2 quick thoughts re: Concerts “discourse” 1) I think it’s important to remember that not every fan gets to do every tour. I didn’t get to see .@VictoriaMonet in her last cycle. Im excited for a chance to finally see her at a time that works for me & hear things I love live!

2) At its core, concert experiences are rooted in both individual prioritization and disposable income. We all make choices on who is and isn’t non-negotiable. I think contingency on liking new music isn’t always fair to artists who love to perform. It’s a delicate balance.

While I appreciate the @LimeScooters_ integration into @Uber, it's really not helpful to not overlay the no-scooter zones with scooter availability when starting. There's nothing more frustrating that starting a session, then 5 minutes into it reaching an entire no scooter zone.

This was an ABSOLUTE HIT at the dance clubs in the US (as evident in chart). I Couldn’t go to a gay bar in 2010/2011 and not hear this at some point in the night. My goodness 😮‍💨😮‍💨
I had no idea Who’s That Chick was a Smash Hit😭

What’s crazy about a Beyoncé Concert is that the day after you’ll see folks upload their photos and stuff and you’ll be like YOU WAS AT THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT TOO?!?! Friend and I both had this happen on sepeate occasions 😅☠️

Baby all I needed was a night out at Backstage in Atlanta and my Southern chakras have been indefinitely reset to endure the summer ahead in New England. Black ATL never ceases to not be good for the soul.

Not me realizing 2.5 hours into the show, the Grammys are definitely giving televised fundraiser show style with all these performances instead of awards being given out 😅😅😅

That performance really affirmed how fun of an album Cowboy Carter was. I just said it was too short but she got so much in that time period! Also, A hell of a punctuation mark heading jnto the final days of Grammy voting too. 🙂
