Beautiful as always, Chloe took over The Tonight Show on Tuesday. She gave a special rendition of her hit single, “Have Mercy.” Last night’s performance was a bit different from that of hers at the 2021 VMA’s. This performance gave a theatrical feel with live violinists in tow, ending on a very Chloetic note.
Who Is Chloe Bailey?
Chloe Bailey is the older half of the sister duo Chloe x Halle. She has played in small roles in films such as Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns, The Last Holiday, and Fighting Temptations. She and her sister Halle started a Youtube channel in 2011, where they did covers of different artists songs. In 2013, Chloe and Halle caught the attention of Grammy Award winning super star Beyonce, after uploading a cover of her song “Pretty Hurts.” Beyonce decided to sign the girls to her label, Parkwood Entertainment, and also served as their mentor.
Although there has been no official announcement of the duo splitting, Chloe is currently working on an untitled solo album. She said that the album is “definitely more pop. I’m creating my own lane, as well as paying homage to the ones who have inspired me. The singer said that working on the album on her own has been the most liberated and happy she’s ever felt. “I’m wrapping it up with such bad-bitch energy.” Chloe has already garnered nearly 5 million social media followers, and over 24 million views on Youtube of her video for her debut solo single, “Have Mercy”, since its release on September 10th.

Is Chloe The Next Beyonce
Chloe’s solo project has folks wondering if she will be the next Beyonce. It definitely isn’t far fetched. I mean she is the Grammy award winning superstar’s protege, with undeniable talent that is similar to that of Beyonce. The 23-year-old entertainer not only sings, but dances, plays instruments, produces music, and acts. She gives her all every time she hits the stage. She’s not new to this, she’s true to this. She began working in entertainment at a very young age, and so did Beyonce. After her debut solo performance of “Have Mercy” at the 2021 VMA’s many people undoubtedly noticed how she channeled Beyonce in her performance at the 2021 VMA’s, Chloe left many wondering if she was going to be the next Beyonce. So much that people started to share memes like the ones below, across social media.

Chloe did an interview with MTV news last month. She spoke about being compared to Beyonce. “It’s such a huge compliment,” the singer said. “B” has always been such a huge inspiration to me. For people to even say that that’s the vibe they get from me is a huge compliment in itself, because she’s a legend, she’s an icon.”We don’t know yet if Chloe will be the next Beyonce. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill. However, this young lady is beyond beautiful and talented, and could very well be up to the job. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
