Queen Bey has released the last trailer for her movie, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, on Thanksgiving Day (November 23). The video opens with a special message to her daughter Rumi – “Oh Rumi, can I teach you a trick? You gotta turn it to the side” – before cutting to a montage of behind the scenes footage and a performance of ‘Cuff It’ from the ‘Renaissance’ album.
The trailer delves into the importance of her children, with Beyoncé narrating “Time is my biggest obstacle. It’s impossible to not realise how fast it’s going when you are looking through the eyes of your children. I know that all of my struggle and sacrifice is opening the door for the next. They are the new beginning.”
The movie, written, co-directed and executively produced by Beyoncé, will be released worldwide on December 1. It follows the journey of the Renaissance World Tour, from conception to opening night in Stockholm, Sweden, to the finale in Kansas City, Missouri.
Prior to the global release, the film will have a premiere in Los Angeles on November 25, and then in London on November 30. The tour was a huge success, becoming the highest-grossing tour by a female artist in history, earning $579 million in sales and ranking seventh highest-grossing tour of all time.
Beyoncé recently attended the premiere of Taylor Swift’s concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, the two stars walking down the red carpet together. Swift took to Instagram afterwards to comment on Beyoncé’s influence, saying “She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.”
During the Paris date of the Renaissance Tour, Blue Ivy, Beyoncé’s oldest daughter, joined her mother on stage, performing a dance routine to ‘My Power’. After the show, Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles expressed that Bey was hesitant to bring her out, but eventually changed her mind, saying “She was watching the girls rehearse and [Blue Ivy] said, ‘I think I’m ready to go on stage.’ And her mom said, ‘No, no, I don’t think so, Blue.’ And then she thought about it and she said, ‘If you work hard and you really come with it, then we’ll let you go one time.’”
