Beyonce Kicks Off Mrs. Carter Tour, Delays New Single

Beyonce kicked off the well anticipated Mrs. Carter World Tour yesterday, April 15, in Serbia where she flaunted some risqué get ups but didn’t reveal a new single for her fans.

“The Mrs. Carter Show” has officially begun as the R&B Queen dominated the large stage in Belgrade, Serbia during the first night of her massive world tour.

Some of the first photos from the show are finally hitting the web and reveal Queen Bey in her usual sexy stage ensembles.

Mrs. Carter shows off some serious leg in an all white number that features some sort of peplum style skirt and short combo.

Another outfit transformed the “Bow Down” songstress into a flashier version of Catwoman when she emerged in a full black bedazzled body suit.

The low cut opening in the front was enough to show off come cleavage while still preventing any major nip clips on stage.

Somehow, Baddie Bey even forced herself to kill those crazy dance moves in a leather outfit.

Some thigh high boots reassured us that Mrs. Carter had to be burning up under all that leather, but she didn’t mind getting a few degrees hotter for the sake of her fans.

Perhaps her strangest ensemble for the night was a glittery fitted body suit that gave the appearance of bare breasts – a part of Bey’s feminism movement maybe? We don’t know, but it was a tad bizarre.

Meanwhile the Beyhive shouldn’t’ be expecting the powerhouse singer to belt out any new singles – not now anyway.

In her quest for perfection, Blue Ivy’s mommy has decided to delay the release of her new single according to The Huffington Post:

Now, The Sun is reporting that Beyonce’s quest for perfection is the reason for the song’s delay. “Beyonce is a perfectionist – and her biggest competition is herself,” an unnamed source told the UK publication. “She won’t put anything out as her first single until she’s 100 percent sure it will be a classic. She’s putting pressure on herself for it to be a hit of ‘Single Ladies’ calibre, and to make sure she’s on top of the game.”

The source also explained that “Grown Woman” may not even be Beyonce’s next single, adding, “The first single was supposed to be ‘Grown Woman’ – but that got canceled and used as a teaser for her new Pepsi ad.”

Baddie Bey may not be releasing any new music, but Drake sure is and the R&B songstress herself has apparently inspired the track.

Drake’s “Girls Love Beyonce” isn’t our favorite song by Drizzy but he certainly has some impressive lines thrown in there.

The song talks about Drizzy’s challenges finding love in such a money hungry industry.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
