Beyonce Coachella First Black Woman Headliner

Beyoncé TURNED Coachella out on Saturday night!!!

The first Black woman to ever headline the coveted concert series blessed us mere mortals with a stunning performance that was #BlackGirlMagic meets HBCU homecoming…and we were LIVING!

That, and she brought out Jay-Z, Solange and Destiny’s Child to help sing some of her classic songs in this historic 26-song set. Not to mention, her amazing wardrobe was custom made by Balmain!

According to CNN, for nearly two hours, Beyoncé revealed surprise after surprise, which included a tribute to Nina Simone and quotes from Malcolm X. And as expected, she came out like an African Queen:

Beyoncé gave us one of the best performances in history.

I’m just hoping I don’t see a bunch of white folks running around in vintage black greek paraphernalia. #BeyChella #Coachella2018
