Does Becky with the good hair even exist?
The ever enigmatic Beyoncé kicked off her Formation tour last night to thousands of adorning fans in the sold-our Miami Marlin's Park.
A stellar performance is being reported all round. Queen Bey owned the stage as she's renowned for doing, delving into her back catalogue with tracks like 'Me, Myself and I', 'Countdown', 'Freakum Dress' and 'Naughty Girl'. So extensive was her performance that she managed to belt out an astounding 37 songs, slaying each and every one as only Bey can.
Despite Lemonade only having been released on Sunday, fans sang along word-for-word to tracks like 'Sorry', '6 Inch', 'Don't Hurt Yourself', 'All Night' and 'Hold Up'. How she would handle the new album on-stage was of intense curiosity, considering the venomous lyrics and emotion Beyoncé sang about over a marriage ripped apart by infidelity. Lyrics such as 'If you try this shit again, you gon' lose your wife', 'You can watch my fat, ass twist boy, As I bounce to the next dick boy', and the infamous 'You better call Becky with the good hair' had the rumor mill going into overdrive.
Lemonade may just have been a hypothetical stern warning should Jay-Z get any ideas of playing astray. Their joint front put Jay-Z and Queen Bey firmly back in marital bliss. Before hitting the stage, Beyoncé posted a short snippet on her Instagram page with Jay-Z there for support.

She closed the show with her 2008 smash hit Halo and made a point of dedicating the love song to her rap-mogul beau; "I want to dedicate this song to my beautiful husband. I love you so much."
Well, that's that. Until the next visual album, of course! Beyoncé will grace the Croke park stage on July 9.
