I need behind-the-scenes footage of her rehearsing with those robots.

Beyoncé started her Renaissance world tour yesterday, and the reviews are in!

It's visually stunning, vocally on point, and a whole ass 3-hour show.

As with concerts nowadays, there are a few moments that are technically quite cool and also confusing to me.

I've been obsessed with Taylor Swift's stage dive since the start of her Eras Tour, and Beyoncé has a few tricks up her sleeve, too.

The second technical feat that completely baffles me is when she uses UV lights to change the color of her dress.
