Proof Beyoncé's New Video Is Flawless
Red Alert: The queen has done it again. Beyoncé has dropped a flawless music video for her latest single "Formation." You may ask yourself: "Why does Beyoncé like to keep her fans on their toes quite like this?" The answer is because she is Beyoncé and she can do whatever she pleases. And while it has been two years since Beyoncé has released new music, I am happy to report that the "Formation" music video is solid proof that Beyoncé still slays.
Not only is Beyonce going to set the Super Bowl halftime show ablaze with her flawlessness alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars on Sunday, but the video for "Formation" is a gorgeous display of politically-charged, unapologetically honest, badass lyricism and imagery. It's an ode to New Orleans, it brings attention to the Black Lives Matter movement, it pays tribute to her roots, and it's Bey being real. That can't be beat.
Though Beyoncé has displayed her support of movements like Black Lives Matter in the past, "Formation" proves the singer may no longer going to remain silent. In amongst the fantastical clothing and great dance moves, Beyoncé presents a powerful message in a way that only she can. Beyoncé is powerful, and she is demanding change.
Whether in the political sphere, the fashion game, or the music world — Beyoncé slays and "Formation" is just another example of her greatness.
