Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé Says Jay-Z Paved the Way for Glastonbury Performance

Beyoncé was on cloud nine after her history-making performance at Glastonbury on Sunday. Moments after coming off stage, a beaming B could hardly contain her excitement when reflecting on the career milestone.

“I’m completely high. It’s so surreal what just happened,” she told Lauren Laverne and Jo Whiley. “This is like a highlight of my career.”

The global superstar had been preparing the headlining set for about two months in advance. “I don’t normally do festivals and 175,000 people, and I was very nervous,” she said. “And everyone gave me so much love and I will never, ever, ever, ever forget this.”

She sent over the 90-minute set list to festival veteran and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for approval, and believes that Jay-Z’s headline-making performance in 2008 opened the door for her.

“I was able to see my husband perform here a couple years ago and it was one of the most exciting nights for me, and I don’t know if I would have been asked to come if he didn’t do the performance,” revealed B.

@Twitter.com/CiaraMedlies, has always been the case with beyonce unfortunately. like Chris brown she too needs to swallow a dictionary. I have never heard anyone use the word and as much as Beyonce EVER. Perhaps she was just so excited. So she can get a pass this time. lol haters and ignorant stans. save the malarkey. better yet go look it up. my vocabulary is quite extensive.

@Twitter.com/CiaraMedlies, Why are you always the very first person to comment on a Beyonce post? Maybe if Ci-Error had a career you could comment on hers.

@MIA, It’s not worshiping . It’s supporting your favorite artists .

@Real Issh, There’s a difference between obsessing and supporting. it’s not healthy to dedicate your life to someone you don’t even know.

@c.j, Nobody’s squeezing Jay-z anywhere. HIS WIFE said it herself. You don’t have to like him but BEYONCE LOVES HIM.

She is so down to earth I love her personality. She’s seems so real now that she’s not under her father’s thumb. Though her music is doing bad she’s still a good artist.

I will say this and only this, I just can’t wait until we get her numbers next week because after this performance I know they will be crazy especially in the UK. And since every haters were calling her a flop and I’m sure she won’t flop things are gonna get really hilarious.
