Girl. Who gives a ****?
She performed in North (or was it South?) Carolina. So they can fume on THAT.

Wait. I just read the article. Are they serious? How is this "news". Basically a billionaire has holdings in an entertainment group that includes various properties including Goldenvoice the management group that puts on Coachella and also owns some of the LA Lakers and Clippers. And the "news" is this billionaire donates to anti-LGBT groups.
What kind of degrees of separation?  Not to mention, it's just complicated economics. You can't boycott everything that bigots are associated with... else we would boycott paying taxes to the Amerikkkan government.

The story isn't even true. Let them give up their tickets. You know the gays flocked to buy. They're going. And you bets believe the would flip their **** if half the headliners decided not to perform. They'll get over it.

But I see what they're doing.
They want Beyonce, Kendrick, Radiohead, and others to use their star power to draw criticism towards the suits regular people can't touch (billionaire investors who aren't in the public). And create a media sh*tstorm around the companies and their owners bigoted practices. Which makes sense. And I hope that they do in some way.
But even if they don't. The shows will still be lit and they will deal. 
Then there are those who don't think that strategically and legitimately just make sport of attempting to drag Beyonce. Those ones can come catch this fade.... but really, no one cares about them.

Erm, it's just so funny how people are singling out Beyoncé. Coachella has been around a while and this has never been an issue when other artists have been performing there.
It's honestly funny. They're just so pressed. They would be shouting 'yaaas queen' if it was their fave headlining - in their dreams.

Whew, the harmonies they would deliver during "God Hates ****" featuring the Westboro Baptist Church choir.

How much time do headliners usually spend on the stage per show?

The first 25 seconds of "God Made You Beautiful" are literally heaven.
I need her to serve more harmonies like that one on the next album.

I hope 2017 has stand alone singles that she will let flourish (7/11, Flawless remix)

The chorus is the only "meh" part of that song. Otherwise it's SO gorgeous.
but imagine if she had served a standard release in 2013 with no visual album with songs like GMYB, SOTS, and Grown Woman.  I wonder how things would've gone.
