QUEEN "B" performance at the VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS [2016]

[@paigehamilton8950]

I know das right especially already and my power with the lil dance

[@melsyoutube]

the fact she found time to rehearse for a whole medley in the middle of a worldwide stadium tour is incredible. everything about this whole performance is just a masterclass. from the stage design to the setlist to the visuals to the vocals to the new choreo to the transitions to the costume changes to the use of space to the audience reaction... it's perfection. AND she was sick! 😭 bey really dominated 2016. the lemonade era is so special.

[@simon5851]

the funny thing is that she was in Capri in Italy a few days before the vma

[@quintinlamarr657]

Perfectly said. She gave stellar performances that entire year. Her best of her career. She was already iconic by this point but she solidified her legend status with Lemonade. Amazing career.

Today, at the age of 21, after learning and recognizing my white privilege and watching this performance, I feel chills and pride in how much she has been changing the lives of millions of people for the better.
