Michelle Williams is out here reminding us all of the eternity she has and had to be reckoned with on stage, on film, and in music—and the Queen Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child and Broadway talent had some words to share on the official Death Becomes Her Instagram, and of course, she meant business.

Williams reminisces about the times of high standards during the Destiny’s Child days. “That level of excellence” that Beyoncé puts forth, she says. “When you come from Destiny’s Child, and then when you see the level of excellence that Beyoncé performs at, you step it up, right?” she laughed. Broadway is an entirely different league. “Me being on Broadway, that is pretty much the Olympics of theater,” she confers. “How much higher do you get in theater? Broadway.”

Correct. Being an originator of a role in Death Becomes Her-whether one of her dream projects-has been one of the highlights of her career. “I’ve grown so much,” she admitted. “To originate a role, that’s pretty awesome.”

The fans in the comments supported her confidence. One user said, “I love that Death Becomes Her is my intro into Michelle. Also, the connection to Beyoncé is iconic.” Another said, “Michelle The BRIDGE Williams is QUEEN! 🔥❤️🙌.” And they’re right.

A UK fan spilled the tea and said they’ve never purposely played a Beyoncé record, but Williams’ rendition of Death Becomes Her goes on repeat for an average of three to four times a day. “Your vocals are a technical feat most artistes could only dream of pulling off,” she said. “And you do this every day. And make it look effortless.”

The trajectory of Williams, from girl group member to Broadway powerhouse, is quite inspiring. And honestly, being able to keep up with the legendary work ethic of Beyoncé is a talent in itself. To really hit the nail on the head, one critic said, “It’s just a natural thing to want to step it up being next to someone who sets the bar so high.”

Her fellow cast members are continuing to hype her up. A fan who saw the show live bragged, “She was excellent when I saw the show!💜” while another declared, “GOLD MEDALIST in the Olympics of theater 🥇.”

At the end of the day, Williams is showing growth isn’t just about one success. From music to Broadway and being a full-fledged icon, she does it all and does it effortlessly.
