16 Hilarious Responses to #Formation

by Chanelle Adams

 

Beyoncé released her most politically radical video in the middle of the day on Saturday with absolutely no warning. We were just going about our days completely unaware that Queen Bey was about to affirm our lives. Needless to say, none of us were ready.

When I got the news about “Formation”, I dropped everything and spent the rest of the day watching the music video on repeat next to an open tab of my Twitter TL.

 

That Beyoncé video is so black it can’t be watched, it can only be seent. #Formation

The Beyoncé/Big Freedia collaboration was too much for me to process alone. It’s not every day that your faves get together to spread the Black and queer gospel, which means that many of us were experiencing more than words could describe.”Screaming” would be an understatement for the affirmation I felt when I saw this:

And during these times of need, we need to check in with each other make sure it’s real.

Then, as if slaying us all wasn’t enough, Beyoncé took to the Super Bowl stage the next day with background dancers dressed as the Black Panthers and sang the Blackest song there ever was on national television.

Unfortunately for Red Lobster, after spending 8 hours crafting a much anticipated response to Bey’s shout out, they completely failed. But after getting that Beyoncé endorsement, they’re pretty much invincible. Or at least they are until Valentine’s Day.
