It was only moments away from the clock striking 9:00 AM (local time) when ticket sales would finally go live for the Beyhive Pre-Sale. Still, it didn’t dawn on me until after I pressed the purchase button that none of us have a clue as to what we’re in store for!
Soon after everyone settled from the storm of Beyoncé and Jay-Z mysteriously swiping their tickets clean off Ticketmaster, then magically appearing again just days later, the speculations started to sprout throughout the country.
What will they perform? New hits, old hits? What will she wear? Is she going to finally give us that clear photo of the twins? Will she give in to us and finally share her SnapChat handle? The answers are as mysterious as that elevator fight, but we’re sure having fun joining in on the guessing game!
Check out my top 6 speculations of what to expect at Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s On The Run II Tour:
1. A Joint Album IS Coming!
Yes, you heard it here first and don’t you forget it! I think the powerhouse couple has had this collaboration in the works for a while now. In a recorded interview with journalist and executive editor, Dean Baquet of the New York Times, Jay-Z sits down to unpack his 13th solo album. In this impactful one-on-one, the rapper and music mogul discloses that they used their art as a therapy session to his infidelity and they started making music together to help heal their relationship.
The only reason Beyoncé’s album came out was that her music was further along in production as to opposed to their official joint album coming out. “We still have a lot of that music.”
2. There Will Be Video Montages Galore.
We all know that Beyoncé loves to document her entire existence and loves to sprinkle us with a bit of joy of her off days every now and then. However, her shows have been synonymous with looping in private footage of her and her loved ones in a medley of snippets and outtakes.
Be prepared to say hello to blue and the twins! Well, no not really but you can totally say hi to the images of a foot, an ear, or maybe even the sounds of them in the womb. We’ve already been able to make out at least a silhouette of them, so I’m feeling hopeful and you should too!
3. There Will Be Choreo On Deck
You know Bey, she can’t go on a tour with showing out! Get ready to hold on to your edges, lace, and bundles because I think she will not come to play. Her full formation girls might not be in queue but she’ll bring out the ones we love to see slay the stage.
4. It’s Going to Continue The Bonnie & Clyde Sequel
So, the cat’s kind of already out of the bag on this one. They’ve recently been spotted riding dirty in Jamaica on two-wheelers and filming in the belly of Kingston.
I speculate they will show how their marriage almost fell apart to the point of hatred and revenge. Think Kill Bill meets Bonnie & Clyde, meets Wakanda (this may be a stretch). However, they’ll reenact scenes of Beyoncé calling up her melanin warriors to ultimately find Jay-Z for total payback and domination. Hmm… I can see the outfits now.
5. They’ll Be The New Faces of Love After Infidelity
In a pinnacle, inspiring way of course. The joint album is going to tellus everything. It might even come as a guide to fix your relationship after unfaithfulness. I think it will be raw and uncut, while also making us jam in our seats. They will let us in like they’ve never done before, and I’m going to even further to say that they may debut a joint relationship book! Who knows, the sky’s the limit with these two.
6. The Outfits Will Be Very Subtle.
As the complete opposite of what we’re used to seeing from the queen, I have an odd feeling that she’s going to give us momentous color but in a sleek, subtle way. Known for her extravagant gowns, headpieces, prints, and bodysuits. I think she’s going to cross over into a bit of monochromatic phase and give us all life!
As for Jay-Z errrr, do we really care? JK (love ya Jay!)
