Knowles said that she is glad that she no longer has to assist with the quick changes and backstage hustle and bustle now that the tour is over. She also revealed that Beyoncé gets “really mean” backstage, and that she has told her so.
“We laughed about this recently because I was saying, ‘Girl, you get really mean back there,'” Knowles told Shepherd, laughing. “And I am really happy that I don’t have to be back there anymore. We’d laugh because she used to perform ‘Flaws and All.’ She would sing, ‘I’m a bi**ch in the morning,’ and I’ll be like, ‘And the evening too!'”
Knowles also said that Beyoncé is often apologetic for her behavior, explaining that it is due to the immense pressure of putting on a show. She said, “She’ll be like, ‘Mama, I’m so sorry,’ and I’m like, ‘I know.'”
Knowles went on to say that she understands Beyoncé’s behavior and that she is proud of her daughter for her success. She said, “But that’s the heat of the moment, because you’re trying to get your shoes on, and everybody’s waiting, and if somebody’s messing up or they lose the shoes, then you messed up the whole show. So, I understand it.”
Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour was a huge success, becoming the highest-grossing tour by a black artist and achieving the two highest monthly tour grosses in history. Knowles’ comments offer a glimpse into the hard work and dedication that goes into putting on a world-class tour.
