She’s not just one of the best performers on the planet, with a pretty impressive set of lungs, she’s that one woman we all want to emulate – whether it be her stunning looks, her incredible sense of style (we love the new bangs, BTW) or her amazing business brain.
Oh and not to forget her incredible dancing skills. We all know the routine to* Single Ladies* and Crazy In Love now…
