Beyoncé surprised everyone when she announced the release of two new songs during the Super Bowl on Sunday. However, it is the revealing photo accompanying this revelation that is causing a lot of negative comments on social networks.
“I was not emotionally prepared for this,” writes the American magazine InStyle under the photo of Beyoncé, dressed in a cowboy hat, huge earrings, a short jacket, a metal bra and a simple belt that drops a metal heart in front of her intimate area, without underwear.
The hundreds of comments under the tabloid's publication show how much this publication worries, disturbs and even shocks many Internet users. In particular, Queen B is accused of desperately disrobing in this way to attract attention.
“Why does she have to be almost naked? It borders on pornography. For what? This is just going too far. She’s a fantastic singer and performer, she doesn’t need any of that,” one woman wrote.
“Vulgar and unnecessary,” “I’m desperately trying to keep up, so I’m taking off my clothes.” Not cool at all,” we read.
Many also believe that when pop artists suddenly turn to country music, it is often because they are trying to revive their flagging careers. He is also criticized for not being a particularly good role model for his three children and his young admirers.
Others speculate that the 42-year-old star, who has yet to win a Grammy for Album of the Year (as her husband Jay-Z reminded us onstage at the recent ceremony), would like to win the Grammy for Country Album next year.
Under the singer's release, the comments are more nuanced, with fans instead praising their idol's boldness; both for the photo and for revealing this big news in the middle of the Super Bowl.
Anyway, Beyoncé's new songs 16 Carriages and Texas Hold 'Em are now accessible. Beyoncé's next album will be released on March 29th.
