Beyonce Recounts 'Monumental' Year In Sentimental 37th Birthday Message

"This year has been monumental for me," she wrote.
Beyonce Recounts ‘Monumental’ Year In Sentimental Birthday Message Days After Turning 37
By Paula Rogo · Updated October 23, 2020
Beyonce released a thank you letter to fans days after celebrating her 37th birthday this week. The “Lemonade” singer thanked the “hive” in a touching birthday message on her website that also listed why her 36th year was a “monumental” one for her. Blue Ivy’s mom also shared photos from her personal stash of her birthday party and highlights of the past year. “I became a mother of 3. I breastfed twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of ten years. I came back home to stage to do Coachella, after pregnancy. Then my husband and I released our album together, ‘Everything Is Love.’ And we’ve been touring with our family around the world, and loving it,” she wrote.

At 36, I became a new mother of 3. I breastfed twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of ten years. I came back home to the stage to do Coachella, after pregnancy. Then my husband and I released our album together, Everything Is Love. And we’ve been touring with our family around the world, and loving it. This year has been monumental for me. I thank God for everyone in my life. Thank you for all the positivity and for the beautiful birthday wishes. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn from my past, living in the present, and surrendering to the future. I love you, Hive. B

Queen Bey then went on to thank the people in her life “for all the positivity and the beautiful birthday wishes.” One of the sweetest birthday wishes came from her mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, who called Beyonce “the nicest owner of the most beautiful, generous, loving hearts ever” in an early birthday message.

The duo are in the middle of the North American leg of their “On The Run II” tour. Beyonce finished her own message with her vision for the next chapter:  “I’m looking forward to continuing to learn from my past, living in the present, and surrendering to the future.” Amen to that, Bey!
