Just last week, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and talked about her somewhat botched first meeting with Beyoncé at an Oscars after-party.
She explained, "[Beyoncé] voluntarily came up to me! Like, came up to me, open face, like, 'I wanna talk to this girl. I wanna talk to her.' Me! And I was kind of like, 'Who's behind me?' And I just messed it up. She was clearly a fan, and I ruined it. I ruined it... I just was like...[makes a weird noise]. I think I started crying."
She said, "It breaks my heart how much I messed it up," and that she would love another shot at meeting her fave.
You can watch the full interview here.
Well, Emilia's luck might've just changed. Last night, the actor attended the Rockets vs. Warriors basketball game in Houston, Texas.
But guess who else was there????
Queen Bey!!!
The Rockets mascot — coffee cup in hand, mind you — spotted Emilia Clarke, first of her name, and went over to BEND THE KNEE.
🚨 THIS IS NOT A BLOOPER 🚨 The Mother of Dragons is at the #Rockets game with a coffee! @emiliaclarke | #RunAsOne
And here's Beyoncé probably laughing at the whole thing and deciding to go over to talk to Emilia.
Even if that's not ~technically~ how it went down, that didn't stop people from imagining it:
Beyoncé and Emilia Clarke are both at this GS/HOU game. Emilia gets to have a Beyoncé meet and greet do over. I love that for her.
beyonce invited emilia to the game change my mind
Emilia Clarke and Beyonce are at the Warriors-Rockets game. That's the "Game of Thrones" final battle we all deserve, frankly.
BEYONCÉ AND EMILIA CLARKE GET ME A PHOTO NOW!!!!!!! beyoncé being a dany stan... emilia clarke being a beyoncé stan... my mf rights
After seeing that Beyoncé and Daenerys were both sitting courtside at a basketball game, I’ve decided that I will like sports now
As for the game, Beyoncé's hometown team lost. But to be fair:
I, too, would lose a basketball game in front of Beyonce and Emilia Clarke
