Beyoncé: 1. Target: 0.
Not only does the worldwide superstar drop an album with absolutely zero marketing tricks and still manage to top Billboard charts, but Bey also knows how to throw shade in the classiest of ways—while also helping out people!
Queen B was photographed visiting a Walmart earlier this evening, and reportedly bought all the customers present a $50 gift card!
"Beyonce just hit up wal mart and purchased everyone in the store $50 gift cards. Beyonce for president," an Instagram user wrote with the photo.
Bey pushed her own cart around, grabbing a few items (including her new album) and got on the speaker system to greet customers and surprise them with their gift card. The store manager told Us Weekly, a total of 750 cards ($37,500 worth) were enclosed within envelopes that read, "Happy Holidays from Beyoncé."
Her grand gesture comes a few days after Walmart's competitor, Target, released a statement saying they wouldn't carry Bey's new album in stores.
