Believe it or not: Scarecrows in Bali just got a premium Queen Bey upgrade

Some farmers use scarecrows. Farmers in Bali? They’ve apparently hired Beyoncé. A viral video showing a life-size cutout of the pop icon “guarding” crops is back on everyone’s feed, and yes – it’s exactly as unusual as it sounds. Clearly, the farmers knew that when in doubt, bring in Queen Bey.

When farming meets fandom
If you thought the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz makes the cut, it’s time to think again, the Gen Z way. The farmers have swapped the traditional straw figures for something far more iconic. The clip, widely shared online, shows a black-and-white cutout of Beyoncé planted right in the middle of a field, doubling as a very stylish scarecrow. Effectiveness? Unclear. Vibes? Immaculate.

The internet has thoughts (obviously)
Rice fields in Indonesia might be serene, but unexpectedly seeing Beyonce in the fields made netizens go LOL. “I feel like the crows may gather for a show,” one user joked. Another imagined the setup came with speakers blasting Crazy in Love. One comment read, “Crows running away like “We can’t afford these tour tickets, while another said, “Now if I were a bird I would be hanging around her all day.”
