The MTV VMAs may have just had what will be remembered as a historic moment: the day Beyonce basically gave the performance of all performances.
She performed a Lemonade medley that had everything from fire, to her swinging a baseball bat and her strutting in a fur coat like a boss.
Tennis star Serena Williams introduced Beyonce.
The Single Ladies singer arrived at the awards show with her four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement, including Sybrina Fulton, the mother of murdered teenager Trayvon Martin.
Here are some highlights and reactions to her performance:
Bey smashed the camera screen with a baseball bat. No one else could do that and get away with it.
We’re pretty sure this is how the conversation went…
And then there was Becky With The Good Hair…
Forget Beyonce or Queen Bey, she shall now be known as Slayonce…
The ending of the song and the symbolic meaning did not go unnoticed…
People pretty much felt the awards were OVER after that, because how could you top that?
She just cannot do any wrong…
All hail Queen Bey.
