This week Beyoncé showed that she didn’t just wake up flawless and ready for her performance. Mrs. Carter broke the internet with the release of her Neflix documentary ‘Homecoming,’ which showcases the grueling 8 month preparation for her ground-breaking and heartfelt performance. The queen was the first black woman to headline the festival and the performance also marked her return to the stage after giving birth to twins Rumi and Sir Carter. Both milestones set the bar for what the media and the Beehive quickly coined as Beychella. With all of this at stake, Queen B got on her ‘A’ game to remind us why she fucks it up and then leaves, comes back, fucks it up and leaves again.

Beyoncé created her own homecoming for the theme of her record breaking performance. Her team of “characters,” as she called them, consisted of singers, dancers, an orchestra, live band, drum-line, steppers and a baton twirler. Let’s also not forget her day-1 teammates,which included her sister Solonage, her Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and her soulmate and life partner Jay-Z. Instead of focusing on her business, the superstar built a team. She constructed a platform for creatives to showcase their art and she created a community that shared an experience they will never forget.

The queen resurrected her performance a year later, making herself and Beychella a trending topic on the internet for a second year in a row. She also produced a new body of work that she dropped with the documentary, her 40-track live album from the event. So not only did she bring back her history making performance, but she also gave us her very own live greatest hits album from the show. Oh and let’s not forget that she dropped a bonus track, “Before I Let Go,” her own rendition of the hit from Frankie Beverly and Maze with a touch of Cameo’s song “Candy”. I can already predict this love letter for the black culture will be played at all the summer cookouts and that it will become the new electric slide for the Millennial generation.

Beyoncé’s brand has always represented female empowerment. The documentary allows women to identify with the queen as a career woman who balances being a wife and mother. Beychella was the first time she returned to the stage after giving birth and the Netflix film revealed that B had a tough pregnancy with the twins (high blood pressure and preeclampsia), which resulted in an emergency c-section. The singer gets vulnerable with viewers stating, “A lot of the choreography is not technical, it’s about feelings. And that’s hard when you don’t feel like yourself. I had to rebuild my body from cut muscles. It took me awhile to feel confident enough to freak it and give it my own personality. In the beginning it was so many muscle spasms. Just internally, my body was not connected…My mind wanted to be with my children. What people don’t see is the sacrifice. I would dance and go off to the trailer and breasted the babies. And the days I could, I would bring the children.”
