This month’s issue of BEAT Magazine will feature the sultry R&B artist Beyoncé in a stunning American flag-wrapped photography series. Among the American-themed editorial shoot, the flawless artist can be seen holding a chicken, wearing a [tie-dyed bathing suit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection) and riding a bike.

The playful series, which was photographed by Ryan McGinley is filled with summer-inspired scenes. The photographer is able to show a playful side to the [sultry singer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raye), while still capturing her fiercely bold presence.

In addition to the beautiful flag-wrapped poses, the magazine spread will feature an interview with Beyoncé. This will be the very first interview 'Queen B' has given to a print publication in two years. This issue of BEAT will be on sale for consumer purchase on October 21.
