Tina Knowles Explains Beyoncé's Idea of Being Lit
Tina Knowles Reveals How Beyoncé Gets ‘Lit’ When No One’s Watching
When most people hear the phrase “getting lit,” images of wild parties and flashing lights might come to mind. But for global superstar Beyoncé, it turns out the real definition hits a lot closer to home — and heart.
In a recent interview with People, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, opened up about what fun looks like in the Queen Bey household. Spoiler alert: it’s not what you’d expect from one of the world’s most iconic entertainers.
According to Knowles, Beyoncé’s idea of a good time is rooted in family, music, and intimate moments with close friends. “Her version of getting lit is being with her kids and close friends, dancing, laughing, and just enjoying each other,” Knowles shared. It’s a glimpse into the grounded, joyful energy that powers one of music’s most private stars.
Of course, the Knowles-Carter crew still knows how to party — just in their own unique way. “They dance, they party, they let loose — but always together,” said Knowles. It’s clear that for Beyoncé, fun doesn’t require a red carpet or flashing cameras — just a good vibe and good people.
And what’s a celebration without a toast? Knowles revealed that when Beyoncé does enjoy a drink, she often reaches for her own whisky brand, SirDavis. The name may still be flying under the radar for some fans, but it’s clearly earned a place at the singer’s table.
As for whispers of Beyoncé venturing into rock music, Knowles didn’t offer a definitive answer. When asked about a possible rock album, she responded with a bit of uncertainty — leaving fans everywhere to speculate and hope. Given Beyoncé’s genre-bending artistry, it wouldn’t be surprising if she surprises the world yet again.
Whether she’s redefining music or reimagining what it means to “get lit,” one thing’s for sure: Beyoncé keeps it real — and keeps it close to home.
