Fans and viewers had a collective meltdown after pop star Beyoncé was a no-show at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) following multiple news reports that the Grammy-winner would perform on Thursday night. “Fucking liars,” one fan reacted, accusing the convention and or news outlets of lying “to get people to watch.”
“Beyoncé Performing at DNC’s Final Night!!!” read a headline from TMZ, which reported that multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that the “Beautiful Liar” singer would be “big surprise performer” as Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepts the Democrat Party nomination.
Other news outlets followed suit, reporting of Beyoncé’s imminent DNC performance, with Huff Post telling viewers to look out for the “Bey Watch.”
”Hearing that @Beyonce has arrived at the United Center!” MSNBC’s Katie Phang exclaimed hours before the giant letdown.
They didn’t miss much, she’s a hyped up pig anyway!!
