After nearly two hours of the VMAs — aka the longest preshow ever— Beyoncé finally took the stage.
And the internet LIT-ER-ALLY exploded.
Because the world could not handle all that was happening before it.
BEYONCÉ HAD ME LIKE
Real tears were shed.
Brb crying bc Beyoncé slayed me so hard I can't breath
I'm crying, naked, shaking,and covered in someone else's blood after beyonce's performance.
MY SELF ESTEEM IS ON THE FLOOR BC BEYONCE IM CRYING
People were having respiratory problems.
Actually can't breath someone call 911 cause of Beyoncé
Literally someone get me an oxygen tank I can't breathe because of beyonce
Some people died.


RIP them.
I don't have the energy yo walk yo the bathroom I literally died after beyonce
Basically, the medley of Beyoncé-ography was too much for folks to handle. Prayers were said.

Beyoncé's performance had me like
When every song transitioned:
My body is ready.
When Blue Ivy did anything/existed:
blue ivy is two years old and has already slayed my entire existence
When Beyoncé cried onstage with her family:
BEYONCE'S CRYING SOMEONE BOTTLE UP THOSE TEARS AND USE IT TO CLEAR ACNE

WHEN BEYONCÉ DOES ANYTHING:
Beyoncé could throw up on stage and it will still be flawless.
beyonce could throw a brick at me and I would thank her
BECAUSE BEYONCÉ LIVES, AND WE ARE ALL PLEBEIAN ANTS CRAWLING BENEATH HER SUPREMACY.
Beyoncé is everything. I am nothing. I will never be anything. I can only strive knowing ultimately I will fail.
