No, but Beyonce at the Superbowl is.
Remember, she has a whole team working to meme-ify aspects of her music like "I woke up like dis", "surfboard", and "Becky with the good hair". She's working multiple platforms, luv.
Beyonce on HBO is a branding tactic. It's not supposed to be taken by the youth of today, it's supposed to frame her work as valuable and premium.
But her musicianship is like non-existent. 
Everyone is forgotten eventually, you might as well USE your platform to milk the public like Beyst does. Nobody is going to give a **** about Rihanna's little singles and half filled stadiums in 20 years, but at least she'll be holed up in some island mansion. Streaming artists with pitiful sales like Ariana or whoever tf you guys consider "relevant" to the current GP will be far worse off.
