Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran Released a Love Song Together—Listen Now!
[SOUND] Coinage. Life, well spent. Presented by Geico. America is crazy in love with Beyonce. She's sold over 100 million records as a solo artists, and won 22 Grammys. She became the highest-paid black musician in history in 2014. Beyonc?? is our queen. But even queens have to pay taxes, let's be real. Beyonc??'s not handling her own tax return. Stars like Beyonc?? have contract with entertainment companies who handle their expenses and taxes. Each star's contract and what is covers is complex and unique. But let's pretend Queen B is prepping her own taxes. What can she write off as a performer that you can't? Part of Beyonce's job as a superstar is to look flawless. So she can write off all the expenses that go in to all her different hairstyles and makeup looks, even if she woke up like this. She can also write off any performance clothing she purchases. All the sparkly bodysuits Bey wants to wear on stage are tax-deductible. Any expenses she incurs while writing and recording her albums are also deductible. That means Bey can write off musical instruments, vocal coaches, and in-home recording studios. Beyonc??'s iconic dance moves don't come from thin air either. She can write off the bills bills bills related to choreographers, dance studios, and physical trainers to keep her bootylicious. Let's not forget her irreplaceable entourage either. Bee has a massive team of assistants, lawyers, bodyguards and publicists. And those salaries can be written off. Feels good to run the world. Coinage, life, well spent, presented by GEICO.

Another great part of this partnership? "Perfect" is a love song and so the lyrics are super sweet:
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

All of the excitement surrounding Beyoncé and Sheeran's take on the song was definitely well warranted. Listen to their version now, and may we suggest just putting it on repeat? Yes, it's that good.
Thanks Bey and Ed, you made our week!
