However, in the tweet directly above some of this text, you can see that the book also contains what appears to be a setlist. Although, there are some theories about this setlist and whether or not it is actually legitimate. The original poster wrote “Beyoncé put a fake setlist in the tour book. this girl knows her fans.” Subsequently, another user brought up that this could be an early draft. This would suggest the setlist is not actually fake, after all. At this point, however, it is clear that no one actually knows.

Today (May 10), Beyoncé‘s highly anticipated Renaissance World Tour kicks off in Stockholm, Sweden. Since announcing the tour back in February, the Beyhive has been abuzz, anxious for details about the tour.

At this time, not a whole lot is known about the tour, or the visual elements, as Bey is known for remaining tight-lipped. Even hours before the show is set to kick off, fans aren’t even sure about an opener for the Renaissance World Tour.

Does Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in Europe have an opening act?

Before the Renaissance World Tour was officially announced, several acts were rumored to be on the shortlist to be considered openers for Queen Bey.

Rapper Bree Runway was among those who was reportedly being considered, as well as R&B girl group, FLO. Fans also spectated that Chlöe may also open for Beyoncé, as her solo debut album, In Pieces was announced around the same time.

However, at the time of writing, no official opening acts have been reported. However, the Beyhive knows the Queen loves delivering a good surprise. As Bey is known to drop surprise albums, surprised remixes, and surprise visuals, it’s not unlikely that she would include an opening act in her show without prior announcement.

Tonight (May 10) is the first night of Beyoncé‘s Renaissance World Tour, which kicks off in Stockholm, Sweden. While the Beyhive has been buzzing with anticipation, not much is known about the tour, the setlist, or the visual elements, and we’ve been anxious for a taste of what to expect.

It appears some fans have gotten their hands on an early copy of Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour book. Several fans have taken to social media to share images from the book, which includes corresponding artwork for each of the Renaissance album’s songs.

Additionally, an alleged copy of the setlist also appears in the tour book, though some fans believe this setlist isn’t what it seems to be. Some fans have theorized that the alleged setlist is fake, to keep the actual setlist from leaking.

“Beyoncé put a fake setlist in the tour book,” said one member of the Beyhive on Twitter. “this girl knows her fans.”

The setlist contains notes in pen, as well as other markings, so some fans don’t believe that it’s fake, but rather an early iteration.

“This looks like an early draft, but not necessarily ‘fake,’” said another fan.

If the setlist is real, it looks like fans can look forward to hearing much of the Renaissance fan favorites, including “Break My Soul,” “Cuff It,” “Alien Superstar,” and more. Some of her other hits, including “Diva,” “Run The World (Girls),” and “Savage (Remix)” with Megan Thee Stallion also seem to be on the alleged set list.

You can see images of the alleged tour book above.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

AJay Slammed On Social Media For Negative “Renaissance” Video

by

Renaissance was yet another commercial hit for Beyoncé. Debuting at #1, Beyoncé extended her record for most consecutive albums to debut at #1. It spent 14 weeks in the top 10. By the end of the year, Renaissance had the third-biggest debut of the year and was certified platinum.

The general consensus was that Renaissance was yet another Beyoncé banger. However, of course, there are going to be those that disagree. And among those is popular YouTuber AJay Deluxe. According to a summary of her “first listen” video by Pop Tingz, AJay was not a fan. “I did not enjoy myself listening to [RENAISSANCE] to be honest … It’s my least favorite Beyoncé album on my initial listen and usually her albums get better. But this one, not so much honey.” AJay’s full video is 30 minutes long. The YouTuber, who has 900,000 subscribers, is well known for her “first listen” review videos.

Twitter (Mostly) Doesn’t Have Time For AJay

A negative review of a popular album ten months after its release is often nothing more than a clout chase. That is especially the case when your review comes out five days before the artist in question embarks on a four-month world tour. The Renaissance World Tour is set to kick off on May 10 in Stockholm and finish on September 27 in New Orleans. The covers 12 countries and 17 US states, plus DC. The tour also continues a total of 57 concert stops.https://twitter.com/iigalore/status/1654639634863861760 However, the tour does not leave Europe and North America. Despite this, it’s a major undertaking for the performer.

However, Twitter and the Bey Hive had little time for AJay’s clowning. The fandom saw through the transparent attempt at clout-chasing and instead took to dunking on the YouTuber mercilessly. However, some people also defended the album as a “grower”, and nothing that is always immediately liked on the first listen. Be sure to check down below for some of the best responses to AJay’s review. But what do you think about it? Do you think AJay has a point? Or is this just some attention-seeking behavior? Let us know in the comments below!

Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Track ‘Cuff It’ Is Still Breaking Records, Several Months After Its Release

Beyoncé‘s Renaissance was undoubtedly one of the biggest, if not the biggest, release of 2022. The album was full of hits; the lead single “Break My Soul” is a timeless banger, and “Alien Superstar” kept fans entertained and making memes.

Months later, the album is still kicking it, especially “Cuff It.” The song has exceeded her beloved classic hit “Halo” as her longest-charting solo song of all time on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, according to Pop Base on Twitter. The feat has fans celebrating.

Renaissance was also recently the inspiration for a collection with Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing. About it, Rousteing said, “I was sketching and sketching as I listened, and sometimes you can’t control the emotion of your sketch… it wasn’t something I was supposed to be doing but I was just inspired by the music to do it.”

Beyoncé’ praised it, writing, “Thank you @olivier_rousteing and @balmain for bringing RENAISSANCE to life in couture,” she wrote. “Designing alongside you was freeing—thank you for allowing me to celebrate the human form, to take artistic risks, to push boundaries and to freely express myself. To the @voguefrance team, thank you for trusting in our vision and sharing it with the world.”

Beyoncé Unveils Balmain x “RENAISSANCE” Couture

Beyoncé just unveiled some stunning outfits and designs modeled as part of her Balmain x RENAISSANCE couture. Not only that, but the pieces themselves are lavish, eye-catching, sometimes obtuse, and just as full of vision and personality as you’d expect. After all, the star singer had one of the most successful, acclaimed, and opulent albums of last year, so it’s only right that her fashion forays follow suit. Moreover, there are creative incorporations of objects like (or semblances of) chandeliers, vinyl records, and lamps. Also, she shared a picture of herself alongside designer Olivier Rousteing and a message for her collaborators.

“Thank you @olivier_rousteing and @balmain for bringing RENAISSANCE to life in couture,” the 41-year-old wrote. “Designing alongside you was freeing—thank you for allowing me to celebrate the human form, to take artistic risks, to push boundaries and to freely express myself. To the @voguefrance team, thank you for trusting in our vision and sharing it with the world.” Of course, the stunning designs appeared as part of a cover story on Vogue France. With these designs, she continues to establish herself as a visionary and as an impactful creator in many different fields. However, she can’t do it alone, and much of its greatness is owed to Rousteing.

Beyoncé Shows Off Balmain x RENAISSANCE Couture

“Dear @beyonce creating this couture collection with you was more than a dream,” Olivier, who is the creative director for Balmain since 2011, penned on IG. “You inspired me everyday since the beginning of my career. Renaissance is more than an album it’s FREEDOM , it’s STRENTGH , LOVE and BATTLE FOR A BETTER FUTURE. 16 coutures couture looks for 16 songs and now our couture Renaissance is out and I have tears in my eyes when I see all what we did. Thank you for being You. For creating together on the rhythm of Renaissance and sharing both arts: music and Fashion together. You were right it’s our Virgo Power and I love You forever.

“You know, I was just a kid from Bordeaux dreaming about Fashion, dreaming of finding my place in this industry that has been really tough,” he continued in a separate post. “But today I celebrate 2 incredible chapters. One is this incredible Renaissance couture designed with you @beyonce, inspiring me everyday and sketching alongside with you is UNIQUE and that’s definitely what you are. Two is the honor to be on VOGUE COVER. Fashion industry hasn’t always be easy on me and thank you @eugenietrochu to believe and let express our ART. People sometimes forget how hard it is to create your own space in this industry but thank you for being supportive and show the world what I believe in, what I’m fighting for, simply who we are.” Check out the incredible designs above and stick around on HNHH for the latest on Beyoncé.
