Im not mad, I'm impressed.

Sweden is blaming Beyonce for their inflation.

Queen Bey started her highly anticipated "Renaissance" world tour in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 10.

Now reports say her two nights of shows added to a surge in the costs of hotels and restaurants, adding to soaring inflation.

It was reported that fans from North America went to her show in Sweden because of the less expensive price tag.

Buzzfeed reported that floor tickets in Sweden were set at $95 compared to floor seats in New York at $823 or more.

That gave fans a good reason to make a whole vacation out of the experience.

In an interview with CNN, Michael Grahn, the chief economist at Danske Bank in Sweden, said this is highly unusual.

"It's not normal. Stars come here all the time, but we seldom see effects like this.

He admitted she might not be the sole cause of the inflation rise, but it's a good starting point.

"Perhaps all that isn't just down to her as there are other events taking place, but when you think about what was the cause, she is the prime suspect. " he speculated

"We did hear a month ago that it was very hard for her fans to get accommodation and that hotel rates went up. It seems to be a reasonable guess." Grahn added
