I'm truly honored to live in the Era of Beyonce. The music icon covers The September Issue of Harper's Bazaar.
Photographed by Campbell Addy, the music icon and Texas native appears in various western-inspired pieces, including a Stetson cowboy hat and fringed gloves in the main cover shot, as well as Ivy Park x Adidas chaps and an oversized Ivy Park belt buckle in others. (Beyoncé recently revealed that the brand's upcoming collection is titled Ivy Park Rodeo and is inspired by Black cowboys and cowgirls and their influence on the American Rodeo.)
She tells Harper's Bazaar:
"With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again," Beyoncé told Harper's Bazaar. "I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible."
"I’ve been in the studio for a year and a half," she continued. "Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies. Still, there’s nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. After 31 years, it feels just as exciting as it did when I was nine years old. Yes, the music is coming!"
As someone who's been in the industry for essentially her entire life, each stage of Beyoncé's career as a performer has seen her transform based on her mindset at the time, and at almost 40 years old, she definitely feels the best she's ever felt. With that in mind, B7 will likely embody that level of confidence as a performer, lending to songs that will have us feeling just as good.
