BEYONCE!

Guys... Today is the day! I'm off to see Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally can't believe this. I have waited so  long for this moment. Beyonce's music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My earliest memory of listening to her is my mum playing 'Crazy in Love' at my old, old house when I was...what, seven maybe? Basically, I don't remember ever not  listening to (and loving) Beyonce's music!  When she went on her last world tour, I was so excited. Finally, with my o2 priority, I'd have a good chance at getting tickets to see the goddess herself! I managed to get in the queue, get tickets- but I was in a group of three friends, and I could only get two tickets. Neither of them wanted to come without the other and so I gave up the tickets.

However, the people who share these meme's forget one teeny, tiny detail... ...

Of course you knew it was coming- a blog post on my one true love, Beyonce, and her visual album 'Lemonade'. I had basically watched it on launch day via people's streams of tweets but unfortunately, without HBO, I couldn't really  watch...so I wanted to wait until I'd experienced it in all of it's glory before writing about it for you guys. Well. I have one word for you all. Wow. That is literally all that I can say. We moaned at Beyonce via social media, we complained about the fact she was taking her sweet time to bring out more music for us, but I can absolutely forgive her now because the wait was 100% worth it. It is an absolute masterpiece from the lyrics, to the melodies, the political messages, the strong story line running throughout the visuals that tie the songs together...I just physically can't put into words how incredible it is.  Beyonce touches on some hugely  important issues surrounding police brutality and racism, parti...
