The trailer for Beyonce and Jay-Z's "On the Run" Tour special has been released.
HBO is set to premiere the rnb power couple's show on September 20, whether they divorce or not. The teaser shows Beyonce dressed in a somewhat showgirl costume singing "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Cher, as Jay-Z looks on while smoking a cigar.
Rumors surfaced that the HBO-premiered show will not be pushing through at all, since the first trailer for the television special was released before the divorce rumors have even started. Despite the couple posting happy photos of themselves being together and showing they're "inlove", these kept being countered by reports saying that the couple continues to sleep in separate rooms in their chosen hotels for each leg of the tour. Reports saying that an official break-up statement will be made after the whole tour, even surfaced on a few sources online.
Despite the initial speculations though, HBO surprised everyone by posting the second trailer for the television special, this time causing more excitement with fans, as surrounding rumors heightened.
However, after clearing the rumors that the show would not proceed with airing, new doubts regarding Beyonce and Jay-Z's relationship arised-yet again. This time, speculators are been taking the song choice as a signal of an impending divorce, as the lyrics talk about how a couple underwent a relationship from the beginning right up to separation or more so, death. The lyrics also give fans the impression that Jay-Z might have indeed cheated on Beyonce, causing him to "shoot her down".
The way other sources are seeing it, Beyonce and Jay-Z are both just using the issue to gain more money for their brand, regardless if the separation rumors are true. After all, business is business. And whether they lose romance between themselves or not, they still gain more money to put behind their names.
