I’ll admit, it’s been a while since Beyoncé’s performance at Coachella opening weekend but if I’m being honest, I still think about it at least once every few hours. I don’t mean to sound dramatic but I think I could live a pretty happily if someone set me up in front of a screen projector for the rest of my life and just had that performance streaming 24/7. Not only was the performance visually and audibly STUNNING, it sent a message about the cultural significance of America’s historically black colleges and universities. Everything that Beyoncé did on that stage was in celebration of what it means to be unapologetically black in a country that constantly wants to ignore and severely mistreat people of color.
With all that being said, I was not the only one who felt like this about her performance. People flocked to social media before, during, and after her performance to celebrate Queen B. Below are some of the best reactions. Enjoy!
