WELCOME TO PLANET beyoncé
Beyoncé is not like the rest of us. We know this because she has sold 160m records, was last week revealed to have earned over $100m this year and can move objects using only the power of her mind (probably). But those aren't the only things Queen Bey doe

Last week, recent Beyoncé collaborator Ed Sheeran revealed that the singer changes her email every week to protect her privacy (or possibly to stop Ed Sheeran emailing her). Considering we struggle to remember our various passwords for more than four hours at a time, her ability to juggle 52 email addresses a year means we can add ‘personal admin supremo’ to Bey’s ever-expanding list of superhuman abilities. All that’s left to do is release a coffee table book documenting her expired accounts (Becky_can_ Do_one@hotmail.com?).

Beyoncé’s house contains a temperature controlled digital archive containing every photo of her, every interview she’s ever done and every show she’s ever performed. Meanwhile, we can’t even get organised enough to sort out the pics on our phone. Since 2005 she has spent up to 16 hours a day being trailed by a ‘visual director’, who is tasked with recording her every movement (no, that person is not Michelle Williams). ( That we know of.)

Even ignoring the collapsing-baby-bump conspiracy theories, Beyoncé’s version of maternity dressing is as singular as her reaction (or lack thereof ) to seeing her husband get scissor-kicked by Solange. Traditionally, mums-to-be make the most of elasticated waists and drapery; she announced her own twin pregnancy wearing lingerie and a veil, in an Instagram post shot by artist Awol Erizku. It has just been confirmed as the app’s most liked image of 2017.
