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.
