All the single ladies, by Yasmin Forsythe

Description

When Beyonce’s hit song All The Single Ladies first topped the charts back in 2008, it was an instant hit thanks to its catchy lyrics and dance worthy-beat. But now more than a decade later, the single girls anthem still rings true for a generation of millennial women choosing to marry later — if at all. Once considered a simple pop song, the R&B singer’s chart hit can arguably now be viewed as a historical record highlighting a massive culture shift towards attitudes surrounding marriage. As marriage rates decline and the stereotype of the lonely spinster slowly fades, no longer are women basing their lives around walking down the aisle. This generation of women are finding empowerment and fulfillment by taking relationships at their own pace.
