Beyoncé is one of the most famous and celebrated musical artists in the world. She has adjusted to a life of extreme fame with grace and dignity, and she has to walk a very fine line between giving fans enough about her personal life to help build her persona and showcase her art while also maintaining privacy for her own sanity and the safety of her family.

Of course, many fans are insatiable when it comes to information and details about their favorites, and Beyoncé is definitely a fan favorite. People want to know everything about her: from her favorite beauty products to her childhood secrets. One thing that fans might wonder about is how tall Beyoncé is. 

Beyoncé started her path to fame early

Beyoncé was born in Houston, Texas in 1981, and she was quickly set on a path to fame. Her parents recognized and nurtured her immense talent for singing and dancing, and by the time she was 10, she was participating in national performances with a group of other girls managed by her father.

Eventually, that group became Destiny’s Child, and the teens burst onto the music scene snatching up awards and attention as they went. This created the foundation for Beyoncé’s solo career, which has now become one of the most successful and recognizable of all time. 

Just because she came to fame young doesn’t mean that it was something she was used to or expected. Her family was not in the national spotlight when she was growing up, and adjusting to her incredible wealth and the fandom that made it possible has certainly been part of the effort she’s had to undertake over the years.

While Beyoncé frequently discusses her pride in her hometown and her family’s roots, she is also intensely private about her personal life and often hides details from fans. 

Beyoncé has faced harsh rumors

One of the reasons that Beyoncé has worked hard to keep a low-profile when it comes to her family and personal life is because she knows the dark side of all that fame. People have started ridiculous rumors about her and her family, and these stories have to be hurtful and alarming — especially when they involve her children.

Beyoncé works hard to keep her fans happy while also protecting her children from the harsh glare of the spotlight. In fact, she has taken extra measures to make sure no one knows when she’s giving birth to help protect those precious and vulnerable first few hours of her children’s lives from paparazzi. 

If it was up to the star, she would also keep a low profile when she goes out in public, but she blames her famous husband, Jay-Z, for making that impossible. As her beauty tips have revealed, the star has a penchant for everyday, accessible products, but enjoying something as simple as a stroll through Target can be really difficult for someone with the recognition she has.

As fans scramble to learn every detail they can about their favorite artist, one fact they might seek is her height. Beyoncé certainly looms larger than life in her amazing performances, but is she really tall?

Well, according to the CDC, the average height for women in the United States is 63.6 inches (or 5’3″). Beyoncé does come in a little taller than that at 5’7″. 

If it seems like she’s even taller, it might be because she is typically performing in some shoes that really provide a height boost. Fans took to a Reddit thread to discuss how tall the singer might be in her tallest set of heels. One fan speculated: “She’s 5’7″ and she’s worn almost 7 inch shoes a few times so around 6’2″ in them but I would guess most of her heels are closer to 5 inches so around 6′.”
