saw Beyoncé in that hat, I was immediately obsessed with it and knew I wanted to wear it for the tour,” Leila Ostria, 27, told The Post.“But when I saw that the hat [retailed] online for, like, $350, I decided to just make it myself.” The 27-year-old from Gaithersburg, Maryland, shelled out around $7,000 for prime seats at six of the “Alien Superstar” singer’s shows in multiple cities, including two performances in Washington, D.C., as well as gigs in Minneapolis, Atlanta, Miami and Pittsburgh.  But when it came to wowing in her chic chapeau, Ostria was decidedly more thrifty.

the most recent bit of controversy she’s found herself embroiled in. And she’s not holding back.Earlier this week, musical duo Right Said Fred spoke to British tabloid The Sun about their inclusion in Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance.The brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass (and their former bandmate Rob Manzoli) are all credited as songwriters on Bey’s song “Alien Superstar,” as the tune interpolates a part of their smash single “I’m Too Sexy.” That cut took over the world in 1991, and it remains the band’s biggest hit by far.In the interview, the brothers expressed how unhappy they were with their credits and the fact that something of theirs had been used on Renaissance saying, “She is such an arrogant person… She just had probably thought ‘come and get me’ so we heard about it after the fact…”Just days after the article went live, Beyoncé has not only spoken on the issue, but called Right Said Fred out.In a statement shared with Billboard, the Grammy winner claims that their version of what happened is not true, and she comes with specific details that counter their comments as well.“Permission was not only granted for its use, but they publicly spoke of their gratitude for being on the album,” she insisted via the statement.

When a musician is as massively popular as Beyoncé, there’s bound to be some blowback whenever they release something.Controversy is simply a part of life for the biggest and most successful in the music industry, and Queen Bey may very well be the biggest.The singer, songwriter, and producer is currently being chastised by a well-known musical duo, who are adding to a growing chorus of artists who weren’t happy to find out they were involved with her new set.Right Said Fred has spoken out against Beyoncé in a new interview with British tabloid The Sun after they were — apparently involuntarily — included in her new album Renaissance.The duo is upset that the Grammy winner interpolated their 1991 global smash “I’m Too Sexy” on her song “Alien Superstar,” which was quickly singled out as a fan favorite on the superstar’s latest effort.The issue stems from the fact that, according to Right Said Fred, neither Beyoncé nor anyone from her team reached out to the pair for permission to use any part of their song on her album.In the past, other artists who have wanted the same pleasure have done so, but not Bey. “She is such an arrogant person,” the brotherly duo told the publication.

Sun reported. The single was part of Knowles’ hit album “Renaissance,” which debuted at No.

Kate Bush’s record-breaking hit Running Up That Hill was the UK’s biggest song of the summer for 2022, beating the likes of Harry Styles and Beyonce, both of whom released massive new music this year.Originally released in 1985 as the lead track on her Hounds Of Love album, the new-wave song had a global resurgence in popularity after it was featured in the fourth series of Stranger Things as a means of character Max (Sadie Sink) grounding herself in the real world.The song recorded 762,000 chart units over the summer period from the first week of June to the last week of August, the Official Charts Company has said.It also secured the most streams of any song this summer with a whopping 86.6 million and the most digital downloads with more than 42,000.In June, the British singer-songwriter broke a trio of chart records with the song including the longest time taken for a single to reach number one, when the 1980s track finally reached the top spot 37 years after it was released.She also claimed the title of the longest gap between number one singles, as her only other chart-topping moment was 44 years ago with her debut single, Wuthering Heights, in 1978.To round off her trio of records, the song’s summer success made her the oldest female artist ever to score a UK number one, taking the crown from previous holder Cher, as she was 63 years old at the time.Bush gave a rare interview in the aftermath of her song’s massive resurgence, remarking that it was ‘very special’ to her that young audiences were discovering her music for the first time through the hit Netflix show.           The revival of the song – which earned her a pretty penny as well – has meant Bush has seen off competition from music superstars including

Beyonce while in the crowd at the US Open.The Orange Is The New Black star was minding her own business and cheering Serena Williams on when a camera panned to her in the crowd.However, this appeared to cause some confusion on Twitter as one fan got the 50-year-old confused with the Break My Soul singer.Sharing a very brief clip of the actress behind a black face mask, they penned: ‘#Beyoncé at the #USOpen.’Of course, social media went into a meltdown as many rushed to correct the user in question – known as @Choni_ – while others were camped out in the responses and living for the memes.The Twitter account was downright flooded with replies and quote-tweets over the gaffe, and rushed to apologize to Laverne on Twitter.‘My bad.. I wasn’t trying to be funny I promise,’ they wrote.‘I got to excited to see #Beyoncé and though it was her my bad..

Renaissance (★★★★☆), an album that, at its core, captures the physicality of the dancefloor and everything that goes along with it.Its story should sound familiar by now: amid the uncertainty of a global pandemic and the claustrophobia of quarantines and lockdowns, an artist longs for the freedom, expression, and human connection of the club and puts out an album inspired by dance music.Although the COVID dance album has become something of a meta-genre at this point, Beyoncé’s take on it is, unsurprisingly, a standout.Renaissance is undeniably a fun dancefloor fantasy, but it works as well as it does because it is made from a place of intimate familiarity with its genre.

She’s done it! Beyonce has claimed her fourth UK number one album with Renaissance – but missed out on the number one single.The Queen returned with a bang last month as she released her eagerly-awaited seventh studio album – her first since 2016’s Lemonade.It has enjoyed absolutely massive acclaim from both her fans and the critics, and this popularity has now culminated in Renaissance hitting the top spot in the charts.And that’s not all: so successful is the house music album that it outsold its closest competition three to one, despite being hit by certain controversies.However, despite the stunning success of Renaissance, Beyoncé’s lead single Break My Soul failed to break the top spot.It reached number two on the singles chart following tough competition from Afraid To Feel by LF System.Break My Soul is Beyoncé’s highest-charting solo song since If I Was A Boy, which topped the charts and took over the airwaves in 2008 – a whopping 14 years ago.She did, however, get to number one as a featured artist thanks to Lady Gaga’s Telephone in 2010.Break My Soul has yet to have a music video attached to it, though the music icon did tease fans with a ‘cliquebait’ trailer for the upcoming video.In a newly released four-minute 30 seconds visual, Beyoncé starred for just 20 seconds at the start, while the remainder of the video featured a black screen with the album’s name.While her appearance was short it was certainly sweet as the music icon still managed to make a big impact by wearing a risque silver body harness that just about protected her modesty, strappy silver heels, smokey eye shadow and bright red lipstick.There’s plenty more success to come from Queen Bey in the nearfuture however, with fan-favourites Cuff It and

The release of Beyonce’s new album Renaissance has been both an exciting yet frustrating experience so far. Many of us have rejoiced in our droves at the return of the music icon after six long years of virtually no new music save for a few collaborations. Renaissance Act I is truly a musical treat for the ears with Beyonce, 40, wrapping her vocals around an eclectic selection of genres from dance to house and everything in between. It’s certainly her boldest album yet with the singer straying even further away from the archetypal R&B she’s known for, but there’s no denying that she has embraced the world of dance music seamlessly. Safe to say, it’s been refreshing having Beyonce back in our playlists. However, the flip side of her release week has involved the spate of controversies somewhat overshadowing her return. The Single Ladies hitmaker has changed one of the lyrics on her Renaissance track Heated as it caused offence for being an ableist slur.

Beyonce has removed an interpolation of Kelis’s song Milkshake from her new song Energy after facing backlash from the singer.The star had come under fire after releasing her new album Renaissance, which featured an interpolation of Kelis’s 2003 hit song, which Kelis claims came as a surprise to her.Interpolation in music refers to using either parts or the whole melody of a previously recorded song, but re-recording the melody rather than sampling the original. Bey has since removed the segment from Energy on Tidal and Apple after Kelis called out her and The Neptunes for allegedly failing to seek permission for its use.Milkshake was written by The Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, and while Kelis was the singer, only the production duo are credited as songwriters.After the release of Beyonce’s new album, Kelis took to social media to call out the use of her music, claiming she had been unaware it was going to be on Energy.To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 videoResponding to a fan who commented that Beyoncé and Kelis is ‘a collab the world really needs,’ she said: ‘It’s not a collab it’s theft.’Kelis went on: ‘My mind is blown too because the level and disrespect and utter ignorance of all 3 parties involved is astounding.‘I heard about this the same way everyone else did.

Beyonce to remove a lyric from her hit song, Partition, after it was confirmed that an ableist slur from her new Renaissance album would be replaced.The Break My Soul singer sparked backlash from some fans for the lyrics to Heated, on her new record, which included an offensive term which has previously been used to refer to disabled people.The original lyrics read: ‘Sp**zin’ on that ass, s**z on that ass.

Beyonce has been praised by Scope for removing an ableist slur from her new song, Heated.The 40-year-old sent fans into a spin last week after finally releasing new album, Renaissance, on Friday, with millions around the world listening.However, some were left disappointed after the Break My Soul singer included an offensive term in the lyrics, which has previously been used to discuss disabled people.After her rep confirmed that the song would be changed from the current lyrics, ‘Sp**zin’ on that ass, s**z on that ass. Fan me quick, girl, I need my glass,’ the UK disability equality charity shared their official response to the backlash.‘It’s good Beyonce has acted so swiftly after disabled people yet again called out this thoughtless lyric,’ media manager Warren Kirwan said in a statement.‘There’s a feeling of deja vu as it’s just a few weeks since Lizzo also had to re-release a song after featuring the same offensive language.‘We hope this is the last time we see this kind of thing from anyone, let alone musicians with massive global influence.‘Too often offensive language used to refer to disabled people is seen as “harmless”.

Beyonce will remove an ableist slur from her song Heated on her new album Renaissance.Fans were left disappointed at the use of the word which, in the UK, is an offensive term that in the past has been used to talk about disabled people.In her song Heated, lyrics include: ‘Sp**zin’ on that ass, s**z on that ass/Fan me quick, girl, I need my glass.’However, a rep for Beyonce told Insider: ‘The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced.’In the US, the word can mean to ‘go crazy’ or to fight, which may have led to its inclusion.Fans and activists have spoken out about the use of the slur in Beyonce’s song, with Warren Kirwan, Media Manager at disability equality charity Scope, saying: ‘It’s appalling that one of the world’s biggest stars has chosen to include this deeply offensive term.‘Just weeks ago, Lizzo received a huge backlash from fans who felt hurt and let down after she used the same abhorrent language.‘Thankfully she did the right thing and re-recorded the song.

Beyonce has revealed that her seventh studio album, Renaissance, is actually part of a three-act project. The Crazy in Love singer left fans in a frenzy several weeks ago when she announced that she was releasing new music last month after six years. However, fans now have the promise of even more than the 16-track album on the horizon, as Beyonce revealed Renaissance is ‘act one’ of a three-act project.In a statement ahead of the release of the new album, which has so far received rave reviews from critics, Beyonce explained: ‘This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic. ‘A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative. Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world.’She continued: ‘It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving.
