Last week, the queen herself--Beyoncé Giselle Knowles--performed at Coachella. Bey slayed Coachella with her superb performance and snatched each and every one of our edges. If you aren’t a woman of color, then your baby hairs. Your baby hairs left earth and disappeared after Beyoncé’s performance last weekend.

Let me give you a glimpse into the past and take a brief moment to remember when I first set my young eyes on Beyoncé. At the ripe age of seven years old, I watched “Dreamgirls”; if you haven’t seen the movie, “Dreamgirls," I’m sorry. “Dreamgirls” woke me up from the dreadful years of my life when I wasn’t listening to Beyoncé and fundamentally changed me.

After “Dreamgirls," I became literally obsessed. Her vocals were astonishing. I never heard anyone sing and perform as well as my queen Beyoncé did. “How is she real?” is all I could say as a small child. I remember singing along to “Irreplaceable” as a tween and screeching the high notes, giving my flop-worthy performance as the star within me was shining through.

Every night as a child, I would lay in bed and dream of the day I would finally see the queen B. At 18 years old, I had the chance to see Beyoncé perform live at TCF Bank Stadium, and all my childhood dreams came to life. Beyoncé’s performance changed me and I thank the queen for that. At that concert, I was shaking the booty that God didn’t give me and also crying within, so as to not embarrass myself by outwardly crying. She met every expectation I ever had and I was so happy, I couldn’t stop smiling for days.

I sadly wasn’t able to attend Coachella last week because being a poor college student is an actual job. That being said, I watched every video online relating to her performance. My jaw dropped in absolute awe. Beyoncé is the slay master, the queen; forget about Coachella, it was Beychella this year. Beyoncé looked like a ray of sunshine with her flattering hooded crop top. This woman is 36 years old with three children and her body is unimaginable. She’s the definition of body goals, and I dream to look as good as Beyoncé in life.

Shockingly, Beyoncé brought out the lovely ladies of Destiny’s Child and performed one of their song's for the audience. If I was at Coachella, I would be found on the ground crying to the beautiful harmonies of “Say My Name." Beyoncé performed her new hits and old hits, allowing me to twerk in my bedroom to the classic and current jams. Beyoncé grabbed my torn soul and held it in her hands while I watched her wonderful Coachella performance.

Thank you, Beyoncé, for performing at Coachella, even changing your outfit several times during your set and still slaying. I wasn’t physically present at Coachella, but in spirit, I was dancing in a field of crowded individual's to “Crazy In Love." Thank you, Beyoncé for slaying Coachella like we all expected and bringing back Destiny’s Child for the performance. Beyoncé, one day I’ll meet you and it’ll be the best day of my life, but for now, I will watch all of your live performances and cry from pure joy.
