Minneapolis Honors Beyonce With Her Own “Bey Day”

As the “Renaissance World Tour” made its stop in Minneapolis, the mayor and governor of Minnesota came together to honor Beyoncé by proclaiming a special day dedicated to her accomplishments.

On Thursday, the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor of Minnesota presented Beyonce with a special recognition. Ironically enough, the honor coincided with the “Renaissance World Tour” Minnesota stop.

“Beyoncé is a world-renowned singer, artist, and producer. With the most Grammy awards in history, we couldn’t be more excited to have her performing in MPLS tonight. I’m beyond excited to proclaim today as Bey Day in the city of Minneapolis,” Mayor Jacob Frey tweeted.

Within the mayor’s 10 individual proclamation clauses, several references were made to the singer and her previous group, Destiny’s Child. One of the clauses stated, ““Whereas Beyoncé has helped raise ‘Bills, Bills, Bills’ for nonprofit organizations to advance feminism and equal rights.”

Following the successful European leg of her tour, Beyoncé has now embarked on the North American segment, commencing in Toronto and subsequently making its way to Philadelphia. In addition to Frey, Governor Tim Walz also issued a proclamation in recognition of her achievements.

“I might be governor of Minnesota, but we all know who runs the world,” he wrote on Twitter. “Welcome to Minnesota, Beyoncé!”
