Two of the most recognizable figures in America, Beyonce and Hillary Clinton, met on the set of the singer’s private video shoot last Thursday.

The R&B sensation and music mogul filmed segments of an unknown music video when the Democratic presidential candidate made a visit, according to the latest issue of Us Weekly. It has not yet been determined if Clinton will be featured in any parts of the video. However, it is certain that the two support each other’s work.

Time reported that Beyonce attended a fundraiser in May for Clinton’s presidential campaign. Likewise, during a recent interview at a town hall meeting in Iowa,   Clinton was asked, “If you could choose, would you rather be the president or Beyonce?”

In Clinton’s response, she gave the singer the highest affirmation: “Nobody would pay to see me sing or dance. You see her on TV, it’s impressive; you see her in person, you’re just stunned. Thinking like, how does she do that? Really. I mean, she’s singing, she’s up and she’s down. She’s just amazing,” Clinton said.

After stunning the world at the Super Bowl with “Formation,” Hits Daily Double reports Beyonce’s new album is set to be released in the beginning of April.

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.
