Beyoncé's Formation Tour just got a little more star-studded.

And no, we're not referring to her super famous family, but rather none other than DJ Khaled. The rapper made the big announcement this morning—where else but on his Snapchat, of course. (He also reposted the big news on Instagram for his fans who aren't quite as snap-savvy). It was a...wait for it...major achievement alert, which he described as a "major milestone" in his career.

"Fan luv we did it!" he wrote. "We made it on the stage with the Queen. Get ready to feel passion, pain, success and tears of joy in a stadium near you." 

Today I proudly announce a major milestone in my career. Today's announcement is a major accomplishment in my life. In other words it's a major achievement alert!!!! I am proud to announce that I, DJ Khaled will be on tour with the icon, Beyoncé!!!!! Fan luv, when I tell you that prayer is the so powerful, please believe me.

Khaled has been working hard to provide the world with some of his, er, unique insights into life with the world, but now it seems the time has come for him to take a bit of his own advice. Nothing is a bigger deal than getting to open a Beyoncé tour, so this task must be approached with the utmost care, research and precision. So where else to look for tips than DJ Khaled's own Major Keys?

1. Almond milk. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. If you're going to hang out with Bey all day, you've got to start your morning with the most important meal of the day.

2. The Key is to weather the storm. It's gonna rain some days. That's how life is. It is what it is. In the Formation Tour's case, there are probably going to be more than a few times that fans are restless for Khaled to just get through his set to make way for Queen B. 

3. Knowing is better than learning. Make sure you have every single one of Bey's songs memorized.

4. Every conversation should start off with "This is off the record." Beyoncé doesn't ask you for an NDA, you ask Beyoncé for an NDA.

5. Be a superstar. This one is pretty obvious.

6. The key to all success is using the right soap. We're pretty sure Bey demands proper hygiene from all her come across her path.

7. Get a massage once a week bless up. Bless up, indeed.

8. Always have a fresh cut. If you're going to stand next to Queen B all day, your hair has to look perfect if you want to even try and compete.

9. Don't ever play yourself. Beyoncé will do that for you.

10. They don't want you to jet ski. Being on the Formation Tour is definitely not a time for relaxation.

11. Sometimes you get lost at sea. And by sea, we mean the depths of Beyoncé's green room.

12. Trust me. And by we, we mean Beyoncé.

13. Listerine. Don't even try to approach Bey without the freshest of breath.

14. Fan love. Always remember who gave you the opportunity to tour in Beyoncé's shadow.

15. Welch's Fruit Snacks. Nobody likes a concert opener with low blood sugar.

16. Cinnamon Toast Crunch-scented candles. You've got to keep that tour bus smelling "fresh."

17. Cocoa Butter everything. Don't even try to take the stage without a hand so moisturized it can barely hold the microphone.

18. Drink a gallon of water a day. Hydration is key to dancing like Beyoncé.

19. Have a lot of pillows. But probably not onstage, though.

20. Stay away from liars; they're liars. Like the people who said DJ Khaled would never be on the Formation Tour.
