Queen Bey has another devotee.

Anne Hathaway has been slowly but surely resurfacing on Instagram since welcoming her first child with husband Adam Shulman. Last week she posted a selfie in honor of Earth Day and late Tuesday she posted a selfie video to pay homage to Beyoncé and her latest project Lemonade.

Wearing oversized sunglasses and a collared shirt, the Oscar winner stares at the camera as Bey's "Halo" begins to play. As soon as the beat drops, Hathaway raises her hand and reveals the "B" written on it. She bows her head and hand before making a gesture that indicates her mind is blown by the new album.

"Respect beyond respect. @Beyonce just changed so many games. Queen just became an Empress. Chills all over. #LEMONADE," she captioned the pic. She also included a series of lemon emojis and yellow hearts.

There was a collective jaw drop around the world when Beyoncé dropped Lemonade, seemingly raising the curtain on her marital issues with husband Jay Z. Explosive lyrics such as "Call Becky with the good hair" and "I regret the night I put that ring on" have led most listeners and critics to believe the star is shedding a light on her husband's alleged straying.

The Beyhive immediately took to Rachel Roy's Instagram account to accuse her of philandering with the rapper, but she denied the claims. Rita Ora also faced the wrath of Beyoncé's fanbase, and she, too, denied the rumors on Twitter. "I never usually address tabloid gossip but let me be clear, the rumors are false," wrote Ora. "I have nothing but the utmost respect for Beyonce. Let's continue enjoying Lemonade."

Jay Z and Beyoncé were spotted together for the first time Tuesday since Lemonade dropped, and a source told E! News that the once troubled couple are doing better. "Things seem to be going well with the two of them. When only a few people were around, Jay showed some affection [toward] Beyoncé. He put his hand around her and gave her a big hug," the source shared with us. "He is giving her space though to rehearse and coming and going, but still showing her that he is by her side. He will be with her for many of her concerts."

If Hathaway has her way, she'll most likely be there, too.
