Coachella is no more, it’s now BeyChella.
Fanning the flames Beyoncé left behind on the Coachella stage on Saturday night, the internet was fire immediately afterwards – seriously, go and check for yourself.
The number one trending topic on social media, Beyoncé slayed the California festival so much so that fans are now calling for it to be renamed ‘BeyChella’.
Bey made good on her promise that she would make up for cancelling last year’s headline spot due to being pregnant with the twins.
So what did her performance bring this year?
As expected, JAY-Z was in the house.

One of the biggest moments came when Beyoncé brought out her Destiny’s Child bandmates to do a medley of the group’s biggest hits, including ‘Soldier’, ‘Lose My Breath’, and ‘Say My Name’.

Add to this the explosive choreography and four costume changes and you’ve got one hell of a show. After the two hour performance, many are now calling Beyoncé “the greatest entertainer of our generation”.
Her set included the hits: ‘Crazy In Love’, ‘Formation’, ‘Drunk In Love’, ‘Diva’, ‘Flawless’, ‘Check On It’, ‘Dé Ja Vu’, ‘Cater To You’, ‘Who Run the World’ and of course, ‘Single Ladies’.
