10 Things of Note in Beyoncé's Mrs. Carter World Tour Trailer
LatestIn this first official footage from the tour, Queen Bey appears by rising from below the stage in a flurry of pyrotechnics and strobe lights. Seeing as how she is very touchy about images, her highness must have allowed a videographer to film and then approved this footage. Here are ten things to note about the clip:
1. Her facial expressions seem rather calm, as though she is purposely avoiding making this face
2. Expert use of fan and hairography
3. One number involves burlesque-dancer style feather fans (:30 seconds in)
4. A guitar burns and sparks from both ends (:31)
5. The nipples are missing from the infamous nipple costume (digitally removed? :33)
6. Riding on what appears to be a giant musical note, Beyoncé flies up and above the audience (:39)
7. In addition to starting the clip with “Who Run the World (Girls),” the ladypower theme continues with a snippet of two female audience members squee-ing and hugging (:50)
8. When the Queen is feeling overwhelmed she merely lies down upon a grand piano (1:12)
9. At some point in the show Beyoncé walks into the audience along a catwalk, close enough to reach out and touch adoring fans with those healing hands — and she also sits upon a stool and sings while those around her stand in awe (1:17)
10. MIC DROP (1:27) (or, at least, mic stand drop?)
