Actions speak louder than words, especially if you're Beyoncé. The New York Times has pointed out that the Grammy winner's latest magazine spread, for Vogue's coveted September issue, is without any word from the singer herself. Considering the fact that the fashion bible generally offers up lengthy, juicy sit-downs with their cover stars, it's a bit of a mystery as to why the reigning queen of pop chose to remain silent. And yet, here we are scratching our heads over something that she very clearly orchestrated from the get-go.
Instead of a Q&A with Bey herself, the mag's steamy photo spread was juxtaposed alongside a short essay on Mrs. Carter's career by none other than Pulitzer-winning writer Margo Jefferson.
The Times reached out to Jefferson, to get some insight as to how the couture-heavy September piece came about. "It was definitely posed to me as…call it a think piece if you want," she explained. "I had no contact with her camp." Peculiar at the very least and definitely conspiracy-inducing for the diehard Beyhive, but maybe going silent has its benefits? The bold move could be a response to the flak she got after hyping a big reveal days before a Good Morning America segment discussing her partnership with a vegan meal plan.
Fans around the globe went into overdrive guessing what the announcement could be, and lashed out on social media after the news hit the morning program. But that's not to say that Bey would ever let that bother her. She's been notoriously picky about what platforms of social media she chooses to stay active on, too.
And between the Instagram photos of her and her family on lavish holiday vacations, or sexy selfies dressed in nothing but ridiculously priced swimwear, it's safe to say that we've seen plenty of Bey over the past year…but that's about it.
Chh.. I mean she's too famous to perform her new single on the Ellen Show or something like that but if President Obama can sit down on Jimmy Kimmel she is hardly too famous for it.
Nobody is too famous for an interview, lol. I suppose Beyonce feels like she has nothing to say anymore - her career speaks for itself - which is absolutely fair enough.
She is both a private and extremely professional person, so it makes sense. She's not the type to goof around with an interviewer and talk about some boring crap like the struggles of being a mother. We've all heard that before from countless people and it's not particularly interesting.
She's been doing interviews since the 90s for almost 20 years, I think she has deserved the right to bypass them at this point. Not E doing an article about this too, ha impact.
i think she is just getting tired of the media part of the industry. she enjoys making usic and performing and wants ppl to hear her music but i think she hates the interviews and what not. remember she is shy, not very good with words and all in all likes to keep a mysterious vibe/aura around her. so in a way its better for her to not be so "accessible". its benefited her greatly before so why should she stop now?
No, definitely not. There are people more famous than her who still do interviews. She chooses not to do them and I actually think that's a good decision on her part because she doesn't tend to come across very well in interviews. For some stars interviews are great promotional tools and they help to sell whatever product they may be offering but with Beyoncé I don't think they help her or her brand, if anything they hinder it.

Considering she's going to be a hot topic regardless of her talking herself or not...
When did Beyoncé say out of her mouth "Im too famous for interviews"?
She just doesn't feel like doing them, and there's nothing wrong with that
The country and many of you on the site need to worry about your own lives rather than the fact Beyoncé said no to a vogue interview I worry about you people sometimes.
