CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF BEYONCÉ GISELLE KNOWLES-CARTER (born on september 4th of 1981) 👑🐝♍

“I’m in a place of gratitude right now. I am accepting of who I am. I will continue to explore every inch of my soul and every part of my artistry. I want to learn more, teach more, and live in full. I’ve worked long and hard to be able to get to a place where I can choose to surround myself with what fulfills and inspires me.“

[beyonce-knowles-carter]

“My wish is for my 40s to be fun and full of freedom. I want to feel the same freedom I feel on stage every day of my life. I want to explore aspects of myself I haven’t had time to discover and to enjoy my husband and my children. I want to travel without working. I want this next decade to be about celebration, joy, and giving and receiving love. I want to give all the love I have to the people who love me back.

“I’ve done so much in 40 years that I just want to enjoy my life. It’s hard going against the grain, but being a small part of some of the overdue shifts happening in the world feels very rewarding. I want to continue to work to dismantle systemic imbalances. I want to continue to turn these industries upside down. I plan to create businesses outside of music. I have learned that I have to keep on dreaming. One of my favorite quotes is from the inventor Charles Kettering. It goes “Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future.”

“I want to show that you can have fun and have purpose, be respectful and speak your mind. You can be both elegant and a provocateur. You can be curvy and still be a fashion icon. I wish this freedom for every person. I have paid my dues and followed every rule for decades, so now I can break the rules that need to be broken. My wish for the future is to continue to do everything everyone thinks I can’t do.”

HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY BEYONCÉ GISELLE KNOWLES-CARTER! (September 4, 1981)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEYONCÉ 🐝🍯🐝🐝🍯🐝🐝🍯🐝🐝🍯🐝

“There are many shades on every journey. Nothing is black or white. I’ve been through hell and back, and I’m grateful for every scar. I have experienced betrayals and heartbreaks in many forms. I have had disappointments in business partnerships as well as personal ones, and they all left me feeling neglected, lost, and vulnerable. Through it all I have learned to laugh and cry and grow. I look at the woman I was in my 20s and I see a young lady growing into confidence but intent on pleasing everyone around her. I now feel so much more beautiful, so much sexier, so much more interesting. And so much more powerful”.

bitch know b, she don’t even need a whole name!

insp. It was important to me that anyone that had never seen themselves represented felt like they were on that stage with us.

“Happy birthday Beyonce! it’s Taylor. […] The fact that you have paved the road that every female artist is walking down now. Then the fact that you’ve done so with such kindness and such grace, I just… ahh, to say I admire you, like - there’s just not a word for it.”

– Taylor pays tribute to Beyonce on her 40th birthday (Harper’s Bazaar, September 4th 2021)
