…And this is how you give a comeback performance! Beyonce is BACK and badder than ever before. Queen Bey made history at Coachella Beychella on Saturday, becoming the first Black woman to headline the music festival.
You may recall that Bey was supposed to headline last year’s festival, but canceled due to doctor’s orders, because she was pregnant with twins (Sir and Rumi Carter) at the time. Her performance was so worth the wait! And gosh Bey’s post-pregnancy snapback game is out of this world. We need her to show us the way.
Okay, so in case you don’t know what “Coachella” is girls, Wikipedia and Google are your friends: The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. The event features musical artists from many genres of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures.
So back to the matter: Beyonce’s performance. It was two hours long. Two whole hours of amazing performances back-to-back. Her hubby, Jay-Z and sister, Solange made appearances.
But most importantly, there was a Destiny’s Child reunion! This was by far our favourite part of the entire performance.

Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland looked and sounded great but we think it would have been even more epic if original band members Letoya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson were added to the mix. Now, THAT would have been THE reunion of a lifetime.
Here are other highlights we loved:
- “Crazy in Love” performance in which she was accompanied by a New Orleans-style brass marching band. It was a fresh take on the song
- The step dancers during her performance of songs on the “Lemonade” album. EPIC
- Nina Simone tribute and Malcolm X Quotes
- When Beyonce and her band paid homage to Fela Kuti
Beyoncé and Jay-Z will kick off their joint “On the Run II” tour this summer, and we can’t wait.
