Beyoncé

Beyoncé has released a brand new track called 'Formation' out of the blue.

The song is her first new music since 2014's Beyoncé : Platinum Edition, the singer releasing the song as a free download alongside a music video.

In the video, we see the singer on top of a submerged police car in New Orleans, flaunting a variety of vintage-looking outfits. Additionally, her daughter Blue Ivy Carter makes an appearance.

Beyoncé recently changed her team for the next phase of her career.

First Lady Michelle Obama, whose initiative Let Girls Learn works to get education for 62 million girls across the world, honored the day by crafting a Spotify playlist. 

The iconic singer, who once sampled a French dub of Maude Lebowski's (Julianne Moore) monologue about feminism in her song "Partition,"has reportedly purchased the mansion seen in the film. 

The New York Times has pointed out that the Grammy winner's latest magazine spread, for Vogue's coveted September issue, is without any word from the singer herself.

Considering the fact that the fashion bible generally offers up lengthy, juicy sit-downs with their cover stars, it's a bit of a mystery as to why the reigning queen of pop chose to remain silent.

And yet, here we are scratching our heads over something that she very clearly orchestrated from the get-go.
