As it would turn out, one of the best moments from last night’s Grammy Awards was one you wouldn’t have caught if you watched the award show on television. Allow me to explain: if you’re anything like me, you’re in awe of pretty much everything Beyoncé does — and her appearance at the 2018 Grammys in a gorgeous, sculptural black dress, beret and fishnet tights was absolutely no exception. (And it actually turned out to be one of *three* outfits she wore throughout the night.)
With all this in mind, it’s basically no surprise that Queen Bey’s Instagram followers found an amazing detail in one of the photos she posted from the evening. In the photo, as she and Jay-Z strut ~flawlessly~ by on their way to the awards show, a woman in the background can be seen visibly literally gasping at the sight of Beyoncé.

Of course, because this unknown woman is all of us re: any and every Beyoncé sighting ever, the Internet didn’t take long to transform the photo into a meme that properly describes all of our feelings about the Queen.

Seriously, there’s no way Bey didn’t know what she was doing when she was posting this now-iconic photo:
LMAOO this has me weak cause she could’ve easily cropped that woman out but she said “NO. I AM BEYONCÉ. WATCH HOW THE PEASANTS LOOK AT ME” pic.twitter.com/W2Mb7MooSs

No word yet on who this anonymous hero is, but I’d just like to personally thank her for providing us with what is already probably one of the best memes of 2018.
