A certain Queen Bey might make an appearance at the Emmys this weekend.
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards boasts a competitive list of nominees, including Beyoncé. As fans know, Beyoncé is very selective about the events she attends, and not even her loyal Beyhive fanbase is able to predict her next move. But the team behind the Emmys is ready to welcome her with open arms should she and her husband Jay-Z attend Sunday’s ceremony.
In an interview with Variety published Friday, Sept. 12, Emmys executive producer Jesse Collins said he’s not sure if Bey and Jay will be present, but is prepared for her grand arrival.
“She can make anything happen,” Collins said. “It doesn’t matter where she is in the world right now, if she wants to be here, she’ll be here, and there will be a seat for her. Several. We’re ready for them and whatever they want to do… those are my bosses, so it’s up to them.”
Bey has already won the juried prize in Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming via her special Beyoncé Bowl, which was adapted from her halftime performance from the NFL Christmas Gameday special on Netflix, which saw her make a Houston homecoming to perform material from her Cowboy Carter album live for the first time.
The Beyoncé Bowl special is also nominated for Outstanding Variety Special (Live), alongside The Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show Starring Kendrick Lamar. Jay was an executive producer on the latter. Collins himself was an executive producer on both Beyoncé Bowl and Lamar’s Halftime Show.
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will broadcast from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles this Sunday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET. Viewers can catch the broadcast on CBS and stream live on Paramount+.
