Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour has truly been a feast for the senses, a maximalist, ballroom-inspired extravaganza full of cinematic visuals, costume changes, and Blue Ivy Carter cameos. In many ways, it’s also been the singer’s most intimate outing yet, in part because of things that haven’t gone according to plan.
Early on, Beyoncé made it clear she wanted to live in the moment during each concert. “This show is not about being perfect; this show is about enjoying your life,” she said during one performance. So instead of immediately correcting mistakes during the run, she’s embraced them.
The decision has led to a bevy of unhinged fan interactions, random outbursts, and funny reactions that would make for great bloopers in her upcoming Renaissance Tour film, which premieres Dec. 1 in theaters.
And many times when things haven’t gone as expected, her fans, aka the Beyhive, have taken it upon themselves to turn those moments into memes.
