Beyoncé fans are some of the most extra in existence. Their queen communicates in all-or-nothing gestures – a high art photoshoot to announce a twin pregnancy, radio silence on ‘Becky with the good hair‘. She never gives interviews, and everything is a performance.
Which is why we’ve reached a point where at least 14k people reckon she’s just sneakily revealed the sex of her twins.
In a series of photos released on her website today, Bey showed off her very pregnant figure in a black velvet dress. She looks a million dollars, which tbh is probably what this look cost.
But, as Twitter user @yawncey pointed out, she’s also wearing the same earrings she donned in 2008 for her devastating ‘If I Were A Boy‘ video clip.

(It should be pointed out that that song is more about a relationship breakdown than gender roles, but still. HUGE if true.)

And it wouldn’t be the first time she’s dropped subtle hints about upcoming news, either.
The visual album included footage of Hattie White, Jay Z‘s grandmother, at her 90th birthday party, where it looks like this shot (and a few others) might have been taken. “I had my ups and downs, but I always find the inner strength to pull myself up,” Hattie says. “I was served lemons, but I made lemonade.”
And people are convinced that Bey was hinting at her twin pregnancy long before she went public.

So is she having twin boys? Or does she just quite like the earrings?
