Beyoncé has revealed her highly anticipated announcement won’t be going ahead on Tuesday, Jan. 14 as previously scheduled.

In a statement shared on Instagram, the singer, 43, explained she had decided to delay the news in light of the ongoing blaze in Los Angeles.

“The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles,” the star said.

“I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss,” she continued. “We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community."

She concluded the statement by urging fans to “join our efforts in supporting those impacted” by visiting her public charity foundation BeyGood’s website.

The decision to postpone the announcement came just hours after she donated $2.5 million on behalf of the BeyGood Foundation to L.A. relief funds.

In an Instagram post on the foundation’s feed, Beyoncé said the large sum was “earmarked to aid families in the Altadena/Pasadena area who lost their homes, and to churches and community centers” due to the wildfires.

The list of nominees for the 56th NAACP Image Awards, which will broadcast live Feb. 22 from Pasadena Civic Center in Pasadena, California, were revealed Tuesday.

Beyoncé garnered three nods for her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter." She is up for outstanding album, outstanding female artist and outstanding soul/R&B song for her single "16 Carriages."

The two-hour live broadcast of the NAACP Awards will air on BET and CBS.

A Christmas performance seen by tens of millions that was dubbed the #BeyoncéBowl also happened to feature a Natural State native.

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter halftime show during Netflix’s streamed NFL Christmas game gained over 24 million U.S. viewers. Also on the field being featured in the show was Fort Smith’s Ja’Dayia Kursh, the state’s first Black Rodeo Queen.

“I’m like ‘So she really knows me? They’re like ‘Yeah she really wanted you here,’” Kursh described.

Kursh was seen on TV in a low rider waving at the crowd, dressed in all white.

“They were styling me in Balmain,” Kursh said. “I got to keep my sash. It says, “first black rodeo queen.”

The 25-year-old said she remembers the moment her dream came true.

“Maybe two weeks ago I got a text from the NFL and they said we want to work with you,” Kursh said.

Kursh said she was able to meet the global superstar, Beyoncé during rehearsals.

BEYONCÉ BOWL — now playing on Netflix.

Beyoncé performed during the halftime show for the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium on December 25, 2024 in Houston, Texas.

UPDATE: Beyonce shared more photos from the show.

Beyoncé performed a show-stopping halftime performance during Netflix's first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday as the Houston Texans hosted the Baltimore Ravens at NRG Stadium live on Netflix.

This special performance took place in Beyoncé’s hometown of Houston, Texas, produced by her company, Parkwood Entertainment and Jesse Collins Entertainment.

The expansive performance of music, fashion and history featured a slew of guest performers in a roof-raising twelve-plus minutes showcasing the first live performance of songs from her genre-bending and record-breaking COWBOY CARTER album. The 11-time Grammy-nominated, juggernaut album recently became the most nominated album by a female artist.

The set included, among others, “16 CARRIAGES,” “BLACKBIIRD,” “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” “YA YA,” “SPAGHETTII/RIIVERDANCE,” “LEVII’S JEANS,” “JOLENE,” and the ubiquitous smash, “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” that ended the set with Beyoncé literally lifting to the rafters.

Beyoncé is teasing something for the new year – check out her cryptic post below.

Fresh off the heels of her 2024 NFL Christmas-day Halftime Show, Bey took to social media to share a short video teaser. In the teaser, captioned “look at that horse”, she sits atop a white stag in her cowboy outfit as she waves around the American flag.

The teaser ends with the date January 14, 2025 flashing onscreen. You can see the teaser below.

Beyoncé will light up the Houston night on Christmas with a halftime performance during the Ravens-Texans game on Netflix. To watch it, you’ll have to tune in live on Dec. 25 — otherwise, you’ll have only a few hours to catch the replay on Netflix.

Queen Bey’s Xmas performance will feature her first live performances of songs from “Cowboy Carter.” She’ll take the stage in her hometown during halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans matchup at NRG Stadium in Houston.

Netflix, as part of its accelerating push into live sports, snagged global rights to the NFL’s two Christmas Day 2024 games: the Kansas City Chiefs at the Pittsburgh Steelers (starting at 1 p.m. ET), followed by the Ravens-Texans game (4:30 p.m. ET).

Under Netflix’s agreement with the NFL, in the U.S., the two Christmas games expire three hours after the livestream ends (meaning Beyoncé’s performance and the Ravens-Texans game will no longer be available to rewatch on Netflix as of around 11 p.m. ET). Outside the U.S., the games expire on Netflix 24 hours after the livestream ends. The NFL livestreams will include ad breaks, even for Netflix subscribers on no-ads plans.

Beyonce's latest film role in "Mufasa: The Lion King" was made even more special as the movie sees her star alongside her daughter, Blue Ivy.

The "Single Ladies" singer reprises her role as Queen Nala from the 2019 movie "The Lion King", while Blue plays the role of Princess Kiara, the eldest daughter of Nala and Simba.

While Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z "weren't involved" with Blue landing the role, the singer did have one condition about working with her daughter.

Speaking to HELLO! at the London premiere of the Disney flick earlier this month, the film's director, Barry Jenkins revealed that Beyonce made sure she was always on set with her daughter.

"What I loved was, they don't have a lot of work together, but they would always be working on the same day," Barry told us.

"It was really lovely to watch Beyonce just be a mother and be there to support Blue Ivy. It was really wonderful," he added.

Beyoncé now has more Recording Industry Association of America certified titles than any other female artist, the organization announced Tuesday (Dec. 17).

With the superstar earning dozens of new badges Tuesday — including a 2x-Platinum certification for Billboard Hot 100-topper “Texas Hold ‘Em” and Platinum honors for Billboard 200 No. 1 album Cowboy Carter — Bey now has a record total of 103 titles. Other new certifications include 2024’s “16 Carriages” going Gold, 2022’s Renaissance going 2x Platinum, and 2013’s Jay-Z duet “Drunk in Love” and 2003’s smash hit “Crazy in Love” both going 8x Platinum.

“We are so excited to recognize the incredible talent, hard work and creative spirit reflected across diverse genres,” said RIAA President and COO Michele Ballantyne in a statement. “Congratulations on this crowning milestone, Beyoncé, Parkwood Entertainment, Columbia Records — and we see you, BeyHive, streaming on repeat!”

The BeyGOOD Foundation, founded by music icon and Houston native Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, has donated $100,000 to the University of Houston Law Center (UHLC) to support its Criminal Justice Clinic.

The gift will help establish a full-time criminal justice clinic at UHLC, which will provide pro bono legal services to underserved communities while enhancing criminal law and justice programming. The clinic is one of nine in-house clinics at the Law Center and will now have a dedicated faculty and director, expanding opportunities for student involvement and community outreach.

"I am delighted that the BeyGOOD Foundation has made this very generous gift to the UH Law Center," said Leonard Baynes, dean of UHLC. "Not only will this funding help establish a full-time criminal justice clinic that provides pro bono legal services in our community, but it will also supercharge our already excellent criminal law and justice programming."

Eloise Brice, vice president for advancement and alumni at UH, echoed Baynes’ gratitude. "We are so appreciative of the BeyGOOD Foundation for this impactful gift. Our students will be able to benefit from practical, real-world experience and impart their expertise to members of our community who are in need of their services."

Beyonce took to her website to pay tribute to the late Nikki Giovanni.

Beyoncé can now add another title to her list of accolades, as the megastar has just been named the greatest pop star of the 21st century by Billboard.

The magazine, which has been gradually unveiling its rankings over the last several months, announced Tuesday that Queen Bey secured the No. 1 spot on its list of 25 greatest pop stars.

"Since late August, we've been rolling out our picks for the artists who have most defined pop stardom for the last 25 years," Billboard said. While noting the leading pick, the music and entertainment magazine said, "The reasons why Beyoncé captured the top spot on our list were beyond numerous — ranging from her 25 years of timeless albums and singles, to her incalculable industry impact and influence on other artists, to her peerless raw talents as a singer and performer.

"But perhaps the most important of all was her singular ability to create moments: indelible pieces of pop culture history that she has generated over the course of her quarter century of superstardom, which are first and foremost all quintessentially Beyoncé."

She was previously named Billboard's greatest pop star of the year in 2003 and 2014.

Beyoncé beat out other major stars such as Taylor Swift, who was named second greatest, Rihanna (No. 3), Drake (No. 4), Lady Gaga (No. 5) and Britney Spears (No. 6). The superstar's husband Jay-Z was ranked No. 16 on the list.
