Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter was born on September 4, 1981, in Houston, Texas. Every year the BeyHive turns September 4 into a worldwide celebration — this countdown runs to the next one.
From fronting Destiny's Child as a teenager to Renaissance and Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé has spent three decades redefining pop, R&B and country on her own terms, with era-defining live shows like her 2018 Coachella headline set.
