Beyonce's Lemonade: An Emotional Rollercoaster in GIFs
Buckle up!
Beyonce changed the definition of lemonade from a sugary drink to the most epic album drop of all time on Saturday night.
Lemonade, the title of Beyonce's sixth studio album and corresponding HBO special, turned out to be a stunning tour through the personal trials, tribulations and triumphs of Beyonce Knowles Carter. In the span of an hour, she simultaneously lit her husband Jay-Z's dirty laundry on fire, reconciled her embedded insecurities from her father, and created a black female power anthem, leaving the collective Beyhive's jaws on the floor. Then she surprise-released the full visual album and tracks exclusively on Tidal, Jay-Z's music platform, for the final mic drop.

It went a little something like this (Warning: strong language ahead):
We're ready for the deep dive, Bey.

Wait, did you just say Jay cheated? Let us pray.

And then get real about it.
(via)
Really real about it.
(via)
Bey is letting everything out.
(via)
This is not a woman to be trifled with.

Is she divorcing Jay-Z via HBO special? Damn.

Then Serena Williams arrives to help with the special delivery.

And Bey is not sorry for a single second of any of this.
(via)
She's burning the whole thing down.

Then she also calls out her dad, and every man who has cheated on his wife.
(via)
But Bey has the power to forgive.
(via)
Because love is real, even if it isn't perfect.
(via)
Forgiveness doesn't mean weakness though.
(via)
Lemonade is power.
(via)
Black female power, to be precise. ('Sup Zendaya and Amandla Stenberg)
