*Beyoncé has captivated audiences on both stage and screen, but according to her mother, Tina Knowles, her days as a film actress are behind her.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on March 7, Knowles reflected on her daughter’s past film work, sharing a clip of Beyoncé’s performance as Etta James in “Cadillac Records” (2008). “This is still one of my favorite movies, and it makes me miss the fact that my child decided not to continue with movies,” she wrote.
Beyoncé made her acting debut in the 2001 TV movie “Carmen: A Hip Hopera” before appearing in “Austin Powers in Goldmember” (2002), “The Fighting Temptations” (2003), “The Pink Panther” (2006), “Dreamgirls” (2006), and “Obsessed” (2009). She has also lent her voice to Queen Tara in the animated film “Epic” (2013) and portrayed Nala in Disney’s “The Lion King” (2019) as well as the prequel, “Mufasa: The Lion King”(2024).
Praising her daughter’s performance in “Cadillac Records,” Knowles added, “She killed it in this movie. And she so unselfishly donated her salary to the Phoenix House.”
Phoenix House is a nonprofit organization that supports individuals in addiction recovery. Beyoncé reportedly contributed her $4 million paycheck from the movie to the foundation.

The multi-Grammy-winning artist is preparing for her Cowboy Carter tour, but may be facing unexpected ticket sale challenges, NewsNation reports.
Despite the album’s success—topping the country charts and earning her a Grammy for Album of the Year—her upcoming tour has yet to sell out any shows. Tickets remain available across all dates, according to Ticketmaster and StubHub, NewsNation reports.
The issue is particularly noticeable in the U.K., where The Times reported that Ticketmaster anticipated a rush for tickets that never materialized. In the U.S., economic factors may be at play, as many fans spent heavily on her last tour and on Taylor Swift tickets.
“Her fanbase did not like Cowboy Carter—they were not impressed,” a music industry insider said. “They just blew their wad seeing her two years ago and in Taylor tickets… Bad economics right now.”
