After winning more Grammys than any other artist, and being considered one of the greatest performers of all time, Beyoncé will now receive her latest honour: a listing in a French dictionary, reports The Independent.
The star singer, who recently released her eighth studio album Cowboy Carter, will be included as a proper noun in Petit Larousse Illustré, an encyclopaedic dictionary first published in 1905.
Beyoncé, 42, is one of 40 French and international personalities chosen for the publication’s 2024 update and is listed as an “American singer of R&B and pop”. French rugby union player Antoine Dupont will also be included in the new edition.
The artist is known to be a fan of France and its fashion and culture, with songs such as 2013’s “Partition” including segments in French. She also has taken several holidays in Paris and Cannes with her husband Jay Z and their three children.
