According to “Carpool Karaoke” showrunner Ben Winston, Bey was always their dream guest, but unfortunately, their schedules never aligned to make it happen.

“I think with Beyoncé, she does things in such a different way," Ben told the Hollywood Reporter of why she never did the show.

"Like, she doesn’t do promo, really. She doesn’t need to," he continued. "Think about her last album, that monster hit album — name one promo. She didn’t even do a music video. So we always knew it was gonna be hard to get her singing in a car, but we would’ve loved it."

He added, "It’s all good, though. I know she’s a fan of the show, and she’s always been really lovely and responsive, and we’d been close a couple of times, but it wasn’t meant to be.”
