2020 was a difficult year for millions across the country.
However, music superstar Beyonce made the most of it. The music superstar posted a video message to her fans on New Year’s Day, encouraging them to have a happy new year and showcasing all their achievements in the past 12 months.
The video is a multimedia mix of video clips, films and spontaneous images of her and her children, Blue Ivy and the rarely seen Gemini, Sir and Rumi. More than just self-celebration, the four-minute montage also features defending voting clips and acts of service during the COVID-19 pandemic.
