Beyoncé is in a league of her own, a stratosphere of her own. If the Grammys can’t recognize that? Well, they never deserved her in the first place. (8/8)

Garth Brooks wasn’t country because he blended styles. So, what even is country? What is pop? What is R&B? These labels are too small for true artists. (Even Morgan Wallen’s new song Smile leans into R&B influences—y’all hear that?) (7/8)

Let’s be real: Beyoncé is a CONCEPTUAL ARTIST in every sense. Every lyric, every instrument, every falsetto, every run—it’s all intentional. She’s not just making music; she’s reclaiming culture, rewriting narratives, and teaching real history through her art. (2/8)
