The Renaissance singer had a conversation with GQ Magazine for their October issue. She discussed her music and her latest project, a whiskey line.

She also mentioned the challenges of keeping her life private in a world where information is readily available and frequently unreliable.

“We live in a world of access,” Beyonce stated.

She pointed out how things have changed from the time she needed call cards to communicate with her husband to now, when video calls allow quick connections with loved ones.

“We have access to so much information—some facts and some complete bullshit disguised as truth. Our children can FaceTime and see their friends at any given moment. My husband and I? We used calling cards and Skype when we were falling in love. I couldn’t afford the international hotel bills, so I literally would get international calling cards to call him,” she continued.

“Just recently, I heard an AI song that sounded so much like me it scared me. It’s impossible to truly know what’s real and what’s not,” she added.

Beyonce stressed the value of privacy and her promise to maintain a clear line between her private life and her public image.

She explained, “One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand. It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art. I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family.
