Bow down, BeyHive: the governor of Minnesota may very well be Beyoncé’s biggest fans. First, he named May 23 “Beyoncé Day” back in 2016 in honor of Ms. Carter’s Formation show that year. And now, he’s declared that Aug. 8 is “Beyoncé and Jay-Z Day” officially in his state. Governor Mark Dayton shared the update in an official proclamation, honoring the On the Run II Tour concert that Beyoncé and Jay-Z were set to perform on Wednesday evening at Minneapolis’s U.S. Bank Stadium. “Through their lives and music, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have inspired Minnesotans and music fans around the world,”…
They’ve performed here before, but never like this. Never together. Never sharing the stage with someone else as famous as they are (or almost, anyway). And aside from her “Lemonade” tour stop in 2016, never with as much personal baggage on display for 40,000 fans to examine. Fortunately, Wednesday night’s mega-big, plan-the-summer-around-it concert at U.S. Bank Stadium was not the same kind of show we’ve already seen Beyoncé and Jay-Z deliver separately in the Twin Cities. She lost some of the precision, cohesion and all-out wow factor of her 2016 tour, but she seemed looser and more playful. He ditched…

Alicia Keys dropped a hair bombshell on her social media followers on Thursday when she posted a stunning new photo featuring a totally different side of the artist. (Perhaps the summer heat got to her?) No caption, no context, just leaving us to drool over her enviable new ‘do: a very short, Ariel-the-mermaid-red bob. At first glance, the bob will have you doing a double take, because Keys is almost unrecognizable with a cut this short. Don’t get us wrong, the 37-year-old musician has rocked a lot of looks during her career, but she’s usually known for long braids or…

He said that corruption had been so entrenched in the country that if you dare challenge it, you will be in the minority. He, however, challenged the youths to change the narrative and make the difference…
