lol maybe, though I wouldn't call what you're referring to as "manipulative", just strategic and calculated.
All celebrities are to an extent. Madonna is the queen on this in the music industry. Taylor "Nothing comes before the brand" is also very strategic. People tend to get like this when there's a lot of money involved.
Unlike some people she doesn't tweet subliminal shade and doesn't do interviews shading her for doing gimmicky performance after gimmicky performance, instead she wishes her a happy birthday and calls her talented.
. what people don't get is that Beyoncé is grown since 2001. the girl is above yall on all the level possible (okay minus acting)
That example from the OP is pathetic because it is just a picture. However, she is a master manipulator just like Lady Gaga was back in the day.
That's actually the 2nd reason why I could never get into Beyonce, everything is extremely rehearsed & staged to get the perfect outcome on every situation.
I like people when they are more natural and unapologetically genuine
Taylor can afford sweet words since her last album has sold over 4m copies and She has nothing to prove. Beyonce was probably jealous Or tried to make it seem like Taylor was The one who insisted on that friendship. She probably didnt even Think Beyonce would really show up at The party.
Adele has stated how much she loves Bey so many times before. She was bopping to Love on Top when Knowles performed it at the VMAs. What are you trying to reach here?
The fact that this thread reached this many pages and is still open shows how biased the moderators are, how delusional celeb haters are (you all are literally pulling assumptions out of your assholes), and how pathetic most of you are for blaming a celebrity for their fans. By the way, blaming a whole fan base for literally a handful is just as childish.
WTF this thread is so ****ing stupid and so are the dumbasses agreeing, you'll need to put down the computers/phones or whatever the **** y'all use to access this stupid ass site and GET A ****ING LIFE stop arguring over **** you can't control im tired of the same petty ******** youll need to grow and stop bitching over petty ****, Beyonce is living her life doing what the **** she wants all y'all no life low life losers need to do the same.
The logic in this thread implies that anyone meeting, or collaborating, with anyone else is manipulative. Celebrities meet and greet often. They're in the same town so why not? Talented musicians enjoy working together. It's called experimenting and meshing styles. A lot of you seem to give Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, etc a free pass. But of course Beyonce is the only one who has you pressed. Is it racism? Whatever it is it's a double standard.
