Beyoncé has encouraged fans to vote in the – I can’t believe I’m saying this – *visuals* for ‘Bodyguard’. To coincide with the U.S.
election, as well as “Beylloween”, the Grammy winner has paid homage to Pamela Anderson’s two most iconic characters: C.J. Parker in Baywatch and the title character in Barb Wire.
Dressed as the latter hero, Beyoncé fires a prop gun which reads, “Vote!” In an additional scene recreating Anderson’s legendary outfit at the 1999 VMA’s, Beyoncé pokes fun at fan demand for music videos as she attends the ‘No Visuals Award’.
Although the video abruptly ends after the second chorus, it notably marks the first visual (sort of) in Beyoncé’s planned trilogy of albums, which includes the widely-acclaimed Renaissance (2022) and Cowboy Carter (2024).
