In the early ages, monarchs were believed to have a divine right to the throne, meaning that their authority as king or queen originated from some sacred force above. They ruled by the power of the gods and their followers took the leader’s words as the words of the gods themselves. Eventually, this belief faded away, but with a bit of observation, we can see that there is one individual who is clearly meant to be Queen of the World, and anybody who denies this is denying some divine agenda.

As a planet, we celebrate her external and internal beauty each time she struts on stage or strides in front of a camera. Some know her as Mrs. Carter, others refer to her as Bey or Sasha Fierce -- some already call her Queen B, but all recognize (and tremble) at the name Beyoncé.

Throughout her years in fame, all nations have felt her power, her royalty, her divinity -- and though not all admit it out loud, everyone knows that it is her destiny to be the acclaimed Queen of the World. Without further ado, here are 12 times (out of the infinite) that Beyoncé has proved her divine right to this planet’s throne:

1. That time she became the most Grammy nominated woman in history:

In 2014, both Dolly Parton and Beyoncé were tied for 46 Grammy nominations, but in December of that same year, her album "Beyoncé" got nominated and she surpassed Parton. It’s no surprise when you consider Beyoncé’s immense talent as a singer. She creates so much harmony with her voice, and if she can do it vocally, she could probably do it as Queen of the World too. She now has 53 total nominations and she has won 20!

2. When she sleighed at her first Super Bowl Performance:

As any sensible person knows, Beyoncé was the true winner of Super Bowl XLVII. The records indicate that the Ravens were victorious, but I think the general population can actually agree that Bey took home the trophy. She proudly danced around flames and sang with cadence to songs like "Single Ladies" -- not to mention that she also reunited with Destiny’s Child, the musical group that propelled her music career in the beginning -- proving that she has a beautiful presence in front of large crowds. Being able to flawlessly perform in front of the nation is a skill that only a true queen possesses.

3. Her second Super Bowl Performance too:

Alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars, Beyoncé strut on stage and shamelessly spread a message of love for all. The rainbow placards suggest that the performance was a tribute to the LGBTQ+ community and her (as well as her dancer’s) outfits were Black Panther-themed, which suggests that it was also a tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement. She explicitly advocates for minorities and that is a quality that any political leader should have. A queen who believes that everyone deserves love is a queen who I would happily follow. She puts love on top, am I right?

4. When we first met her daughter:

After you’ve finished tearing up at this absolutely adorable picture of Blue Ivy and Mama Yoncé, I’ll explain why this proves Beyoncé’s Queenhood. Sources say that Beyoncé did not sell the newborn pictures to a magazine. Instead, her and Jay Z posted the pictures on a blog themselves; she did not capitalize on the birth of her daughter. Rather, she lovingly shared the pictures herself, knowing that it would bring joy to the world. Likewise, as Queen, Beyoncé would be like the mother of us all, and we could take comfort in the fact that she would not capitalize on her motherhood over the world. Side note: She looks flawless even when she’s in a hospital bed.

5. In this funny (but accurate) vine:

6. That time she stood up for her mental health:

In 2012, she took a nine-month career break because she needed some time for herself. This illustrates that she understands the importance of mental health, and this world needs someone who understands that people need to take care of themselves sometimes. We aren’t perfect, and Queen Yoncé understands that.

7. Every time she Instagrams:

Her Insta feed is as flawless as she is. If you don’t already follow her, you should be ashamed of yourself, but fear not! The should-be-queen is forgiving, and if you go follow her now, she will show you mercy when she officially achieves the title of queen.

8. When she played Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers in Goldmember

“You under arrest sugar!” Yoncé has some justice embedded in her personality, and this hilarious role proved that! A just queen is a good queen. She even sings “I don’t know much about fighting, but I know I will fight for you,” in her song "1+1." I mean, come on! That could be her campaign slogan. This wonderful woman belongs in the throne.

9. Remember when she was on the Sports Illustrated magazine?

According to Frank Lovece, “she became the first non-model and non-athlete on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue,” in 2007. This woman has many talents, and she’s not afraid to try new things. A person who is comfortable with unfamiliar things belongs in a position of power!

10. Also, remember when she empowered women (in all of her songs) but specifically in "Run the World (Girls)"?:

Not only does Beyoncé promote feminine power through these lyrics and the music video, but she also hints at her innate ability to form a nation of endless power. We need an openly feminist woman to take control and advocate for equality in all genders. Beyoncé knows, and we know, that she can absolutely do this.

11. When she dropped the "Formation" video out of nowhere:

Beyoncé shamelessly celebrated her color with one of her greatest music videos ever. Regardless of the controversy that she knew would ensue from the video, she released it a few days before Super Bowl 50. Many call it anti-cop or pro-violence, but it’s art- art that promotes humanity in police officers and equality for people of color! It’s no secret or question that the justice system has some aspects of institutionalized racism, and Beyoncé is advocating for that to come to an end. She wants a fair system, and that’s something that any leader should possess. If you haven’t seen the video yet, here is the link.

12. When she prompted the Oxford Dictionary to make “bootylicious” an actual word:

In 2001, Destiny’s Child released a song called "Bootylicious," and although the group did not invent the word, they did make it famous. In 2006, Oxford finally added the sacred word to their dictionary. The definition is: “(Of a woman) sexually attractive.” A queen doesn’t have to be bootylicious (but I think we can all agree that Queen B is). However, a leader’s words do have to be revered, and I do believe that many keep her lyrics close to their heart. By inspiring Oxford to make this addition to their dictionary, she illustrated just how respected her words are.

In conclusion, Beyoncé has proven her queenship time and time again. She flawlessly performs and speaks in front of large crowds constantly, and her public presence is celebrated. She unashamedly advocates for equality across gender, race and sexuality, she desires a system that reflects her beliefs of equality and she too believes in the power of love. I might just be "Crazy in Love" with her, but I believe that the whole nation sees how "Flawless" and "Irreplaceable" our queen is. She is sovereign, and in the words of the queen herself, "Bow down bitches."
