Author Autumn Hawkins
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 05: Beyoncé accepts Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for “Renaissance” onstage during the 65th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 05, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

Ahead of her Renaissance birthday show, Beyoncé released a new song titled “Nine Four Eight One.” While it’s not an official release, the tribute was made on Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment’s Instagram page hours before her Los Angeles show. The song is by Kevin Aviance, Kevin JZ Prodigy, and TS Madison.

“Miss Tina, Miss Tina, what can we say,” the Beyoncé tribute starts off praising her mom Tina Knowles. “You gave birth to her on this day / The magic that we all have seen / Made many of us happy, baby / Everything we see is pure.”

The EDM track gets some spicy adlibs from Madison (who appeared on the Renaissance track “Cozy”) towards the end, “They say Yonce all on his mouth like liquor / She still all on his mouth like liquor/ You know why? / She’s Beyonce, bitch / Beyonce is not to be compared to any other bitch.”

The line “Yonce all on his mouth like liquor” is an ode to Beyoncé’s 2013 song “Partition” from her self-titled album.

Beyoncé had a special night celebrating her 42nd birthday on Monday (Sept. 4). She closed out her Los Angeles tour stops but before she left, she surprised fans with bringing out Kendrick Lamar on stage. The two performed their “America Has A Problem” remix for the first time since it was released in June. According to fan videos, a technical issue prevented Kendrick from fully performing as his mic didn’t seem to work.

After Beyoncé surprised fans, she was then caught off guard when Diana Ross went on stage to sing “Happy Birthday” to her along with the audience.

Beyoncé is headed to Vancouver next week for the next stop on the Renaissance Tour.  She will hit Seattle, Dallas, her home city of Houston, and New Orleans before her tour ends on Oct. 1 in Kansas City.

Hidden underneath her hat, are matching sunglasses that could blind you by the sparkle.

  • Atlanta

For her makeup, she added a large outline of a wing but was still subtle to match her soft glam look which was accentuated by the soft waves in her hair.

  • Las Vegas

    Beyoncé truly made a statement when she walked out on stage in this elaborate Vegas look. She wore a chrome thin strapped body suit with silver fringe at the top with over the knee boots completely covered in fringe then accentuated every time she walked.

Keeping with a futuristic look, the Grammy winner also wore oversized shield sunglasses.

  • Las Vegas

    Beyoncé put a whole new meaning to “women in tech” with this outfit that she wore in Vegas. Her bodysuit featured multiple tech devices such as usb cords, a flip phone, and several other cords. She also completed the look with flip phone earrings and silver thigh high chrome boots.
