A running meme on Twitter is how late Beyonce released the album, and how eager fans are going to lose sleep listening to it. “Imma finish this whole documentary [and album], study, and then get up in a few hours for work and handle my business WITHOUT complaining because that’s what Beyoncé would want me to do,” one user wrote. Another tweeted out: “I’m up here watching Beychella– I forgot I have work in 5 hours.”
Others focused on the impressiveness of Beyonce’s performance. Several memes were used to convey awe at how she managed to drop a documentary and a live album without anybody knowing. “This further proves why Bey is the absolute best,” tweeted an eager fan. “She deserves to be loved and celebrated this much. She works and works and she earned everything she’s ever gotten. Ever since we were kids, we knew she was the one.”
