When Beyoncé surprise-dropped her new "Formation" music video back in February, we knew a storm was brewing. Every single diehard Beyoncé fan became an anxious mess, longing for an official album announcement. Just when we thought we had reached our breaking point, the pop star teased a little something called Lemonade. Lemonade was set to air on HBO in the final days of April, but we didn't really know what it was until it arrived. Now, we're hyperventilating over all the celebrity cameos, the meaning of the title, and all those fierce, fierce moments.
Lights. Camera. Action.
Metaphorical significance: this storm is Beyoncé, coming forth to wreck all our lives.
You take that hood off, girl. Damn.
How. How?
Like, Beyoncé even drowns flawlessly.
Can't think of a better place for some self-reflection, you know?
Only Beyoncé could cause literal explosions by merely unleashing her runway walk.
We should all be more like Beyoncé when our lives are falling apart.
So many lives were ended in this moment. Praise Bey.
Release that water, Bey! Release it!!
Is there any way we can enter every single room like this from now on?
When Bey gets angry, we get angry.
Even when Beyoncé is evidently judging the sh*t out of us, we accept it with gratitude.
Beyoncé does not catch keys. Keys just fly into her hands without invitation. That's some Harry Potter "accio keys" sh*t if we've ever seen it.
It's like staring into the sun.
Dead.
Admit it: you've definitely sat fully clothed in a bathtub at some point. We all have.
TELL 'EM, BEY.
In this shot, Beyoncé is probably ascending to heaven, where her new album has been safely stored away. Thank you for the lemonade, Bey.
Like, we've all been on weird bus rides, right? While this one might take the cake, we'd still buy a ticket, you feel?
We have no idea who it is, but this diva lives in a castle and came to slay, b*tch.
All it takes is one direct look from Beyoncé and your skin will clear up and your hair will shine brighter than it has in years, or your whole life.
