Beyoncé's back - and her GQ interview is equal parts impressive and spooky

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Beyoncé fans, assume the position - the next month or two sees the Queen of Pop's return from motherhood to mega-primetime. In preparation, she's been speaking to GQ. And - drumroll - the takeaway here, at least according to Gawker, is... "Beyonce is Fucking Crazy and Exactly as You Imagine Her".
First things first. The singer is in the process of compiling a database of every single image, recording, show and interview she's ever been part of - to be stored in a temperature controlled digital-facility. All this footage, which includes recordings of almost every single moment of her private life since 2005, and which Beyoncé calls her "crazy archive", can be brought up - and sold - via the touch of a button. (Are you listening, Facebook?).
Second, and less surprisingly, the interview touches on Mrs Knowles-Carter's insane work ethic. For example; do you take home a tape of everyday at work, analyse it, then send notes to all your minions? No? Then no wonder you're not Beyoncé.
To get a full picture of just how the hottest singer on the planet has managed to "own" her image - read Amy Wallace's interview in full. You won't be disappointed.
Sample quote: "I now know that, yes, I am powerful, I'm more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand."
She might be more powerful than her own mind can digest, but not everything swings Beyoncé's way; she recently lost out on an attempt to trademark baby Blue Ivy's name. Her nemesis? Blue Ivy wedding planners. We await their imminent psychic destruction...
