We weren’t sure when those photos were taken, though, so we weren’t completely convinced that everything was cool. But over the weekend, Beyoncé posted a new photo of the sisters, which she made sure to timestamp for us so we know that it was indeed taken on Saturday: The photo’s caption simply reads, “New Orleans May17th 2014.” So this means they were hanging out together, wearing bright clothing and smiling for pictures. The sisters apparently [had lunch](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/beyonce-jay-z-lunch-solange-new-orleans-article-1.1797473 "undefined") with Jay Z over the weekend, too, and there were no reports of any fighting. So it seems like all is calm and they’ve all resumed their celebrity lives. Alas, we’ll probably never know what Jay and Solange were saying to each other, but _SNL_ has a pretty good guess: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/104587/beyonce-solange-jay-z-back-to-normal/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/104587/beyonce-solange-jay-z-back-to-normal/"},"headline":"Beyoncé, Solange and Jay Z Desperate to Convince Us Things Are Back to Normal","datePublished":"2014-05-19T14:12:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-21T07:15:16.477Z","description":"They've all been hanging out in New Orleans","url":"https://time.com/104587/beyonce-solange-jay-z-back-to-normal/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Beyonce","Jay-z","Instagram","entertainment","celebrity","TIME 100","solange","solange knowles","sisters"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/104587/beyonce-solange-jay-z-back-to-normal/","name":"Beyoncé, Solange and Jay Z Desperate to Convince Us Things Are Back to Normal"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"What Happened Between Solange Knowles & Jay-Z?","description":"What happened between Solange Knowles and Jay Z?
