Tragedy has struck one of the most successful female singers of all time. Beyonc\u00e9 Knowles, known for Ring The Alarm and 102 other RIAA certified titles<\/a>, had her work stolen in Atlanta. She was not present, nor was anyone reported harmed, but the stolen goods could be worth millions. CNN<\/a> has coverage:<\/p>\n

\n

Hard drives containing Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s unreleased music and several other items were stolen from a car that had been rented by her choreographer during a Cowboy Carter tour stop in Atlanta last week, according to police. Officers responded on July 8 after receiving a call regarding a theft from a vehicle, according to police.<\/p>\n

A preliminary investigation revealed that two suitcases belonging Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s choreographer Christopher Grant and one of her backup dancers Diandre Blue had been stolen out of a rented Jeep Wagoneer while it was parked on the first level of a parking deck at 99 Krog St. NE, the report said. Two laptops and hard drives that contained watermarked music, unreleased music, footage plans and past and future set lists, were among the items stolen, the report stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This better be a brilliant advertisement for the 4th season of Lupin! I know that the season 4 trailer<\/a> showcases the Eiffel Tower (which is a very long walk from Atlanta), but Lupin is nothing if not a master of misdirection. <\/p>\n

As much of a blow as this is to music, thinking about the legal consequences are even worse:<\/p>\n

Stealing the Constitution is one thing: nobody seems to read it anymore and Trump would probably appreciate the news talking about something other than him telling everyone his dog ate the Epstein list. But robbing Beyonc\u00e9 during the Cowboy Carter tour?! It is an understatement to say that Beyonc\u00e9 boasts one of the most<\/em> dedicated fan bases of our time. Who needs Atlanta PD on the case when you have the BeyHive? Detail oriented and moderately obsessed viewers have been a key component to solving many a cold case \u2014 if some detective work is all that stands between new Beyonc\u00e9 music, expect her parasocial fans to have the perp identified very soon. And whatever lawyer they can get their hands on probably isn\u2019t as good as Alex Spiro<\/a>. <\/p>\n
