Beyonce priced out of fashion? Still seeking ‘right partner’ after costly Adidas flop
NewsNation that the “Heated” singer “really loves fashion and wants to get back into it ,but needs the right partner” after her partnership with Adidas for her line Ivy Park ended last year.Beyonce has an undeniable mega influence on fashion — the release of her latest country singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” have spurred a resurgence in western style, and her appearance in Luar’s front row at New York Fashion Week was all the buzz.But Beyonce has yet to drop a clothing collection since her final collaboration with Adidas, Ivy Park Noir, in October 2023, although she just launched her haircare line, Cécred.An anonymous insider claimed to NewsNation her deal with Adidas was allegedly worth $100 million — the sportswear brand supposedly doled out $20 million per year for Beyonce’s brand Ivy Park — but the athleisure line reportedly “never made any money.” When Adidas allegedly offered her $7 million a year, the insider claimed “she turned them down.” In February 2023, the Wall Street Journal reported that sales of Ivy Park had plummeted, dropping by over 50% in 2022. According to the report, about half of the product in multiple collections had gone unsold, and only brought in $40 million in 2022 — a stark contrast from the $93 million the year before.The Journal said the line was “losing money for Adidas.”In March 2023, just a month later, the Hollywood Reporter broke the news that the sportswear giant and Beyonce had mutually decided to part ways.

Students at $67K-a-year Yale offered course on Beyoncé and ‘Black Radical Tradition’
99 Grammy nominations and acclaim as one of the most influential artists in music history, pop superstar Beyoncé and her expansive cultural legacy will be the subject of a new course at Yale University next year.Titled “Beyoncé Makes History: Black Radical Tradition, Culture, Theory & Politics Through Music,” the one-credit class will focus on the period from her 2013 self-titled album through this year’s genre-defying “Cowboy Carter” and how the world-famous singer, songwriter and entrepreneur has generated awareness and engagement in social and political ideologies.Yale University’s African American Studies Professor Daphne Brooks intends to use the performer’s wide-ranging repertoire, including footage of her live performances, as a “portal” for students to learn about Black intellectuals, from Frederick Douglass to Toni Morrison.“We’re going to be taking seriously the ways in which the critical work, the intellectual work of some of our greatest thinkers in American culture resonates with Beyoncé’s music and thinking about the ways in which we can apply their philosophies to her work” and how it has sometimes been at odds with the “Black radical intellectual tradition,” Brooks said.Beyoncé, whose full name is Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is not the first performer to be the subject of a college-level course.

Riding with Bey: How Beyoncé got Willie Jones to saddle up in the ‘fourth quarter’ for ‘Cowboy Carter’
“Texas Hold ’Em” singer made a last-minute pitch to country upstart Willie Jones to appear on her new “Cowboy Carter” opus — with the album deadline fast approaching to make her March 29 release date — it was either go big or stay home.“It was literally in the fourth quarter,” Jones, 29, told The Post of recording his “Just for Fun” duet with Beyoncé in the final stages of “Cowboy Carter.” “It was literally … end of February, February 20-something.”Jones got the call that would change his life from Alex Vickery, who produced his vocals on “Just for Fun” — which, despite its title, is a decidedly moody meditation.“She’s like, ‘Are you sitting down?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And she’s like, ‘You know Beyoncé is working on a country album … [and] she loves your voice.’ I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ She was like, ‘Can you come out here tomorrow?’ I was like, ‘Send the car.’ ”And now the Shreveport, Louisiana native is galloping into history as one of the Black country artists spotlighted by Beyoncé Knowles Carter on “Cowboy Carter” — the undisputed event record of 2024 — which just scored the biggest sales week of the year in its chart-topping debut on the Billboard 200. Released to rave reviews (including mine), the LP also made Queen B the first Black woman to reign over the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, while simultaneously holding the top three spots on the Hot Country Songs chart led by her No.

Yeehaw or nah? The verdict on Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ collabs with Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and more
cover of her certified classic “Jolene,” which recently turned 50.“Hey Miss Honey B, it’s Dolly P,” says Parton, 79, with all her familiar, down-home warmth.“You know that hussy with the good hair you sing about?” she continues, referencing the infamous, man-stealing “Becky” from “Lemonade” standout “Sorry.”“Reminding me of someone I knew back when/Except she has flamin’ locks of auburn hair … Just a hair of a different color, but it hurts just the same.”Then Bey takes the mic to deliver a soulful, acoustic-guitar-strumming rendition of Parton’s seminal hit — which, after being released in October 1973, went on to top the country chart as the title track of the singer’s 1974 album.Although it is as country as country gets, there is a bit of a hip-hop thump behind the propulsive beat to let you know that this is still very much a Beyoncé album.And after all the ballroom house beats of the first act of “Renaissance” — which came out in July 2022 — this is Bey unplugged, raw and rootsy, breaking down how betrayal knows no color before a whoop-ass choir backs her up at the end.But Parton isn’t the only country legend who — after Beyoncé hinted that she was not “welcomed” when she performed “Daddy Lessons” with the Chicks at the CMA Awards in 2016 — co-signs on “Cowboy Carter.”O.G. outlaw Willie Nelson appears in two interludes — “Smoke Hour” and “Smoke Hour II” — as the host of a radio show on KNTRY in Beyoncé’s native Texas.

Welcome to the Rodeo-sance: Beyoncé goes country on 2 new surprise singles
Beyoncé is entering her Cowgirl Era.If you thought that Bey was just randomly rocking cowboy hats all of a sudden — from the promo pics for her “Renaissance” album and tour to merch and her Grammys look just over a week ago — then you don’t know Bey.And like the marketing queen that she is, she used the biggest audience possible — in a Super Bowl 2024 commercial for Verizon that ended with Beyoncé saying “Drop the new music” — to tease the arrival of two new surprise country singles: “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages.”On a night that was supposed to belong to another pop superstar — Super Bowl LVIII halftime show headliner Usher — once again B was causing all the conversation.(We’re sure that Usher was all good with it — after his epic extravaganza at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, he reportedly went ahead and got married to his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea.)But here we are beginning what is “Act II” of the “Renaissance” rollout, which began with “Act I” — a house-music manifesto led by her No. 1 hit “Break My Soul” — in 2022.But judging by “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages,” Beyoncé is now taking us from the clubs to the country on “Act II,” which, thankfully — no surprises here — we know is due March 29.Welcome to the Rodeo-sance.It shouldn’t be a complete shock that the all-time Grammy winner can actually do country music.

7 fiercest moments in Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ film, including her surprise new single
Beyoncé asked rhetorically on 2011’s “Run the World (Girls).”And in 2023, there’s no doubt that it has been Bey and Tay — Taylor Swift, of course — who not only have had blockbuster summer tours but have followed that up with theatrical film releases this fall that have been bigger events than any Marvel movie.But while “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which opened to boffo box office in October, is more of a straight-up concert flick, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” which hit cinemas on Friday, doubles as a documentary that gives you a behind-the-curtain look at the notoriously private pop diva.For a superstar who basically stopped doing interviews years ago, this is a rare glimpse at how the “Break My Soul” singer makes the magic — and motherhood — happen. Even if, as the film’s director, she’s controlling her own narrative.And if you came for a cozy-in-my-seat close-up of all the costumes and choreography, there’s plenty of that too over the nearly three-hour Beypic.Here, we break down the seven fiercest “Renaissance” moments — in order of appearance — both on and off the stage.Beyoncé gets real about “the mental strength and the mental stability required to survive” as a black female boss operating at the highest of levels in the game.“I feel like, being a black woman, the way people communicate with me is different,” she says.

Beyoncé teases ‘the Renaissance is not over’ in new concert film trailer
Beyoncé — dropped a new trailer for her much-hyped concert film “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.” “To close my eyes and travel through realms of space and time, reality holds no power or control of my state of mind on my voyage to find a source to charge my inner being,” she intones over a moody montage of scenes from her epic 2023 tour at the beginning of the film’s third trailer.“Welcome to the Renaissance,” a choir of Beyoncé’s sings, as if you didn’t already know that said tour was the subject of this concert film.The film is set to be released on December 1, World AIDS Day, in honor of Beyoncé’s late Uncle Jonny — her inspiration for “Renaissance,” who died from AIDS-related complications early in her career.Then, some stadium stage-slaying and private family feels find Beyoncé reflecting on just how fierce she has run the world — as well as the household.“In this world that is very male-dominated, I’ve had to be really tough to balance motherhood and being on the stage … It just reminds me of who I really am.”Finally, after a nod to the “Renaissance” visuals that the fans have been clamoring for since the album dropped in July 2022 — “You are the visuals, baby,” she teases — Beyoncé makes it clear that the revolution has just begun, y’all.“It’s a new birth.
