I live in France, where she most definitvely is VERY relevant to this day. But relevance doesn't stop at a border. Just because she had lesser success in your country doesn't mean globally she faded into oblivion. As for the Parisian and London dates not being sold out, I don't know the official numbers, but I attended both dates in London and both in Paris. Maybe there were a few seats empty here and there, but the stadiums were packed. (And Paris was definitively sold out as a friend wanted to come last minute but didn't manage to find a ticket)

There's TONS of artists who started in the 90s or before who can't sold out arenas, let alone stadiums (if they're still active to begin with). She's definitvely one of the lucky ones. Luck here being mostly talent and hard work. Just because they had a long career doesn't mean people are willing to pay hundread of dollars/euros/pounds/whatever. Nostalgia sells of course, but it doesn't fill out stadiums with horribly overpriced tickets alone. 

And funny enough, while I did really enjoy the FWT, the Renaissance and (to a slightly lesser extend) the Cowboy Carter tour were vastly superior. Someone relying only on nostalgia wouldn't be able to pull out tours on that scale. And almost back to back at that. 

And to your point also: aren't huge streaming numbers, able to put songs on the radio according to you, a great indicator of relevance as well? We're talking about recent songs here, not Survivor or Crazy in Love. If she was a throwback act for nostalgia, people would stream only DC and that's it. (And again, I know she's not doing the same numbers are Gaga and stuff, but still)

Good for her.

Streaming numbers get you easily on the radio yes, as people play it again and again, while a week later it could drop down badly. 

I did not say she vanished, she just had no relevant hit the last decade in my country and more, in other words, her relevance got less. if rumors are true I think she might be interesting again, hopefully for her the name of Jay Z in the files does not grow or have a negative impact for her but well

Man, first she gets called too extra for doing runs on every note of a song then she’s called monotonous the next. So much projection on someone just bc they’re not on selfie camera ig lives lmao

also what does any of this have to do with her having a new haircut

Is not only about the haircut, take a look at her instagram, is all hyper curated

And I love her btw, Renaissance is the best album this decade so far, imo 

i feel people need to remove their hate goggles for five seconds and start thinking more critically about things tbh. People underplay the role sexism and racism play in shaping these womens' lives. If Morgan Wallen (male + white + straight) singer says something racist, he somehow gets more fans and more money the next day. If Taylor Swift uses the wrong brand of lipstick, she gets cancelled. Women have constant pressure to be perfect constantly by the media and are frequently analysed, people constantly speculate on their weight, pregnancy status (like wtf?), who they are dating, if they had plastic surgery done or not. If that happened to any of you, you would all also hyper curate your lives.

Like seriously, who do you want to participate in a culture where men like Diddy and Epstein are allowed to do their stuff for years but women get dragged through the mud for curating a social media feed? The double standard is ridiculous.
