This GIF does. not. compare. to seeing the real thing right before your eyes.
She ****ing killed it tonight. Seeing Beyonce Knowles-Carter, in the flesh, pop out of the stage floor as huge balls of fire burst into the air ALONE
>. The dancers >>>. The lighting >>>. The interludes >>>. The new live arrangements of "If I Were a Boy" and "1+1" and "Speechless" and "Irreplaceable" and "Single Ladies" >>> (IIWAB especially - I think she was actually singing the lyrics over an entirely different song). EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GOD DAMN OPENING >>>>>>. The way she fist-pumped as she awkwardly flew back to the main stage at the end of "Survivor" like she was some kind of villain making an escape.

EVERYTHING about "Why Don't You Love Me?" >>>. "Halo" vocals live >>>>.
I can feeeeeeel iiitt.
Good LORD that show was amazing.
