Oprah Gets First Dibs on Beyonce After Grammy Victory

Posted byBy Taylor Gordon | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Oprah Winfrey is known for nabbing the best interviews at just the right time, and now she’s adding Beyonce to the list.

Beyonce had a great night at the Grammys and has had a hectic schedule filming her HBO documentary, performing at the Super Bowl, and gracing the cover of Vogue. With that being said, it’s only right that the queen of journalism gets first dibs on interviewing the queen of R&B in the midst of all her success.

Blue Ivy’s mommy walked away with a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B performance for her hit “Love On Top,” but you can bet that Oprah’s interview will go much deeper than that.

The journalism veteran has never been shy of asking the tough questions and getting right down to digging up the dirt so expect to hear more about the lip syncing rumors from the inauguration, more details about the HBO documentary, her upcoming world tour and even how her past year has been as a new mommy.

Winfrey herself couldn’t help but tweet her joy about bagging an interview with the megastar.

“Can’t wait to talk to @Beyonce,” she tweeted. “Special #NextChapter on OWN Saturday night 8/7c. Yea u heard that correctly. BEYONCE and I sit down Saturday nite.”

Being on the “Wrong Side of a Love Song” makes Melanie Fiona a little bi-polar… And it’s all on video. {Rap-UP}

Rihanna’s “Diamonds” on her fingers catch more attention than the song – did Chris Brown propose? Maybe that explains their unabashed snuggling fest! {UK DailyMail}

Carrie Underwood changes her dress over and over again on stage with everyone watching!? Well… sort of. {Yahoo News}

Someone is pulling Lil Mama out of the deep dark realm of irrelevance to play Left Eye in a new VH1 film. We’re not joking. {Necole Bitchie}

 

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
