Beyoncé Easter Eggs in "Swarm" Episode 1: "Stung"

  • The series starts in Houston, also Beyoncé's hometown, which she proudly reps in her music and real life.
  • In the episode's opening montage, one of Ni'Jah's most-streamed songs listed on Spotify is called "Love on a Cloud," similarly named after Beyoncé's "Love on Top" — which is also one of her most-streamed songs on the platform.
  • A Harper's Bazaar article in the show titled "World Domination" shows Ni'Jah and her husband, Caché, also an artist, wearing almost the exact same outfits as Beyoncé and JAY-Z from their 2018 "Apesh*t" music video. Remember the hot-pink and mint-green matching suits? The article also teases that the pair dropped a collaborative track like Bey and JAY-Z, though the latter's single was part of their surprise collaborative album, 2018's "Everything Is Love."
  • Ni'Jah's Vogue cover, in which she's wearing a flowy, pastel-coloured dress with floral accents, states that she "speaks her truth." Similarly, in 2018, Beyoncé shot her September cover for the magazine wearing a similar outfit in white, but with a floral headdress, where her story was titled, "In her own words."
  • Similar to Beyoncé's rise to fame, an online bio for Ni'Jah reveals that she was discovered at a talent competition show called "Star Seek" and led an iconic '90s R&B group called XLLENT. As many already know, Queen Bey appeared on talent discovery show "Star Search" in 1993, which eventually led to her getting her big break with her legendary girl group, Destiny's Child.
  • Ni'Jah's grandiose Evolution tour promo closely resembles how Beyoncé's Formation world tour was promoted in 2016. Both artists also dropped creative visual albums (and responses to their husbands cheating on them) before their respective tours — Ni'Jah with "Festival," while Beyoncé famously released "Lemonade."
