Bow down, bitches.
No, seriously. The most recent performance by Beyoncé had us all feeling especially small and insignificant compared to the Queen herself. Bey wrapped up this year's MTV VMAs with a medley of some of her best and most recent songs and audiences across the world were completely in awe. We were, too. Here are the 29 most memorable moments that made us lose our s--t.
1. When Beyoncé awakened and also awakened our hearts and souls.
2. Her backup dancers awakened and we witnessed one of the most artistic Beyoncé experiences known to man.
3. Bey did this little kick and inspired women across the globe to get hip hop dance-educated.
4. "Welcome to my world." THANK YOU, BEYONCÉ. THANK YOU.
5. She didn't say it directly, but with her eyes: Bow down.
6. Yet again, we found ourselves wishing we could dance.
7. Because one Beyoncé is never enough.
8. When she sang "Jealous" and admitted, "I'm just human." We shed a tear.
9. A Queen Bey-inspired rainbow appeared and we were in awe.
10. THIS GIGGLE. Will us mere mortals ever look this good while simply chuckling? Probably not.
11. Those booties covered in glitter. That choreography.
12. And all the booties gyrated in unison.
13. She invited us all to join her. WHEN THE QUEEN SUMMONS YOU, YOU OBEY.
14. And Jay Z looked at Blue Ivy with loving eyes, while a very pregnant Kelly Rowland bopped around next to them, with her hair lookin' like a shower cap or something.
15. Everyone was like, "IT'S HAPPENING."
16. THE SIGNATURE CHAIR IS BACK. Can you even call it a chair? Has she ever just sat on it? We think not.
17. How does she do it? How?!
18. She pole-danced with complete class...
19. ...and then did some deep lunges?
20. We were all completely inspired when the conveyor belt of women passed us by as the iconic Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie speech played in the background
21. And then the Queen herself slid onto the screen, leaving us speechless.
22. For the first time in the show, Beyoncé literally tells us to bow down. And we oblige.
23. Bey asked us how we woke up and we replied, "FLAWLESS." But not with complete confidence because we have the epitome of flawless covering our TV screens.
24. (Currently signing ourselves up for dance lessons.)
25. Beyoncé sang about the infamous elevator incident, but Jay was like, "Hi, sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."
26. Beyoncé popped it...as Blue Ivy looked on...
27. Videos of Blue played in the background while Bey sang her Blue-inspired song. We actually cried.
28. She told Blue to hold onto her and we continued to sob.
29. Speechless. We're speechless. The whole are-they, aren't-they rumors about B and J don't matter in this moment.
Thank you, Bey, for giving us the gift of your presence.
