Beyoncé is one of the most well-known figures in the world. She’s a global pop icon, celebrated for her incredible musical talent, her influence as a Black artist, and her role as an advocate for social issues. Married to Jay-Z, she has established herself as a leading figure in pop culture. She has recently released her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter. While she’s best known for her music, many people may be surprised to learn that she’s also a fan of the fantasy genre. During an interview with GQ, Beyoncé revealed that she is currently watching House of the Dragon, the prequel to HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones.

Beyoncé is a huge fan of Game of Thrones, and has even commended Emilia Clarke for her role as Daenerys. In a recent GQ interview, Beyoncé discussed topics like her upcoming album, family life, and even her passion for the art of making whiskey. She was also asked about her sources of inspiration in music and film. Beyoncé mentioned several female singer-songwriters, but what stood out was her enthusiasm for the shows she’s watching. She revealed:

“I love and respect all of the female singers-songwriters who are out right now… Raye, Victoria Monét, Sasha Keable, Chloe x Halle, and Reneé Rapp. I love Doechii and GloRilla, and I just heard That Mexican OT, he’s from Houston… he goes hard! I really like ‘Please Please Please’ by Sabrina Carpenter, and I think that Thee Sacred Souls and Chappell Roan are talented and interesting. I’m obsessed with my backseat baby…. I’m a Smiler. But the truth is, I spend most of my time listening to the classics, like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and music from artists on the Stax label. I just watched that HBO documentary. It’s so good! I highly recommend it. The best movie I’ve seen this year is Inside Out 2. I think it’s brilliant, and I’m currently watching House of the Dragon and The Chi.”
