in World News Viewers Rage After False Reports of Beyoncé Performance — ‘F*cking Liars Lied to Get People to Watch’
by Alana Mastrangelo
Fans and viewers had a collective meltdown after pop star Beyoncé was a no-show at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) following multiple news reports that the Grammy-winner would perform on Thursday night. “Fucking liars,” one fan reacted, accusing the convention and or news outlets of lying “to get people to watch.”
“Beyoncé Performing at DNC’s Final Night!!!” read a headline from TMZ, which reported that multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that the “Beautiful Liar” singer would be “big surprise performer” as Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepts the Democrat Party nomination.
Other news outlets followed suit, reporting of Beyoncé’s imminent DNC performance, with Huff Post telling viewers to look out for the “Bey Watch.”
”Hearing that @Beyonce has arrived at the United Center!” MSNBC’s Katie Phang exclaimed hours before the giant letdown.
DNC viewers and attendees, however, were dismayed upon discovering the “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” songstress would be a no show, despite conflicting reports.
“Hearing lots of ‘But where is Beyoncé ?!’ leaving the DNC,” conservative blogger and author Katie Pavlich disclosed.
“There’s another crowd protesting and chanting ‘where is Beyonce,’” another X user revealed.
“After watching the #DNC2024 #DNCConvention Thursday, and hearing Kamala Harris speak, my thoughts are… Where was Beyoncé?” another lamented. “Democrats said Beyoncé and/or Taylor Swift would be at the #DNC, disappointing conclusion after being teased with promises of quality entertainment. #Fail.”
“Not @Beyonce leaking that lie that she would be at the convention to make sure yall tuned in to one of the most important nights of the #DNC2024! Ha! Touché Queen… touché,” another surmised.
“Boy, that was fast. They went from joy to the world to lying about Beyoncé. But then again, lying is what they do,” another said.
