What is Beyoncé’s stage alter ego called on the album I Am... Sasha Fierce?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s stage alter ego on I Am... Sasha Fierce is called Sasha Fierce.

The 2008 double album was divided into two contrasting discs. I Am... focused on ballads and more personal material, while Sasha Fierce emphasized a bolder, more performance-oriented persona. Beyoncé described Sasha Fierce as an alter ego that helped her access confidence onstage.

The album produced major singles including “If I Were a Boy,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” “Halo,” and “Diva.” “Single Ladies” became especially associated with its energetic choreography and distinctive black-and-white music video.

Beyoncé later said she no longer needed the Sasha Fierce persona because she had grown more comfortable being herself. The nickname “Queen Bey” is a separate fan and media title, while “Yoncé” is an informal shortened form of her name; neither is the alter ego named in the album title.
