We’ve known she’s a bit woo woo i personally just choose to ignore it 

Thanking Judah and talking about having a medium lift her cough 

me reading these pretending i don’t also try and meditate my sickness out of me 

No but Tessa healed her two hours before the show. I just was not prepared to read that as one of the first things in the morning

The cold warehouse causing her to have laryngitis gives me the same vibe as “I fell out of a tree when I was a child and that’s why I whisper” 
 
also I think her hair the color of the desert is a call out of the location of Coachella (a literal desert) as opposed to a lasso tease 

The Doors - Indian Summer.
 
It would fit her better than her favorite sweater. 
 
 

100% could be that. this is a very personal theory, which also has more to do with her mannerisms and communication style in general, but i digress. I just bring it up because it's probably important to remind ourselves to have empathy for her eccentricities  

not forgetting her short pole performance at the end of Candy Necklace

cause no one is she repeating SURPRISE guests

I know it's frowned upon to comment on her body these days but as a woman who also went through some shit, gained weight and then put in the work to lose it all afterwards; she is fucking glowing. Like, for real, she looked radiant and healthy and in her prime tonight and I'm so so proud of her.

Never really been a Beyoncé fan though I liked Lemonade but this record is sooo good. She’s so soulful? Also, she’s not afraid to be vulnerable which is refreshing. She has that special combination of power and vulnerability which was what drew me to Lana in the first place. “Daughter” is such an exceptional track which blew my mind the first time I heard it. I’d die if Lana did something like that. The only tracks that don’t do anything for me are Levi’s Jeans and Jolene, I’ll be spending a lot of time with the rest

I can't with Riiverdance yet, the lyrics are mostly bullshit followed by great verses, I don't care for II Most Wanted or Levii's Jeans either. Love this album so much though. Getting me through some difficult times.

It's unbelievable honestly. She was already an incredible performer, the greatest imo, and she's solidifying that reality into the music. This is amazing. Ya Ya and Daughter live, can you even imagine? Fuck.

ME TOO WHATS IN THE AIR I’ve been in my fallout jush more than previous years. Maybe it’s the show hyping me. But I started replaying before the show trailer came out

Also, I’ve been fully immersed in fallout 4 again lately, and hearing pistol packing mama on repeat has really soft launched me in to my country appreciation era 

I'm so happy this album exists. it's completely different, but works so well. I can tell that the reception's sorta on the quieter side, but the quality's just undeniable. 
the vocals, the sounds. you'd think it was some kind of disconnected thing, but it's seamless, and it makes me feel so proud for her. breaking barriers. and in such a beautiful, poised way too. 

 

I honestly love that she’s just doing whatever she wants 
 
it’s nice to see someone so established and successful with really nothing to lose try stuff like this
 
like wtf is daughter

omg 
 
The album is amazing and will get better with each listen as it all starts to come together. My first listen was great but my second was incredible wow 
 
 
 

I see myself listening casually to Cowboy Carter songs more than I do Renaissance (which feels like something I need to listen to in full from front to back). 
 
So far my favorite tracks are: 
Ameriican Requiem  Daughter Alliigator Tears Just For Fun Ya Ya  Tyrant

Overall loved the album, the country radio show format was super cute and contributed a lot to the atmosphere and the vibe. This album surprisingly clicked more than Renaissance for me and I will absolutely be streaming it repeatedly. These tracks stood out for me:
 
American Requiem
Blackbird (metronome irritates me tho 👀)
16 Carriages
Protector
Bodyguard
Texas Hold Em (didn’t like the single but enjoyed it more in context)
Daughter
Spaghetti
Most Wanted
Levi’s Jeans
Flamenco
Ya Ya (mostly great but hate the yayayayaya chorus it’s too Bang Bang by Jessie J and I absolutely hate that song 🙄)
Hands Heaven
Sweet Honey Buckin
Amen
 
 
Toss up between Daughter and Spaghetti for my top track but overall super well done Beyoncé I’m so impressed

100%! This will be a very tough act to follow.
 
Just hope we don't get another Chemtrails, short and understated (as much as I love the record). Lasso needs to be bigger than that, and the lead single needs to be Ride-level slay. 

Daughter is everything too

same!!! the vocals made me so excited for act III, I think it's gonna be great and my favorite from this trilogy
