DNC Fail: Viewers Rage After False Reports of Beyoncé Performance — ‘F**king Liars Lied to Get People to Watch’

Fans and viewers had a collective meltdown after pop star Beyoncé was a no-show at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) following multiple news reports that the Grammy-winner would perform on Thursday night. “F**king liars,” one fan reacted, accusing the convention and or news outlets of lying “to get people to watch.”

“Beyoncé Performing at DNC’s Final Night!!!” read a headline from TMZ, which reported that multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that the “Beautiful Liar” singer would be “big surprise performer” as Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepts the Democrat Party nomination.

Other news outlets followed suit, reporting of Beyoncé’s imminent DNC performance, with Huff Post telling viewers to look out for the “Bey Watch.”

To quote the great Beyonce: We gotta lay our cards down, down, down … we got this one wrong.
