Zendaya grateful to make 'music history' with Beyonce
Singer/actress Zendaya will always treasure her role in Beyonce's All Night video because she considers it a part of "music history".
The K.C. Undercover star joined fellow actress Amandla Stenberg and Beyonce's protegees Chloe X Halle in the promo, which debuted as part of the superstar's Lemonade TV special and shock album release in April (16).
Zendaya previously gushed about being invited to take part in the
surprise project, and now she admits she will forever remember that
video as one of the highlights of her career.
"It was a really powerful moment and I feel like I was a part of
music history...," the 20-year-old shared on breakfast show Good
Morning America.
She also considers the gig a great learning experience from one of
her pop idols.
"I'm just obsessed with Beyonce and have been since my birth," she
smiled. "(It was great to) just to be there and really learn from
her and see how amazing she is - how detail oriented. It was just
cool to just sit back and watch."
Everyone involved in the Lemonade project was sworn to secrecy and
soon after it premiered, Zendaya took to Instagram to share her
delight at her involvement.
"One of the most beautiful things I've ever had the honor of being
a part of...," she captioned a snap of the All Night cast. "Black.
Girl. Magic."
The groundbreaking Lemonade special, which featured videos for all
of Beyonce's new concept material, went on to land three
nominations for the 2016 Primetime Emmy Awards.
It has also scored nine nods for the 2017 Grammy Awards, including
Album of the Year, Record of the Year for Formation, and Best Music
Film.
