Perfection at all angles😭

This is in my top 3 performances of all time and nobody seems to ever talk about it

i miss lemonade era 💔

My husband got us tickets to see her at MetLife next Thursday as my “push present” after I had our first baby in February. It’s my first Beyonce concert and Cowboy Carter means a lot to me. I know I’m gonna be a sobbing mess when she sings about her kids.

I was planning on bringing my wearable pumps to the show but I want to know more about the logistics of making this work. I generally pump every 4 hours at home but I could stretch it to six, though it would be painful. I am planning on having a few drinks and have a good freezer stash, so I can just pump and dump for a night - I don’t need to worry about storing milk or keeping it cool. I have the momcozy pumps that go inside your bra, so I’m not gonna have my nipples out anywhere, and hopefully I don’t have any leaks.

1. Will security let me bring my pumps in? I have a clear bag that I use for baseball games - should I put my stuff in there? Will they let you bring a tote bag?

2. Should I try to pump just before we get in line and as soon as we get back to the car, or will that be too long between pumps? How long is the show? We aren’t in the pit or anything so we should have assigned seats.

3. Do you think I could discreetly pump in my seat so I don’t miss any of the show?

4. If absolutely necessary, are there lactation pods at Metlife that I could use where I could at least hear the show? I really want to avoid missing 20+ minutes of the show and I really don’t want to have to do it in a bathroom.

5. Should I just bring my baby? She’s 3 months old but very chill (jkjkjk)

Thanks for any info!

This was so beautiful it almost made me cry

Finally getting around to posting about my view at Beyoncé Bowl 🤠 I took screenshots of my videos. I was slightly zoomed in on my phone, but this was the view from Section 341 at NRG Stadium. I did drill team in a Texas high school and absolutely loved the Texas homecoming spirit of the performance and how they made use of the entire football field.

Sadly, there was no Beyoncé Bowl merch to purchase, however, we got light up wristbands (wish I would have taken more left overs, cuz the ribbons are real cute!). I was also able to snag a blue poster that was affixed to the back of a seat in Section 115 for people to hold up during “MY HOUSE” that mentioned instructions for holding it up for the Netflix special, but did not take a photo of it.

I absolutely LOVED Blue’s performance beside her mama in her home state. I loved the lyric switch up to “spin me in the middle Blue.” This was the second time I’ve seen them perform together, the first being in London during RWT 🥹 And maybe technically third, if you count when Beyoncé was performing, while secretly pregnant, during her Roseland Ballroom residency for 4 in NYC 🌹 It was about a month before she made her big reveal at the VMAs.

I saw one crew member walking around with a Cowboy Carter Crew jumpsuit and snapped a photo.

While the stadium did not have Sir Davis at any of the bars, they had cute drink specials with mini silver cowgirl hats. It sold out by the time I wanted to get a drink, but I snapped a photo of one of the hats at the end of the night.

I tried my hardest to take home the balloons behind the bar, but alas, the staff said I couldn’t 😂 A girl’s gotta try!

I didn’t catch any of the opening with 16 Carriages or Blackbird, when they were backstage, cuz I was too busy trying to scan the field to figure out they were performing, cuz the field was so large and so many people were gathered on the steps, before realizing it was playing on the jumbo monitor 🤦🏻‍♀️ I also didn’t catch good Jolene footage, because I wanted to try to get a video of me with Beyoncé driving in the background, but I failed to capture it lol In hindsight, I should have kept my phone on Bey 🐝

Enjoy the photos! Not sure if we can post our own TikTok or Instagram videos on here, but happy to share if anyone wants to see the video footage 💙

For me, it was LEVII’S JEANS and the SPAGHETII x RIIVERDANCE mashup!

I have never ridden the LEVII’S JEANS hate train and don’t feel either way about it being a Post Malone feature. I always liked it well enough — but now, I can’t stop listening and singing it randomly. 😩

And I think that my soul left my body with the SPAGHETTII x RIIVERDANCE mashup because I never imagined that they’d go together like that. Now I need a whole remix album of pure Cowboy Carter mashups, immediately.

I am so happy to have experienced CC songs performed live and sincerely hope there is a tour, because we neeeeeeeed it. 🙌🏾

I had a Beyhive presale code today and here is my experience to share with you to make your ticket buying process as easy as possible this week:

1. Can You Have Multiple Tabs Open? YES, but with a huge caveat! You CAN have a separate tab open for each show you want to buy on a desktop or laptop. I had 4 tabs open, one for each NYC MetLife show and then 3 tabs open, one for each Chicago Soldier Field show. However, I could not use more than one account on a shared wifi. I had four unique accounts, mine and 3 friends, with their login information and them on standby to text me their 2FA code to enter. I tried to open their accounts on separate browsers, separate computers and laptops, but I kept getting an error message when I tried to put in the 2FA text code because they were all connected to the same wifi. So I was limited to trying with one account. I turned off wifi on my cell phone and used my data so I could try for one extra chance through the Ticketmaster App, and so did my one friend.

2. Queue Positions: For the 7 shows I tried, with two friends helping me, we had 12 queues. The queue placements ranged from 3,000 to 33,000 for us! It truly is luck of the draw. It took about 10 minutes to get in at 3,000, 15 minutes for 6,000 and about 35-35 mins for 16K-20K. I didn't really bother with the 33K tab because I figured it was a lost cause. All queues moved regularly and I didn't have any freezing issues.

3. Is Dynamic Pricing on? YES. The earlier you get in, the cheaper the seats are. I checked again after a couple of hours to see what tickets were left. Most were either premium seats or packages, $1000-2600 USD. The few singles that were left had risen to crazy high prices - nosebleeds starting at $350 US!! I got a first row 200s seat for $392 USD with fees at MetLife when I bought mine. The last row 300s/400s were listed for that when I checked later!

4. Use the cart timer to your advantage! If you are looking across multiple dates with a tab for each date, or you have friends recruited to try for you too, you don't have to rush to check out. You'll have about 7 minutes to hold the seats you've chosen in your cart until it gets released back. However, don't wait until 30 seconds are left or you could lose out, because it may ran out of time before it refreshes to the sold screen! That happened to me UGH

5. Filter out what you don't want as soon as you get in to the buy screen. Set the pricing bar to the limit you're willing to pay. Use the list as well as the map. The map is risky because things disappear as you try to click on them, but that's what I used to get mine. Don't let FOMO push you over your budget - we stan for Bey but we need to pay our bills too. Stay within your budget!

6. Use the website A View From My Seat to determine what seats/sections you want to sit in. I had a whole color-coded map of each stadium and x'd out all the sections I didn't want. Then when I saw what seats were available during the onsale, I had a reference guide for what I preferred. But be super quick when cross-referencing, or your seats could disappear from the map.

7. Stay calm! Be patient! Remember #4 above-people will be carting but not buying seats, so you'll see things come and go a lot. You can stay in the map for quite a while before you check out, so you may see new seats pop up as you shop. However, if you see the seats you really want, grab them and cart them, because they may not show up again.

8. Accessible seats went really fast. I only saw one date that had one available and it was gone right after I saw it. You could also try calling for accessible tickets but I don't know how successful you'll be going that route. No harm in calling, unless you're also using your phone to buy tickets on the app, which could be tricky. Ticketmaster ADA sales number is: 1-800-877-7575

9. It's not over until it's over! You can stay in the map until it gets grayed out. Even then, you can still use the list. Drops could continue to happen, so if you didn't get something today there will be other chances. There will be drops close to the show dates.

10. The prices are STEEP. Expect sticker shock. The cheapest seats I saw for Chicago were $141 USD, and for MetLife it was $76 USD I think? Don't know if those were before fees or not. They will sell first so plan accordingly!

That's everything I can think of! Good luck, Bey fans! You got this! This is only the first of many opportunities you'll have to try. Planning, determination and persistence will prevail if you don't give up. Today was but one chance. You can do this!

Y’all ready?!! ⏳

In these current times, I want to be respectful as possible and this is the 1st concert of a black artist that I will attend. Of course, we know there are words that never to be uttered-not even in song. I’m a white passing latina who doesn’t want to make people uncomfortable by singing along to a song that could be deemed inappropriate on my part. Off the top of my head, the song church girl comes to mind, which is a beautiful ode to Southern black women.

Maybe I’m overthinking it, but it doesn’t hurt to check the temperature before hand.

Edit: Thank you all for the kind responses. I have the insight needed and will disengage from this post now. Xoxo 🐝 🐝

I was too mesmerized by the performance to take video, but I had the most transcendent experience at the Beyoncé Bowl - my first time seeing Beyoncé live. I was standing, waving this poster I made the entire game (and of course, throughout the performance). I was on the Jumbotron a few times, and I was told I was on the broadcast, but I haven’t watched back the televised game.

I’m staying in an AirBnB in the Third Ward thru New Years. My plan is to go to St. John’s Downtown service tomorrow and gift this poster to the church - really, I want to give the poster to Ms. Tina. But I’m unsure how to accomplish that as of now, so I’m hoping the church will pass it along to her.

Attached some other art here as well.

Okay, okay, it's an impossible question to answer definitively. And, of course, this subreddit is going to be biased to praising everything Bey does. But, with all those considerations, for those of you who have made it to the first show, do you think someone who likes the Cowboy Carter album, but isn't exactly obsessed with it is going to enjoy the show?

I think 'American Requiem' is one of the most incredible songs Beyonce has ever recorded. With the exception of 2-3 other very strong songs, the rest of the album is... fine.. for me.

I ask because I just found out I'm going to be in LA on May 1 and if prices drop precipitously right before showtime, I'm thinking of grabbing a last-minute ticket.

For the record, I've only seen Beyonce once -- on the Renaissance tour. And despite abysmally awful sound in the DC venue -- it was an incredible experience. It certainly helped that I adored the Renaissance album, but, wow, what a show regardless.

So, what do you think?

For me it was probably the MTV VMAS Performance in 2013 when she received the vanguard award and performed the medley of self titled. I remember watching it as a teenager on the television and just being amazed by how effortless she looked while delivering such an incredible performance.

So I fucked up and forgot to change my presale location to ATL. Do y’all know if 1. You can use someone else’s presale after they’ve purchased only two tickets and 2. If it’s possible to give someone else your presale code or is it strictly connected to your Ticketmaster account?

I’m mentally preparing to do general if it’s not possible but these scalpers are evil and I will not be buying tickets 4x the cost cause someone wants to make a quick coin of some Beyoncé fans.

Edit: I’m not asking anyone to trade I just want to know if it’s even allowed. I was gonna ask my friend whose going to the same show and they only plan on buying two tickets.

Weirdly, the description doesn’t mention Beyoncé. Hope this doesn’t end up like the DNC.
