What is a LinkedIn, I don't need a LinkedIn, Beyoncé knows who I am!!

A few weeks ago, Texan YouTuber Evelyn From The Internets posted this charming Lemonade reaction video after she watched Beyoncé's opus a few weeks ago.

And then... Beyoncé played Evelyn's video onstage at her Formation World Tour concert in Texas.

Evelyn's reaction video about learning that Beyonce played her video is 5 minutes of pure joy, complete with hyperactive sprinting and two asthma attacks.

The inhaler!

The "this is how my mom and my aunties talk" accents!

Black girl nerds represent!

Lemonade is 2016's gift that keeps on giving. Beyoncé is an artist whose talent is still peaking. We're lucky to be alive right now. Seriously. And Evelyn is delightful.

I am so happy in so many ways about this.

I've never been a U2 concert but I have this fleeting memory of photos from a huuuuuge ass set a few years back with projections and platforms and lights and the whole 9-international-audience-yards vibe and all I could think about that stage and all those stages I'd seen before or've seen since was "damn if only they were putting something worth that stage on that stage"

until now

until this.

this for a hundred years and hundreds again until we forget what it was like before the world was like this.

I want to note that I've watched this five times now. It just gets better. Subscribed to Evelyn from the Internets' channel.

If Evelyn were a preacher I'd have to start going to church but thankfully she's on the Internets, just giving the truth away for free.

I get the impression that I'd really love to hang out with Evelyn.

I'm so dead at the caption for the first reaction video: "She is the enemy of edges, the nemesis of Jamaican black castor oil. "

also what a good read on The Weeknd. I hope he is okay too. Fantastic, totally deserves it.
