“[The career I respect most is] Beyoncé’s. Definitely. I just thought, the first thing I saw was her beauty and how beautiful she was and I listened to her music and I loved her music. She’s incredibly talented I think she’s what every female artist should strive to be like. Despite all her success, she still remains humble.” - Rihanna
“Just her name alone defines greatness. Just her. Her. That push–every woman wants to be that driven. When I met her, she was a super sweetheart and the fact that she complimented me, I never forgot that. That stuck with me.” - Nicki Minaj
“You know, [Beyoncé] is such a beautiful person, and I gotta tell you, I just adore her. I had kind of lost faith a little bit in meeting artists in the business — and then I met Beyoncé. She is a real, real woman.” - Lady Gaga
“I spoke to her before just to let her know how honored and privileged I felt to be nominated alongside her, and we spoke afterward as well and she was very gracious and humble, as always, as we’ve come to expect. And the reason I felt the need to say something is because my album of the year is Lemonade. She is my icon of my whole life.” - Adele
“It’s like, normal for everyone to love Beyoncé, but I love her more than that amount, like more than the normal amount. I try really hard not to let it get creepy. I just really like, channel it into a joyous admiration and appreciation. She’s awesome.” - Taylor Swift
“It kind of embarrasses me [to be called a pop queen] because I don’t feel that way. I have pinch-me moments, sure, but Beyoncé is the biggest pop star in the world so don’t be blasphemous […] I work really hard; I work myself into this state. But Beyoncé’s an icon and bionic, almost.” - Katy Perry
“Hey Queen! Girl, you have done it again - constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I’m surprised, but I know who you are. I’ve seen it up close and personal. Girl, you make me so proud, and I love you.” - Michelle Obama
“Undeniable talent. Hardworking and yet a rare authenticity. Calm that defies the level of stardom. She knows who she is. There is no apology and no compromise. Beyoncé the performer, the mother, the wife, the daughter, the sister and a beautiful image of womanhood.” - Viola Davis
