Year of the Bey.

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days, on Friday Dec.13 Beyonce released her long awaited fifth studio album, simply titled ‘Beyonce’. It’s described as a visual album and includes 14 songs and 17 videos.

What’s so amazing about this release is that she was able to keep it a secret!! There was no promotion for the album at all!!! No interviews, no sneak peek album cover, no cryptic Twitter/Instagram messages, NOTHING! Even the people involved with the album or videos didn’t say anything. For this reason, and more, is why I believe Beyonce is having the best year EVER!

In January, Beyonce sang the national anthem at President Obama’s second inauguration and after 234567 years, we were blessed with new music from Destiny’s Child.The trio released an album titled Love Songs that featured some DC3 classics but also featured a new song— “Nuclear”.

In February, Bey shut the Super Bowl down with her half time performance which resulted in a power outage. It’s like she literally gathered all of the energy from that building and used it to perform a phenomenal halftime show. I’m not mad at you, girl! That same night, she announced that she would be going on world tour— The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. The next week “Love on Top”, from her fourth studio album, won her a well deserved Grammy. By Feb. 16, she was sitting down with Auntie Oprah for an interview that shed light on her life and the many hats  crowns she wears daily. Following that interview, her documentary Life is But a Dream aired on HBO.

By April, she began her world tour and was also featured in H&M’s 2013 Summer Collection ads.The
