Hi Bootylicious Divas! This week we welcome the one, the only, the star of the Pitch Perfect franchise, Shelley Regner! And we're discussing the Queen Bey herself: Beyonce! Shelley and I met doing a musical yeeeeeears ago, and decided we were stuck with each other. And now here we are, talking about THE diva of divas. Truly, where to begin? She is a goddess. She's a queen. She's a mononym. Constantly reinventing herself as any diva should, we get into what it would be like to meet her multiple times in this ep. And question, is there anything to fault her on? I have something, but don't fact check me, listeners! We dissect her Super Bowl performances, Coachella, the genre defying and defining Lemonade.  And only after we stopped recording did I realize we didn't even get into Ivy Park! Come worship with us!
