Travelling by plane on a long flight to Japan, Bey came across a sample by singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks. Something about that fluctuating guitar rhythm "reminded [her] of the voluptuous woman" Within a moment of musical inspiration, the song and phrase Bootylicious were born with the intent of "celebrat[ing] a woman's curves" Bey's booty message didn't stop there as Bootylicious paved the road for another ode to booty in the form of Check On It and began a movement that continues in popular culture to this day. 

In a world of twerking, Megan Trainor and Jennifer Lopez, Queen Bey was the first to coin the phrase and give confidence to the masses of curvy woman to go out there and own that dance floor.

Slight addiction to toast and Will & Grace. I love a good Feminist rant and R&B divas are my life.
