The Diva - and former teen sweetheart of Destiny's Child - has turned 33 today!
Surprises in the form of greetings and good-laugh memes have graced Beyonce all over the internet, and on top of those, the singer's track, "Flawless," also made it to Billboard's Hot 100. The news came just in time for the occasion!
The song making it to Hot 100 is sure another surprise. Beyonce's musical career strengthens over time--with the singer dropping bomb-performances that of this year's VMA.
Beyonce also released a self-titled album which came out of nowhere. In a citation from USA Today, XO-producer Ryan Tedder confided, "I knew 90 minutes before it dropped. Ninety minutes. And I said nothing because I love Beyonce and I don't want her to hate me."
Although the song "Flawless" was released around nine months ago, its surprising reveal somehow paved the way for listeners to let it grow on them. Entertainment Weekly said of the track:
"The word 'flawless' condenses everything that Beyoncé and her featured guest, award-winning Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, talks about in the song down into two syllables that somehow contain an entire philosophy of self-love and self-actualization. No wonder it's been inescapable all year."
This is news indeed - a song nearly a year-old climbs its way up to the charts, and it happens right before the singer's birthday--in time for the celebration.
"For anyone else in the world, 33 would normally be a pretty uneventful birthday - but because we're talking about Beyoncé, it's automatically extraordinary," said Time.
Tweets spread like wildfire, and people seem to be much more excited than the singer herself.
So how is Beyonce celebrating her 33rd birthday?
Beyonce has kept up with tradition by getting out of the country to spend time with family, E! Online reported. Together with hubby Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy, the three were spotted arriving at Bastia-Poretta airport in Corsica via private jet.
The source detailed that the family will likely take a peaceful vacation in southern France and in luxury. E! Online said, citing one of its sources, that Jay Z has tipped their private jet hostess €500. As the hostess returned to give Jay Z his change, the rapper-producer reportedly gave out a laugh and refused to take the money back, the source spilled.
A luxury yacht worth $800,000 per week in rental will also be enjoyed by the family, added the source.
