During her acceptance of the Innovation Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Beyonce expressed her gratitude to all of the artistic pioneers who came before her. She honored those who had made sacrifices while “creating shifts” in order to ensure that future generations would be able to “defy any label placed upon them.”
Fans were able to watch Beyoncé glammed up in her country-and-western manner at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, despite the fact that she did not do a live performance from her new album, Cowboy Carter. However, they did got to see her dressed in her country-and-western style.
Considering that she is venturing into a whole new genre with this release, the singer of “Texas Hold ‘Em” was suitably dressed for her speech as she earned the Innovator Award. However, it is yet unknown how well she will be received in the very traditional venue in which she will be performing.
Despite the fact that Queen Bey has previously expressed her gratitude to Mickey Guyton for being one of the pioneers who helped her enter the world of country music, she added another name to the list on Monday night, and this time it was not only for country music but for all music.
Innovators may be found in every sector of the economy. Without them, a sector would eventually become stale and out of date, and it will die out. However, resistance is a natural consequence of innovation. One must be a courageous individual in order to possess both the creative ability to push limits and the strength to see it through to the end.
Stevie Wonder, who was the one who presented Bey with the prize, was one of the individuals whom Bey was able to identify as an innovator who had influenced her. While she was praising him, he responded by saying, “I just want to thank you for motivating the world to become a better place.” He said this in response to her compliments.
After that, she addressed the audience and discussed what it means to be an innovator, as well as what innovation implies in its most fundamental sense. “The first step toward innovation is to dream. However, after that, you have to put that ambition into action, and the path to success may be rather rocky,” she said. Seeing what everyone else considers to be impossible is what it means to be an innovator. When you are an innovator, you will often be subjected to criticism, which will frequently put your mental fortitude to the test.

“Being an innovator is leaning on faith and trusting that God will catch you and guide you,” she said in conclusion. “So, to all the record labels, every radio station, every award show, my hope is that we’re more open to the joy and liberation that comes from enjoying art, with no preconceived notions.”
In the next sentence, she expressed her gratitude to the innovators who had “dedicated their lives and their art to creating shifts.” She said, “Thank you for your sacrifices, your powerful voices, and your fearless spirits.” Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Tracy Chapman, Linda Martell, Prince, Andre 3000, Tina Turner, and Michael Jackson were some of the artists that were recognized for their contributions.
As she continued, she thanked her husband and her three children for their support over the years. “Thank you for executing your dream so that we can all follow,” she added before moving on to praise her husband.
