There's a lot going on in the world of The Carter Family all the time, but especially lately. Between a surprise album, relationship drama, raising three kids, and touring the world, fans are wondering when they can expect the power couple's next outing. So, will Beyoncé and JAY-Z attend the BET Awards?
The BET Awards will air on Sunday, June 24, and neither of the power couple appear on the list of performers announced by BET. (Instead, keep an eye out for Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Janelle Monáe, Daniel Caesar, Big Sean, and more.) But it wouldn't be a music awards show if they didn't score some nominations. Beyoncé and JAY-Z are jointly nominated for Best Collaboration for "Top Off," a collaboration with DJ Khaled (also a collaboration with Future). JAY-Z is also nominated for Best Male Hip-Hop Vocal Performance and Album of the Year for "4:44." Beyoncé is also up for Best Female R&B/Pop Vocal Performance.
It is worth noting that, according to Entertainment Weekly , Beyoncé received 28 nominations out of 60, becoming the most awarded and nominated artist at the BET Awards. JAY-Z is also a regular nominee, covering up the Grammys for the couple's new album Everything Is Love after taking home zero of the eight awards he was nominated for in 2018. rain. ("Tell Grammy's f*ck, 0 for 8 shit.")
In true Carter fashion, the couple announced the release of a surprise joint album , Everything Is Love, on Saturday, and fans are still wondering how they managed to pull it off. It's hard to keep any album secret, but the two took over one of the world's most popular tourist attractions, the Louvre, to film a music video for one of their songs, "Apesh*t." The Louvre, the iconic home of the Mona Lisa, attracted 8.1 million visitors last year, according to the museum's website, allowing the Carters to be photographed front and center among its most famous paintings and sculptures. Of course, they're Beyoncé and JAY-Z, so this shouldn't come as a surprise at all.
The release of the new album comes during performances on their joint world tour On the Run II . The show in London marked the final show of the UK leg of the tour.
In case you forgot, the couple recently welcomed twins named Rumi and Sir. In an even bigger surprise, fans at the Wales concert were convinced they were debuting new photos of the twins during the show. But Beyoncé's publicist later denied the hypothesis, telling Buzzfeed in a statement that the baby in the image does not belong to the Carters.
The UK leg of the tour may be over, but Beyoncé and JAY-Z still have much of Europe to conquer. While they didn't perform on the night of the BET Awards, they were scheduled to perform in Copenhagen, Denmark, on June 23; and two days later, on June 25, the couple had a show in Stockholm, Switzerland. The flight time between the two cities is just over an hour, so Beyoncé and JAY-Z will have traveled quite a distance if they make a quick stop in Los Angeles for the BET Awards on their day off.
But what's the inconvenience for Beyoncé and JAY-Z? This had not hindered them before. If they can film a secret video at the Louvre, an appearance at the BET Awards cannot be ruled out. Will the Carters appear on the red carpet with red eyes and radiant looks like them? The choice is theirs to make.
