Beyoncé unleashed a surprise Destiny’s Child reunion on an unsuspecting Coachella crowd, and Twitter basically lost it
We don’t think you’re ready for this jelly. With Beyoncé headlining at Coachella this year, it was more than expected that the internet would have a freakout at some point. However, Beyoncé orchestrated a surprise reunion with Destiny’s Child during her performance at the music festival — the group’s first time singing together since the Stellar Gospel Music Awards in 2015 — and Twitter essentially self-combusted in response.
Beyoncé headlined the second night of Coachella’s opening weekend, and the internet was ready for it. Nearly half a million people livestreamed her set on YouTube, and #Beychella already dominated social media on its own. But after an hour of performing a medley of some of her biggest songs — and sharing the stage with a marching band and husband Jay-Z — that’s when it happened.
Some may even call it destiny.
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams appeared onstage alongside their former bandmate, and pretty much no one on Earth could contain their excitement. We can’t lie, we still have goosebumps.
The trio performed a medley of some of their most popular hits, including songs like “Lose My Breath,” “Say My Name,” and “Soldier.” It was nothing short of incredible, and we’re so grateful to the internet for immortalizing this forever since we weren’t there to see it in person.

Queen Bey has spoken, and you *know* the world listened.
TBH, her entire performance might have been one of our favorite moments of 2018 so far. And, thankfully, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are going on tour in a few months, so we can get our Bey-fix in person (if we’re lucky).
