Fans Spot Beyoncé Renaissance Tour Easter Egg
The Renaissance World Tour may have given fans a super subtle but potentially major clue about something happening during one of the shows. A cybertronic interlude that plays during one of Bey’s costume changes in the show, the so-called “Motherboard” video, flashes strobe-y images of Beyoncé as the queen of cyberspace.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the numbers repeating most often in the clip were the exact latitude and longitude of Paris, France. The clip also seemed to show a countdown to 6 a.m. — 6 a.m. Paris time would equate to midnight ET. The theory? That Beyoncé is planning to drop her Renaissance visuals at midnight on May 26, during her concert in Paris.
There are a lot more reasons to believe this theory than just the flashing numbers, mostly due to how deeply the album is connected to Paris. “Renaissance” itself is a French word, and a historical period that revolved around cultural milestones in Paris. The city is also name-checked in the 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning, which is considered seminal in capturing the underground ballroom culture that heavily inspired the sound of the Renaissance album.
A French journalist, Louis Pisano, also keeps teasing that something special will be happening during the show on his Twitter.
Let's wait and see what the surprise is!
