Beyonce, Beat Magazine: Jay Z Wife Does First Print Interview Since 2013

Beat magazine landed the biggest celebrity cover story ever with pop star Beyonce Knowles! The queen of pop broke her silence in her first print interview since 2013 when she granted the young publication a play, and this may be their most influential pop culture interview to date!

Vogue and Cosmopolitan's egos might be a little bruised since in the past they have been able to secure and monopolize A-list interviews around the globe. Publicity veteran, Yvette Noel-Schure, and Bey have managed to control almost every story and image of the super star and is doing an exceptional job. They have pulled the rug up from under the majors and provided an opportunity to a lesser-known magazine. Fans have long accepted whatever they are being fed by her majesty and will probably pre-purchase every issue available.

Reporter Michael Cragg asked questions that were basic, impersonal and straight to the point. CBS News reports Cragg did not have a face-to-face interview with the star. He told Refinary29 he believed the email was from Bey. He says, "She's so in control of everything she does and what goes out that it just wouldn't happen. Plus, there were emojis in the email, and emojis are incredibly personal."

The interviewer asked, Netflix or chill? She wrote, Netflix AND chill. Who would she be for Halloween? That's simple, she took a hint from her old group Destiny's Child and wrote, "Bootylicious with the gold tooth and pink tips in my hair." The best by far was when he asked if she knew what fear tastes like? She says she knew and wrote, "I have accomplished nothing without a little taste of fear in my mouth," says Entertainment Weekly.

A photo shoot by Ryan McGinley was shot in a country setting in the Hampton's and was the perfect back drop to shoot one the most photographed women in the world. McGinley managed to capture Bey in a one piece swimsuit holding a chicken, while and wrapped in a worn American flag looking quite patriotic. Another released photo was of her wearing the same one piece with the word, beat written across her chest. Is it because she was beat- meaning dead tired of the simplistic interview and photo shoot for Beat? Or does it mean beat as in the magazine?

The winter issue is slated for sale on Oct. 21.

 I sneezed on the BEAT and the BEAT got sicker
