This week, Beyoncé released her seventh studio album, Renaissance. Soon — if the messages hidden in the album’s various promotional images are true — the final days foretold in Revelation will come.
Or, at least, that’s what some people believe. Social media has told us for years that Beyoncé is a member of the Illuminati. Now, the Internet is getting an extra addendum: Today, Beyoncé isn’t necessarily trying to run the world — she’s just trying to tell us it’s over.
It starts with the image of a horse. Cover of Renaissance is a striking shot of Beyoncé almost naked, wearing high heels on top of a silver horse. This month’s cover brother Vogue is a striking shot of Beyoncé riding a red one. Newsweek explain the rest: “In July 2020, Beyoncé sits atop a pure white horse Black is king and in August 2022 she posed with a black horse for Harper’s Bazaar. It’s a simple enough equation: Beyoncé. Horse. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse — one on a white horse, a red one, a black one, and a pale one. Plague, War, Famine and Death. When they appear, it means that our earthly world is over.
At least a TikToker explained that Beyoncé is getting her hands on: the literal realization of the Biblical Book of Revelation (one-third of the world dies instantly and all that) because “they [vaguely defined “they,” presumably Illuminati-adjacent] must tell you what’s next on the agenda. “If you want to dig deeper, you can lose yourself in a 42-minute YouTube video that promises that”Beyoncé OPENS THE Devil’s Gate in July. (With only a few days left in the month, she should hurry.)
Writer Titi Shodiya, who analyzed Beyoncé’s career on the podcast Dissect, states that the Beyoncé Apocalypse era is a natural continuation of the Beyoncé Illuminati era. “She is very good at what she does, she has a lot of influence and power, everything she does is very delicate,” said Shodiya. “Most people don’t understand how one person can do it right all the time. To compensate for our own insecurities, we must project. We say ‘That’s impossible. There must be some kind of magic attached to it, aka the Illuminati. ‘ But really, it’s because she works really hard, she’s really serious about her craft, she spends her time and surrounds herself with people that she trusts as well. talent. “
Beyoncé is too good. She never wavered. She’s not really one of us. Let’s talk about the horses and the long history of theorizing around superstardom, and it really isn’t a leap to “Beyoncé is in vogue at the end of the day”. To make this important point, I ask Beyoncé directly: So To be Beyoncé tells us the end of the world is coming? “No, I don’t think so,” Shodiya laughed. But “I’m open to other interpretations.”
