Beyoncé stans woke up extra early today to tune into Good Morning America to hear the “amazing” announcement the singer was just dying to get off her chest. Bey and GMA even launched an epic teaser for the episode, complete with dramatic sound effects and a quote from Bey herself, saying that it was something she “had to share with everyone.” Was she announcing a new tour? A new baby? Was Beyoncé finally going to admit what we knew all along: she is a cyborg and therefore truly too perfect to be 100% human?
Nope. Turns out Beyoncé’s big news was way more mundane. In what was the equivalent of a tabloid fluff piece, Bey visited GMA to talk about her vegan diet and 22 Days Nutrition meal service. Yawn. “I am not naturally the thinnest woman,” she said. “I have curves, I’m proud of my curves. I have struggled since a young age with diets. Finding something that actually works, that actually keeps the weight off has been difficult for me.” Blah blah blah, Beyoncé we’re not buying your darn pre-packaged vegan meals so leave us alone!
Of course, the Beyhive did not hesitate to express their disappointment on their dear leader’s less-than-groundbreaking announcement.
We definitely just saw Beyonce eat a burger in fries in the Feelin Myself video though.

We already saw the results of her vegan diet with a see-through dress on the Met Gala red carpet and we pretty much already knew she wasn’t eating meat. But you know, at least Good Morning America got its time in the spotlight this morning.
