15 Receipts That Prove Beyoncé Is Queen

You don't have to like her, but you will respect her.

Many things are debatable in this thing called life, but Beyoncé's star power is not one of them.

Her live performances change lives.

She slays on the red carpet.

And she's pretty much killing this whole life thing in general.

But don't just take my word for it. Here are all the times she's made history:

1. When she had the fastest-selling album on iTunes in 2013.

2. When she became the highest-paid black artist of all time.

3. When she became the first woman to win six Grammys in one night.

4. When she became the most-nominated woman in Grammy history.

5. When she officially became last decade's top-selling artist.

6. When she and her hubby became the first billion-dollar couple in the music industry.

7. When she was the first black singer to be on the September cover of Vogue.

8. When she became the first black female artist and second woman ever to win the annual ASCAP Pop Songwriter of the Year Award.

9. When she became the first woman in history to hit No. 1 with her first five studio albums.

10. When she became the first black singer and the second black woman to cover Sports Illustrated.

11. When she inked the highest-paid endorsement deal ever signed to a black woman.

12. When she was the first black woman to perform at both a presidential inaugural ball and ceremony.

13. When she was the first solo female artist to headline the main pyramid stage at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival in 20 years.

14. When she was the first female artist to receive the International Artist Award of Excellence at the American Music Awards.

15. When she was the first black artist to have a No. 1 single (”Check on It”), a No. 1 film (The Pink Panther), and win a Grammy in the same week.

Moral of the story? Never trust someone who doesn't respect Beyoncé.
