Turns out Sasha Fierce turns a little more fierce when it comes to wardrobe changes. During a recent episode of Sherri, Beyoncé mom, Tina Knowles revealed her daughter’s not-so-glamorous side comes out when she is under high-pressure changing outfits backstage.

"I was saying, 'Girl, you get really mean back there,' and I am really happy that I don't have to be back there anymore," Tina shared of the high-intensity moments that only a few get to see. “We'd laugh because she used to do ‘Flaws and All,’ she would say, ‘I'm a [bi***] in the morning,’ and I’ll be like, ‘and the evening too!’” she laughed.
Hard to blame Queen B when you hear she has around 600 costumes to choose from while on tour – most of them having to be put on perfectly in a matter of minutes.
“We had over 600 costumes to choose from,” Knowles said of the wardrobe on Bey’s recently wrapped Renaissance Tour. “She still has maybe 150 costumes that she hasn’t… But every night, she did at least five, four to five new costumes.”
While tensions got high, Knowles said her daughter always came around to apologize after recognizing she got caught in the heat of the moment. “She’ll be like, ‘Mama, I’m so sorry,’ and I’m like, ‘I know.’ Sometimes she’ll be crying, and I was like, ‘She crying because she know she just said some crazy stuff to us,’” Tina said.
She concluded, “But that’s the heat of the moment, because you’re trying to get your shoes on, and everybody’s waiting, and if somebody’s messing up or they lose the shoes, then you messed up the whole show. So, I understand it.”
We understand it too, because “Who Run The World?” Beyoncé!
