Beyoncé - RENAISSANCE

[Omiros]

I'd honestly be surprised if she doesn't perform, because that would mean 0 performances for the whole era.

The new level of exclusivity you gon need to pay to see her ass performing live

[Beyon]

Not the platinium life package

I saw this tweet that's probably false but it got me thinking.
Remember the variety article saying that act ii is a whole new album that might be released before Christmas?
Then there's the fact that we got no visuals and some people speculated that she's waiting to release act ii so the visuals will be for both acts.
Then, there's the fact that the tour announcement kept being pushed back. But why would they postpone a tour announcement? The dates are usually locked in months in advance.

So, what if the tour announcement was pushed back because it's not just a tour announcement.
She's going to both announce the tour and announce/release act ii.
And because act ii wasn't completely ready yet, they kept pushing back the tour announcement.

The other explanations are that there was something private going on with her family.

Or, she really meant for nothing to happen for a very long time (In her Instagram post after the album release she says 'We're going to take our time and enjoy the music').

[Omiros]

The rumour is that the tour announcement got pushed back for personal reasons, which I assume is the leg surgery and her wanting to ensure that she can perform by then.

I can't think of a reason there's been no promo or visuals in the past 7 months though, unless she wanted to complete some visuals post-surgery.

Let this be true.

I don’t believe it. Not that she won’t appear or perform but that the conversations are happening only now. Come on, those are huge events that take time to be put together. From the production point of view, it’s impossible to book an artist to perform week or two ahead of the actual event. And it’s Bey, this bish spends weeks or even months rehearsing for a single show.

Two award appearances in a month? Doubt it

[lambforever]

Watch Bey not appear at either award show

Can't wait to see what awards she takes home on Sunday

Okay, now with the tour announcement rumors I’m starting to believe she may perform at the Grannies. Why would she plan the announcement now otherwise? She might also be confident that she wins AOTY and that alone would give a big boost in terms of publicity.

She might also be confident that she wins AOTY and that alone would give a big boost in terms of publicity.

With the Grammys, it remains unpredictable until the end.
There are a few exceptions when the winners seemed quite obvious as soon as the nominees had been revealed (e.g. Adele's 21 winning AOTY or Olivia Rodrigo winning Best New Artist), but in most cases, it is not as the preference of the juries changes with each period.
Sometimes they go for the popular vote, sometimes for the critics' darling, the underdog or the veteran act. There is the tendency to award artists with a serious and harmless reputation.
They usually skip records that are considered provocative, total jokes, overally sexual or violence-glorifying or too political, but then again, Meghan Thee Stallion won Best New Artist and This Is America won Song and Record of the Year, so again, exceptions to the rule.
Renaissance would be a good representative for AOTY, but you just cannot know what's going on in the heads of the jury this time around.

If mother doesn't win AOTY and the big ones, what would we do? just sit and wait for act ll?

[theMathematician]

Well yeah, pretty much! The irony is that at the moment it seems like our biggest guarantee that Beyoncé will not completely retire as a singer releasing new material is her still not having won AOTY yet. It's like her main motivation at this point and once she gets that, I feel like she'd limit herself to random side projects and ocassional performances for the rich folks out there.

We got an album, a tour, a #1 single and still no damn visuals

As biz folks congregate at the Four Seasons and the Polo Lounge and juggle their heavy dockets of parties and meetings, the chatter is that Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Adelewill all attend the Grammys. So far the word is that none of the three are yet scheduled to perform, but we’re hearing that negotiations are ongoing, and that producers Winston, Collins and Kapoor are, per tradition, holding some slots just in case.

Most believe that Bey will win in at least one category—and possibly one or more of the Big 4—and thus become the biggest winner in Grammy history. It's also thought by many that she will not perform unless she’s been informed that she will win. But since she just announced her tour, might a typically ferocious live segment be just the ticket right now?

Not that I think she’ll struggle to sell tickets, but announcing the tour ahead of a Grammy performance is definitely one way to shift any remaining tickets

[Hugo]

This is relevant.

[Artoo]

I said the same in the tour thread. I just can’t see how she could mix up the songs or only perform some of them. I need that album in full.

[Omiros]

Surely she's performing on Sunday? Especially with tickets going on sale on Monday!

[Omiros]

Heated should be the next single. It has the most hit potential and i've been seeing it a lot on social media recently.

America Has A Problem deserves!
It's such an underrated song. One of the best on the album imo.

[KEY9481]

Ok Yvette, stomp on their neck a bit!

For her latest release, Renaissance, The-Dream is one of the architects behind all but two of the album’s 16 tracks.

“Bey wanted to bring everyone together — that was the first thing on the board,” explains The-Dream of Beyoncé’s mission for her first solo album in six years. Following a tumultuous global period, he says, “It doesn’t matter who you are, we all know we were hurting,” and that the bounce, funk, house and all-around maximalist dance of Renaissance was intended as collective therapy.

For the album’s focal point, “Break My Soul,” The-Dream and Tricky teamed up to sketch out the single and then took it to Beyoncé, who “transformed it” into a No. 1 hit, says Tricky. “Dream and Bey’s closeness and attention to detail got us to a place with that song that we couldn’t have gotten [to] without that bond.”
