To me her over-the-top extra-ness is such classic celebrity behavior that you just have to enjoy it.

Like... a Beyonce archive modeled after the Library of Congress!!! 😂😂😂

"This... confidence? Arrogance? Delusion? was not helped by the description of her zealous work ethic: "When she’s on tour, every night she heads back to her hotel room with a DVD of the show she’s just performed. Before going to sleep, she watches that show, critiquing herself, her dancers, her cameramen. The next morning, everyone receives pages of notes."

It's so weird that this is seen as weird now. I remember in the late 90's Britney, *NSYNC, etc. we're said to record and review all of their concerts that night after the show.

Sort of like how in sports they watch game tape to get better.

most musicians now a days would greatly benefit from doing that. it'd improve so many live shows.

Yeah I am confused as to what is so bad about this lol she clearly wants to put on the best show possible for her audience

“She feels that she deserves her zillionaire lifestyle, though. "I’ve worked harder than probably anyone I know, at least in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it."”

This is the only part that bothered me.

Right? As much as I admire her work ethic, ambition, and talent, she (like all rich people tbh) has horrible politics.

[rhenna_navi]

Yeah this is definitely the worst part.

[leighbee333]

yeah this, and working with terry richardson

[peddlestools]

I knew it was terry because the photos looked like they were taken by a 12 year old with a cheap point and shoot camera

[vikingsmn]

I hate the photos. They're just so unsexy and OF COURSE Terry Richardson was the photographer.
