In the year 2016, Serena Williams made a dancing cameo appearance in Beyonce’s ‘Sorry’ in the visual album Lemonade. She shared her experience of being part of Beyonce’s project. Apparently, the song was supposed to raise awareness on social issues like racism and feminism which takes place around the globe.
“I thought that a particular song on the visual album was really a strong song, and it was also really fun at the same time. You know, I don’t know if it solved social issues or anything,” Serena Williams shared.
“That’s definitely a lot, but I definitely think it addresses some. I think her music is really bold. In particular this album I think is really bold and really strong. I was really happy to be a part of it.”
