Beyoncé Knowles-Carter CO_APPEARED_WITH Elisa New (combined_score: 18). Elisa New is a Harvard English professor who hosts the PBS series "Poetry in America." This co-appearance stems from EFTA02545211 (December 17, 2017), where Lisa New wrote a thank-you email to Epstein referencing her PBS show, on which Beyoncé had appeared. This is a one-hop institutional connection through Harvard/PBS — not a personal relationship.
6 documents reference Beyoncé:
Document 1 — EFTA02191556 (October 8, 2016) [GRADE B]
Lesley Groff (Epstein's executive assistant) exchanged emails regarding a Ticketmaster order for Beyoncé: The Formation World Tour. The email includes login credentials for the Ticketmaster account. This documents that someone in Epstein's household purchased Beyoncé concert tickets — a routine consumer transaction. The Formation World Tour played MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, NJ) on October 7, 2016.
Documents 2–3 — EFTA02347945 and EFTA02349005 (October 7, 2016) [GRADE B]
Epstein's daily schedule for October 7–9, 2016 includes references to the Beyoncé concert logistics. The schedule also shows meetings with Brad Karp and Peter Thiel on the same day — standard Epstein social calendar management.
Documents 4–6 are incidental mentions: an NYU Abu Dhabi newsletter (EFTA02434627), a Paul Krassner cultural discussion email (EFTA02346972), and news/media content.
Beyoncé / Knowles does not appear in the Black Book. No "Knowles" entries match Beyoncé (the only Knowles references are unrelated: Clayton Knowles, Kandy Knowles, etc.).
Zero flight records for Beyoncé or any Knowles variant.
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: Beyoncé appears in the Epstein corpus through a Ticketmaster concert ticket purchase (a consumer transaction anyone could make) and incidental cultural references. She has no Black Book entry, no flight records, no direct communications, and no meaningful network connections. The Elisa New co-appearance is an artifact of New's Harvard/PBS relationship with Epstein, not a Beyoncé-Epstein connection. There is no evidence of any connection between Beyoncé and Jeffrey Epstein.
