Beyoncé TURNED Coachella out on Saturday night!!!

The first Black woman to ever headline the coveted concert series blessed us mere mortals with a stunning performance that was #BlackGirlMagic meets HBCU homecoming…and we were LIVING!

That, and she brought out Jay-Z, Solange and Destiny’s Child to help sing some of her classic songs in this historic 26-song set. Not to mention, her amazing wardrobe was custom made by Balmain!

According to CNN, for nearly two hours, Beyoncé revealed surprise after surprise, which included a tribute to Nina Simone and quotes from Malcolm X. And as expected, she came out like an African Queen:

Beyoncé's colors are black and yellow because of the bee motif and because she's QUEEN BEY. ALSO black and gold are the colors for the Alphas —the first black fraternity—because she's the first black woman to headline Coachella.

She’s proven that she isn’t time and time again, but after that Coachella performance, I never want to hear or see the sentence “Beyoncé is overrated” ever again

You cannot tell me Beyonce isn’t humble. For two of the biggest performances of her: SuperBowl and Coachella she has bought back DC3. The love she has for Michelle and Kelly is amazing #Beychella pic.twitter.com/Od5l3rpL48

Fam.

The Black National Anthem.
Malcolm X quotes.
Nina Simone samples.
Stepping and marching bands.
Jigga for the deja vu.
A Destiny’s Child reunion.
A Solange dance collabo.

The greatest living entertainer is a Black woman named Beyonce. This is not up for debate.#Beychella

To all the "why you gotta make it all about race" people. @Beyonce's crest is *literally* symbols of Black power & liberation.

A nubian queen
A black panther
A Black Power fist
A black bee

And on top, a winged sun w/ the eye of Horus in the middle.

My thoughts on Beyoncé and #Beychella summed up. What y’all won’t do is make it seem like she’s overrated. Beyoncé is a LEGEND, an ICON that people will only read about 100 years from now. We are living in HER black ass era and we better guard our edges. #Coachella18 pic.twitter.com/1VcfohTken

Beyoncé
(Bee-on-say)
Verb
1. To be the greatest of all time
2. To slay on all facets of life
3. To do the damn tings

e.g "I shall Beyonce my exams"
"I shall Beyonce that interview"
IT IS A DECLARATION!!!#Beychella

Let us recap, friends.
1. Her regal entrance
2. The fringe boots
3. Her voice, on point, for all TWO HOURS of her concert
4. Renaming that dusty lil festival Beychella
5. First black woman to headline Beychella, and how she told them about themselves.

Mhhhhhm I am out here thinking...imagine if the world did not have Beyoncé. A woman who exudes so much peace into the world by just being on stage. A woman who keeps making history by her visuals and voice. Imagine we did not be part of Beyoncé era, thank God for Bey #BEYCHELLA pic.twitter.com/q8iWQYkC5m

Beyoncé brought black musicians, dancers, her man, sister and best friends onstage to get paid. When Beyoncé eats everybody eats too. Can all black folks support each other like this too? #Beychella
