September 4 should be known as Beyonce Day, you know why? Because that's the day our Queen was born, that's why!
On Thursday, Hollywood's most hard-working woman turned 33 years old and girl isn't letting another year slow her down at all, uh unh.
Instead, Jay Z's other (better?) half is going full steam ahead with an HBO special coming out, documenting her and Jay's incredibly successful On the Run tour.
What's coming up in the year ahead for the songstress? That we can't predict but if it's anything like year 32 (surprise album, two tours, Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, best MTV VMAS performance ever) then we're definitely in for a treat.
So, in honour of Bey's birthday, we take a look at the 33 times she made us bow down with her flawlessness.
When she made a leather jumpsuit the coolest thing to wear in the summer
When this happened
When she danced, our knees were powerless
When she posed like this and we cried
When she performed "Partition" at the MTV VMAs and we almost fainted
When she popped her booty out and our booties quaked
When she posed with all her VMA trophies like it was NBD, cause it wasn't. This is Beyonce we're talking about
When she had an impromptu photo shoot in front of a private plane
When she appeared like an angel on stage
When she thrusted her hip and we could barely take it
When she gave this fierce shoutout to Winnipeg (#CanadalovesBey)
When she was gracious with her subjects
When she allowed her dancers to try to do their best Bey imitation
When she posed on a surfbort like it ain't no thang
When she inducted us into the Beyhive
When she took a stand for feminism
When she played coy with us
When she graciously gave photographers a smile
When God spoke to Her
When she looked like a total gangster
When she stomped down the stage and our hearts skipped a beat
When she empathized with her adoring audience
When she went almost makeup-free and looked flawless
When she showed off her fierce braids while skipping out on Kanye West's wedding
When Jay Z couldn't handle the ferocity of his wife's gaze
When she... oh my God, we can't even
When she showed us her perfect behind
When she showed us there was such a thing as a Yonce cupcake
When she showed us how much she's loved by basically everyone
When she waited for the appropriate amount of applause
When she jumped this high in heels and HOW DID SHE DO THAT?
When the music overcame her and she got so emotional
When she showed off her sick dance moves
