:13:21] Right

[00:13:21] Like

[00:13:21] Black people

[00:13:22] Have created

[00:13:23] The music

[00:13:24] They've

[00:13:25] Been the

[00:13:26] Foundation

[00:13:27] Of this

[00:13:28] But it

[00:13:29] Gets

[00:13:29] Erased

[00:13:30] It gets

[00:13:31] Robbed

[00:13:31] From us

[00:13:32] And so

[00:13:32] With her

[00:13:34] Doing

[00:13:34] This country

[00:13:35] Album

[00:13:36] With her

[00:13:36] Doing these

[00:13:37] Three acts

[00:13:37] Bringing that

[00:13:38] Representation

[00:13:39] To the

[00:13:40] Forefront

[00:13:41] Who

[00:13:41] Is so

[00:13:43] Powerful

[00:13:43] It's also

[00:13:45] Important

[00:13:46] To think

[00:13:46] About

[00:13:47] When we

[00:13:47] Think about

[00:13:47] The yellow

[00:13:48] Brick road

[00:13:48] Right

[00:13:49] That also

[00:13:50] Symbolizes

[00:13:51] The gold

[00:13:52] Standard

[00:13:53] A lot of

[00:13:53] People

[00:13:53] Relate the

[00:13:54] Gold

[00:13:55] Standard

[00:13:55] To the

[00:13:56] American

[00:13:56] Dream

[00:13:57] And when

[00:13:57] You think

[00:13:58] About the

[00:13:58] American

[00:13:58] Dream

[00:13:59] For immigrants

[00:14:00] Across the

[00:14:01] World

[00:14:02] You know

[00:14:03] You can

[00:14:03] Come here

[00:14:03] You can

[00:14:04] Be who

[00:14:04] You want

[00:14:04] You can

[00:14:05] Make this

[00:14:06] Great life

[00:14:06] For you

[00:14:07] And

[00:14:07] Look at

[00:14:08] Beyonce

[00:14:09] Right

[00:14:09] Like this

[00:14:10] Black woman

[00:14:10] On this

[00:14:11] White

[00:14:11] Like

[00:14:11] Just

[00:14:12] We're not

[00:14:13] Tell you

[00:14:14] The time

[00:14:15] The thought

[00:14:16] That Beyonce

[00:14:17] Puts into

[00:14:18] These

[00:14:20] Images

[00:14:20] These performances

[00:14:21] We're always

[00:14:22] Just on an

[00:14:23] Easter

[00:14:23] Acorn

[00:14:23] And just

[00:14:25] Red

[00:14:25] Right

[00:14:26] And

[00:14:26] Red

[00:14:26] White

[00:14:27] And blue

[00:14:27] That red

[00:14:28] And white

[00:14:29] Striped

[00:14:30] Path

[00:14:30] That she's

[00:14:31] On

[00:14:31] That we

[00:14:32] Can then

[00:14:32] Take it

[00:14:32] To the

[00:14:32] Yellow

[00:14:33] Brick

[00:14:33] Road

[00:14:33] That we

[00:14:34] Can

[00:14:34] Then take

[00:14:34] It to

[00:14:35] The

[00:14:35] Gold

[00:14:35] Standard

[00:14:36] That we

[00:14:36] Then can

[00:14:37] Think of

[00:14:37] The American

[00:14:38] Dream

[00:14:38] Dream

[00:14:39] And

[00:14:39] Although

[00:14:41] We don't

[00:14:42] Really feel

[00:14:42] Like the

[00:14:43] American

[00:14:43] Dream

[00:14:43] Is for

[00:14:44] Us

[00:14:44] Black

[00:14:44] And

[00:14:44] Brown

[00:14:45] People

[00:14:45] In spite

[00:14:46] Of that

[00:14:47] All

[00:14:47] Here

[00:14:48] Beyonce

[00:14:48] Is

[00:14:49] On a

[00:14:49] White

[00:14:49] Horse

[00:14:50] On Christmas

[00:14:51] Day

[00:14:52] For the

[00:14:53] First

[00:14:53] Time

[00:14:54] Ever

[00:14:54] Performing

[00:14:54] These

[00:14:55] Songs

[00:14:55] From

[00:14:55] Her

[00:14:56] Country

[00:14:56] Album

[00:14:57] That

[00:14:57] People

[00:14:57] Say

[00:14:58] She's

[00:14:58] Not

[00:14:58] Country

[00:14:59] But

[00:14:59] She

[00:14:59] Is

[00:14:59] Showing

[00:15:00] Us

[00:15:00] That

[00:15:01] We

[00:15:02] Are

[00:15:02] Country

[00:15:02] Woo

[00:15:03] Y'all

[00:15:04] Don't

[00:15:04] Hear

[00:15:04] Me

[00:15:04] Like

[00:15:05] It

[00:15:05] Is

[00:15:05] Just

[00:15:05] So

[00:15:05] Crazy

[00:15:06] Just

[00:15:06] The

[00:15:06] Thought

[00:15:07] Process

[00:15:07] Of

[00:15:08] This

[00:15:09] Genius

[00:15:10] It

[00:15:11] Is

[00:15:11] Remarkable

[00:15:12] As

[00:15:13] She

[00:15:13] Is

[00:15:13] Singing

[00:15:14] 16

[00:15:14] Carriages

[00:15:15] Walking

[00:15:16] Down

[00:15:16] This

[00:15:16] Path

[00:15:16] We

[00:15:17] See

[00:15:19] These

[00:15:19] Images

[00:15:20] Of

[00:15:20] These

[00:15:20] Black

[00:15:21] Cowboys

[00:15:22] Standing

[00:15:23] On

[00:15:23] Horses

[00:15:24] Which

[00:15:25] Date

[00:15:25] Back

[00:15:25] To

[00:15:26] The

[00:15:26] Black

[00:15:27] Cowboys

[00:15:28] Right

[00:15:28] Because

[00:15:28] Let's

[00:15:29] Be

[00:15:29] Real

[00:15:29] When

[00:15:30] You

[00:15:30] Think

[00:15:30] About

[00:15:30] Cowboys

[00:15:30] You

[00:15:31] Don't

[00:15:31] Necessarily

[00:15:31] Think

[00:15:31] About

[00:15:32] Black

[00:15:32] People

[00:15:32] However

[00:15:33] In

[00:15:34] Recent

[00:15:34] History

[00:15:34] We

[00:15:35] Have

[00:15:35] Learned

[00:15:35] About

[00:15:36] The

[00:15:36] Black

[00:15:36] Cowboys

[00:15:37] Standing

[00:15:38] On

[00:15:38] Horses

[00:15:38] And

[00:15:39] All

[00:15:39] Of

[00:15:39] These

[00:15:40] Different

[00:15:40] Things

[00:15:40] And

[00:15:40] So

[00:15:41] While

[00:15:41] She's

[00:15:41] Walking

[00:15:42] Down

[00:15:42] This

[00:15:42] Path

[00:15:42] We

[00:15:43] Get

[00:15:45] Black

[00:15:45] Cowboys

[00:15:46] Also

[00:15:46] To

[00:15:47] Be

[00:15:47] Noted

[00:15:48] If

[00:15:49] Y'all

[00:15:49] Remember

[00:15:49] P.

[00:15:50] Diddy

[00:15:50] Is

[00:15:51] Ex

[00:15:52] Girlfriend

[00:15:52] Cassie

[00:15:53] Her

[00:15:53] Current

[00:15:54] Husband

[00:15:54] I

[00:15:55] Think

[00:15:55] His

[00:15:55] Name

[00:15:55] Is

[00:15:56] Alex

[00:15:56] He

[00:15:56] Was

[00:15:57] One

[00:15:57] Of

[00:15:57] Those

[00:15:58] People

[00:15:59] Standing

[00:15:59] On

[00:15:59] The

[00:16:00] Horses

[00:16:00] Okay

[00:16:00] Now

[00:16:01] You

[00:16:01] Make

[00:16:01] The

[00:16:01] Connection

[00:16:02] There

[00:16:02] Okay

[00:16:02] Like

[00:16:03] Her

[00:16:04] Letting

[00:16:04] Us

[00:16:05] Know

[00:16:05] That

[00:16:05] She

[00:16:05] Stands

[00:16:06] With

[00:16:06] The

[00:16:07] Women

[00:16:07] From

[00:16:08] The

[00:16:08] Next

[00:16:08] Song

[00:16:08] It

[00:16:08] Goes

[00:16:09] Into

[00:16:09] Black

[00:16:09] Bird

[00:16:10] And

[00:16:10] Just

[00:16:10] The

[00:16:11] Song

[00:16:11] Black

[00:16:12] Bird

[00:16:15] He

[00:16:17] Is

[00:16:17] On

[00:28:43] Throughout

[00:28:43] This

[00:28:43] Performance

[00:28:44] There

[00:28:44] Was

[00:28:44] One

[00:28:44] Performance

[00:28:45] Where

[00:28:45] She

[00:28:45] Has

[00:28:45] Kind

[00:28:45] Of

[00:28:46] All

[00:28:46] Of

[00:28:46] Her

[00:28:46] Dancers

[00:28:47] Lined

[00:28:48] On

[00:28:48] These

[00:28:48] Like

[00:28:49] Stadium

[00:28:51] I

[00:28:51] Don't

[00:28:52] To

[00:28:52] Say

[00:28:52] Seating

[00:28:52] But

[00:28:53] It's

[00:28:53] Like

[00:28:53] A

[00:28:53] Stadium

[00:28:53] And

[00:28:53] All

[00:28:54] Of

[00:28:58] Coachella

[00:28:59] Performance

[00:29:00] She

[00:29:00] Really

[00:29:00] Made

[00:29:00] It

[00:29:01] An

[00:29:01] HBCU

[00:29:02] A

[00:29:02] Historically

[00:29:04] Or

[00:29:04] University

[00:29:05] Homecoming

[00:29:06] Right

[00:29:06] And

[00:29:07] So

[00:29:07] She

[00:29:07] Gave

[00:29:08] Us

[00:29:08] That

[00:29:08] Vibe

[00:29:09] Bringing

[00:29:10] HBCU

[00:29:11] Homecomings

[00:29:13] To

[00:29:13] Netflix

[00:29:14] Christmas

[00:29:17] Y'all

[00:29:18] See

[00:29:18] What

[00:29:18] I'm

[00:29:18] Saying

[00:29:18] Making

[00:29:19] These

[00:29:19] Connections

[00:29:20] And

[00:29:20] There's

[00:29:20] One

[00:29:20] Part

[00:29:21] Where

[00:29:21] She

[00:29:21] Is

[00:29:21] Singing

[00:29:21] One

[00:29:22] Of

[00:29:22] These

[00:29:22] Songs

[00:29:22] And

[00:29:23] Blue

[00:29:23] Is

[00:29:24] In

[00:29:24] The

[00:29:25] Stands

[00:29:25] But

[00:29:25] She's

[00:29:25] In

[00:29:26] The

[00:29:26] Middle

[00:29:26] And

[00:29:27] All

[00:29:27] Of

[00:29:27] The

[00:29:28] The

[00:29:28] Dancers

[00:29:28] To

[00:29:28] The

[00:29:28] Left

[00:29:29] And

[00:29:29] The

[00:29:29] To

[00:29:29] The

[00:29:29] Right

[00:29:30] Are

[00:29:30] Doing

[00:29:30] This

[00:29:30] Different

[00:29:31] Choreography

[00:29:31] And

[00:29:31] Beyonce

[00:29:32] Is

[00:29:32] In

[00:29:32] The

[00:29:32] Middle

[00:29:33] Doing

[00:29:33] Her

[00:29:33] Own

[00:29:34] And

[00:29:34] She

[00:29:34] Has

[00:29:34] Blue

[00:29:35] Ivy

[00:29:36] Mimicking

[00:29:36] Her

[00:29:44] Mind

[00:29:44] You

[00:29:44] It's

[00:29:44] Only

[00:29:45] Been

[00:29:45] Four

[00:29:45] Days

[00:29:45] Ago

[00:29:46] Less

[00:29:46] Than

[00:29:46] Four

[00:29:47] Days

[00:29:47] Ago

[00:29:47] And

[00:29:48] For

[00:29:49] Me

[00:29:49] That

[00:29:49] Symbolizes

[00:29:50] Like

[00:29:50] The

[00:29:51] Legacy

[00:29:51] I

[00:29:52] Am

[00:29:52] Bringing

[00:29:53] My

[00:29:54] Child

[00:29:55] Up

[00:29:55] She's

[00:29:56] Following

[00:29:56] My

[00:29:57] Footsteps

[00:29:57] Clearly

[00:29:58] This

[00:29:58] Is

[00:29:58] Something

[00:29:58] Blue

[00:29:58] Wants

[00:29:59] To

[00:29:59] Do

[00:29:59] But

[00:29:59] If

[00:29:59] She

[00:30:00] Going

[00:30:00] Follow

[00:30:00] My

[00:30:00] Footsteps

[00:30:01] She's

[00:30:01] Going

[00:30:01] To

[00:30:01] Be

[00:30:02] Prepared

[00:30:02] She's

[00:30:02] Going

[00:30:03] To

[00:30:03] Be

[00:30:03] Ready

[00:30:03] Makes

[00:30:04] Me

[00:30:04] Think

[00:30:04] Of

[00:30:04] Like

[00:30:04] The

[00:30:05] Destiny's

[00:30:05] Child

[00:30:05] Days

[00:30:06] Matthew

[00:30:06] Knows

[00:30:13] We

[00:30:13] Can

[00:30:42] One

[00:30:43] Blue, and we all just love Blue.

[00:30:46] It really just is

[00:30:49] so powerful,

[00:30:50] so amazing. The performance

[00:30:51] was amazing. Then she ended with

[00:30:53] This Ain't Texas!

[00:30:56] Texas Hold'em! Then she gave us

[00:30:57] a new riff at the end

[00:31:00] of Texas Hold'em as she's

[00:31:02] cascading up

[00:31:04] 30 feet in the air.

[00:31:06] This ain't Texas!

[00:31:08] I can't sing, but

[00:31:09] just know that you will see that on your

[00:31:11] social media timelines of people

[00:31:13] doing that end riff

[00:31:15] of Texas Hold'em.

[00:31:17] Crazy. Love it. Then at the end

[00:31:19] of the performance,

[00:31:21] then all of a sudden on Beyonce's

[00:31:24] Instagram, there is

[00:31:25] this video of her on a horse.

[00:31:27] The caption says, look at this horse!

[00:31:29] And she is holding a flag.

[00:31:31] She's on the horse. And then at the end of it,

[00:31:33] it says, 1-14-2025.

[00:31:36] Now, what?

[00:31:37] Beyonce, what is you doing?

[00:31:40] Then all of the people

[00:31:41] are doing a think tank.

[00:31:42] When I first saw that, I said,

[00:31:44] oh, she must be getting ready

[00:31:46] to announce

[00:31:46] the Cowboy Carter

[00:31:48] World Tour.

[00:31:49] Let me get my money together.

[00:31:51] However, after I've done

[00:31:52] a little research,

[00:31:53] first of all, everybody thinks

[00:31:54] it's something.

[00:31:56] I don't know what it is.

[00:31:57] However, after all of the things

[00:31:59] that I have read and I have seen,

[00:32:01] this one

[00:32:02] topic that people are saying,

[00:32:04] I tend to believe it.

[00:32:05] I don't believe that

[00:32:06] on

[00:32:07] January 14th,

[00:32:09] 2025,

[00:32:10] we're going to be announcing

[00:32:12] a tour.

[00:32:12] I believe,

[00:32:13] from all the TikToks

[00:32:15] and Blue Skies

[00:32:16] and Facebook posts

[00:32:17] and threads that I've been in,

[00:32:19] that I believe

[00:32:20] we're going to get

[00:32:21] Act 3.

[00:32:22] We know that at the start

[00:32:23] of Renaissance,

[00:32:24] Act 1,

[00:32:25] Beyonce said to us

[00:32:26] that this was going to be

[00:32:28] a three-act project.

[00:32:30] Me, personally,

[00:32:31] I want to get to Act 3

[00:32:33] because Beyonce

[00:32:34] and the girls,

[00:32:35] Kelly and Michelle,

[00:32:36] they owe me a

[00:32:37] Destiny's Child reunion album

[00:32:39] and I like to get that

[00:32:40] reunion album

[00:32:41] while I'm still young

[00:32:42] and I can still pop,

[00:32:43] lock, and drop it.

[00:32:44] However, on this video

[00:32:45] of Beyonce's Instagram,

[00:32:47] she's on the white horse

[00:32:48] and she is holding this flag

[00:32:50] and it's kind of like

[00:32:52] she's putting the flag

[00:32:53] down.

[00:32:56] The research that I have done

[00:32:57] is now,

[00:32:58] I can't even try

[00:32:59] to say the name,

[00:33:01] but this,

[00:33:03] what she is doing,

[00:33:04] we see in rodeos

[00:33:06] and it has a specific name

[00:33:09] as to what she is doing.

[00:33:11] I can't say it,

[00:33:11] not going to try to say it.

[00:33:13] However,

[00:33:14] essentially,

[00:33:14] you know,

[00:33:15] when the bulls are out,

[00:33:16] there are normally

[00:33:18] a young lady

[00:33:19] that comes out

[00:33:20] on a horse

[00:33:20] and they kind of like

[00:33:21] antagonize the bull

[00:33:22] and they normally have

[00:33:23] like two spears with them

[00:33:25] and they'll throw it

[00:33:26] at the bull.

[00:33:26] We can maybe correlate

[00:33:27] the two spears

[00:33:28] to being act one

[00:33:30] and act two.

[00:33:30] Also,

[00:33:31] the way that she is

[00:33:32] maneuvering the flag,

[00:33:33] I have read

[00:33:34] and seen enough

[00:33:37] rodeo footage

[00:33:38] that they said

[00:33:39] that this is what they do

[00:33:40] to signify the end

[00:33:41] of the rodeo.

[00:33:42] So I really feel like

[00:33:44] from all of the things,

[00:33:45] now mind you,

[00:33:45] I wouldn't be mad

[00:33:46] if it was a tour,

[00:33:47] but the way that she

[00:33:49] is maneuvering that flag,

[00:33:51] it's ending.

[00:33:52] That's what they do

[00:33:53] at the end of a rodeo.

[00:33:54] And so I feel like

[00:33:55] Beyonce is like,

[00:33:56] listen,

[00:33:56] y'all not getting a tour.

[00:33:58] Another thing that I read

[00:33:59] from this other creator

[00:34:01] were saying,

[00:34:03] this isn't a,

[00:34:04] the Super Bowl halftime,

[00:34:06] right?

[00:34:06] This is just a Christmas

[00:34:07] Day halftime show.

[00:34:08] However,

[00:34:08] on a halftime show performance,

[00:34:11] you know,

[00:34:11] an artist will do

[00:34:12] their body of work

[00:34:13] and they'll end

[00:34:14] with maybe,

[00:34:15] you know,

[00:34:16] I could see her ending

[00:34:17] with Texas Hold'em

[00:34:18] because that's the lead

[00:34:20] single off of her

[00:34:20] most recent album,

[00:34:21] but you know,

[00:34:22] we should get

[00:34:23] some Crazy in Love,

[00:34:24] we should get

[00:34:25] some Dangerously in Love,

[00:34:26] we should get

[00:34:26] some Halo,

[00:34:27] right?

[00:34:27] Like,

[00:34:28] because these type

[00:34:29] of performances,

[00:34:30] even though this is

[00:34:31] the first of its kind,

[00:34:32] it's still a major performance

[00:34:35] and artist is going

[00:34:36] to do a sample

[00:34:37] of their catalog.

[00:34:39] Beyonce ain't do that.

[00:34:40] She just did

[00:34:40] all Cowboy Carter.

[00:34:42] So a lot of people

[00:34:43] online are saying

[00:34:45] that,

[00:34:46] this is what y'all

[00:34:47] getting for Cowboy Carter,

[00:34:49] this is y'all performance,

[00:34:50] then to release

[00:34:51] that video

[00:34:52] with her kind of

[00:34:53] putting the flag down,

[00:34:54] symbolizing the end,

[00:34:56] it could be the end

[00:34:57] of Cowboy Carter.

[00:34:58] Then,

[00:34:59] baby,

[00:34:59] listen,

[00:35:00] Beyonce has sent us

[00:35:01] all on a spiral,

[00:35:02] then the font

[00:35:03] of the 1-14-2025

[00:35:07] has not been

[00:35:08] in any other font

[00:35:11] of the Cowboy Carter era.

[00:35:14] People are saying

[00:35:15] it looks like

[00:35:17] rock font.

[00:35:18] Also,

[00:35:19] when Cowboy Carter

[00:35:21] came out,

[00:35:22] the way that

[00:35:22] she released

[00:35:23] the track titles,

[00:35:25] it was like

[00:35:25] the Chitlin Circuit,

[00:35:27] all of these things

[00:35:28] on newspapers

[00:35:28] and one of the newspapers

[00:35:29] that said like

[00:35:30] the Betty Black tour.

[00:35:32] Betty Black

[00:35:33] is a rock song

[00:35:34] and when you Google that,

[00:35:36] people been finding

[00:35:37] the fonts

[00:35:38] that look like

[00:35:39] what looks like

[00:35:40] 1-14-2025.

[00:35:42] Now,

[00:35:42] mind you,

[00:35:42] this is all just

[00:35:43] speculation

[00:35:45] but it's had me

[00:35:46] in a world win

[00:35:48] for the last four days

[00:35:50] and it will have me

[00:35:51] in a world win

[00:35:51] until January 14th.

[00:35:54] I still believe

[00:35:55] Beyonce will tour.

[00:35:57] I think that

[00:35:58] if this is

[00:36:00] the release

[00:36:02] to talk about

[00:36:03] Act 3,

[00:36:04] I still feel like

[00:36:05] she would go on tour

[00:36:06] this summer.

[00:36:06] It would just be

[00:36:07] in promotional

[00:36:08] for Act 2

[00:36:09] and Act 3.

[00:36:10] But all of this to say,

[00:36:12] Beyonce,

[00:36:13] we love her.

[00:36:14] These Easter eggs

[00:36:15] that she gives us

[00:36:16] and I was talking

[00:36:17] to one of my friends today

[00:36:18] and you know,

[00:36:19] we think about music,

[00:36:20] we think about artists.

[00:36:21] What other artist

[00:36:23] gives us

[00:36:24] this amount of symbolism,

[00:36:25] plays these games

[00:36:27] in our faces?

[00:36:28] It really gets us

[00:36:29] excited

[00:36:31] for music,

[00:36:32] what she's going

[00:36:33] to drop.

[00:36:33] She's just so

[00:36:37] amazing,

[00:36:37] so elevating,

[00:36:38] the foresight,

[00:36:40] to be

[00:36:41] the most amazing

[00:36:43] performer,

[00:36:44] singer of our generation.

[00:36:46] And that's one thing,

[00:36:48] right?

[00:36:48] But Beyonce knows that

[00:36:50] and Beyonce knows

[00:36:51] the legacy

[00:36:52] that has come before her

[00:36:53] and she's like,

[00:36:54] I have to pay this forward.

[00:36:56] Most artists

[00:36:56] don't do that.

[00:36:58] They don't do that.

[00:37:00] Beyonce made different.

[00:37:02] And again,

[00:37:03] I'm not

[00:37:04] a member

[00:37:05] of the Beehive,

[00:37:06] right?

[00:37:07] Like,

[00:37:08] I'm a member

[00:37:08] of the Destiny's Child

[00:37:09] Hive.

[00:37:10] And because of that,

[00:37:11] of course,

[00:37:11] I love all my girls

[00:37:12] and Beyonce's just amazing.

[00:37:13] So I'm giving you

[00:37:14] all of this

[00:37:15] and I'm not even

[00:37:16] an official member

[00:37:18] of the Beehive.

[00:37:19] I just love

[00:37:20] Beyonce

[00:37:21] from Destiny's Child

[00:37:22] and it's just

[00:37:23] truly so amazing.

[00:37:25] And that's just

[00:37:26] what I have been on

[00:37:27] the last

[00:37:28] couple of days

[00:37:29] after Christmas.

[00:37:30] And I say,

[00:37:30] you know what?

[00:37:31] Let me give

[00:37:31] the posse this.

[00:37:32] I would love

[00:37:33] to hear your thoughts.

[00:37:35] Tell me where you think

[00:37:36] you got something.

[00:37:37] Tell me where you think,

[00:37:38] no, no, no, baby boy,
