Beyoncé Brings 'Lemonade' to Life With Jaw-Dropping MTV VMAs Performance: Watch
Beyoncé was a last-minute addition to the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards tonight, but the star might have just stolen the much-hyped night with a show-stopping performance that celebrated her Lemonade album that utilized an army of backup dancers and what looked like the entire Madison Square Garden arena. Here's the breakdown of what happened.
After being introduced by her friend and fellow Lemonade collaborator Serena Williams, Bey opened her performance with Lemonade's intro track "Pray You Catch Me." The ballad was transformed into what some are calling a political statement as the members of Beyoncé's all-black backup dance crew were "shot" onstage until Bey herself was taken down.
