My Top 10 Beyoncé Moments In Honor of Beyday

Instagram

Beyoncé has blessed us throughout her multiple decades as performer. We've gotten iconic music videos, legendary pregnancy reveals, pure emotions and so much more. The Houston native will forever be one of my favorite icons, so here's my top 10 favorite Beyoncé moments.

'Dreamgirls'

Dreamgirls has remained one of my favorite movies despite being released when I was 6 years old, 13 years ago. The vocals, the acting, the performance- amazing.

Recommended song: “Listen” by Beyoncé

Singing for the Obamas

For the Obama's inaugural dance in 2009, Beyoncé DELIVERED. She covered 'At Last' originally performed by Etta James, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Recommended song: “At Last” covered by Beyoncé.

Pregnancy reveal via VMAs

Beyoncé revealed she was pregnant with Blue in 2011, at the VMAs. She opens with "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me" and ends by popping her blazer open to reveal the precious baby bump.

Recommended song: “Blue” by Beyoncé

'I Was Here' at UN

This performance in 2012 was nothing short of perfection. The vocals were beautiful and made 'I Was Here' one of my favorite songs to this day.

Self-titled album drop

Giphy

In 2013, "you know where you were when that digital drop." I was on my way to school back in 8th grade! Literally how crazy. The iconic self-titled album marked a turning point in Beyoncé's career.

Recommended song: “Superpower” by Beyoncé ft. Frank Ocean

Lemonade

Lemonade was extremely powerful. Beyoncé came back from going off the map and she came back so strong in 2016. Every single song was incredible, and like the previous album, it was a visual one.

Recommended song: “Sandcastles” by Beyoncé

Pregnancy reveal via Instagram

This was another iconic reveal in 2017, no one was expecting it because once again Beyoncé went MIA. The photoshoot was pure beauty, and the photos with the twins was stunning.

Recommended song: “LOVEHAPPY” by Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Coachella/Homecoming

Coachella (2018) was one of Beyoncé's most powerful performances. She was the first black woman to ever headline Coachella and she was not shy about it. She made it HBCU themed and made a documentary from it (2019). I even wrote about it earlier this year!

Recommended song: “Before I Let Go” cover by Beyoncé

OTRII Tour

This one is truly special for me because it was the first time I saw Beyoncé perform live in 2018 and I almost blacked out because I was so overwhelmed. I had amazing seats and of course the Carters always do an amazing job.

Recommended song: “Young Forever” (live) by Jay-Z and Beyoncé

'The Lion King'

Beyoncé was the voice of Nala in the live action version of 'The Lion King' (2019) and as to be expected she did an amazing job. Not only was she a voice actress, but she produced an entire album to be released with the movie.

Recommended song: “Brown Skin Girl” by Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, SAINt JHN, Wizkid

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
