Motion to rename the 2016 MTV VMAs the Beyonce Show?
Not only did Queen B dominate the white carpet with Blue Ivy as her date and the mothers of the #BlackLivesMatter movement by her side, she’s nominated for 11 awards – the most she’s ever earned in a single year – and literally just *destroyed* a surprise medley performance of ‘Lemonade’.
Serena Williams, who starred in Beyoncé’s ‘Sorry’ music vid, introduced her talented m8 before the stage filled with blue smoke and she stalked out to the opening poem from the visual album.
First up was ‘Pray You Catch Me’, then ‘Hold Up’, then we lost track BECAUSE IT WAS SO FKN EPIC.
Things got so lit that, at one point, she swung a baseball bat into a camera live-broadcasting her performance.
Oh, she did that. ?? #VMAs https://t.co/Vo8nMuquhM

It went on and on and on and on, ending with ‘Formation’ and her dancers literally forming the symbol for ‘woman’ with their bodies.
And she closes on the symbol for WOMAN. #Beyonce #VMAs pic.twitter.com/3DVAlKQKYp

Cue rapturous applause and a standing ovation.
Here’s a snippet of her performance to get ya wet, and we’ll post the full thing as soon as we can get our grabby hands on it.

Did we mention she’s now officially the most awarded artist in VMA history after taking home ‘Best Female Video’?
It’s Bey’s world: we just live in it.
