Let’s face it, we don’t have that much in common with Beyoncé. So when she does something ― anything ― we can relate to, well, it’s impossible to ignore.
Bey recently attended a private, star-studded dinner for Roc Nation exec Lenny Santiago’s birthday in Los Angeles. It’s not exactly the situation you’d expect to find common ground in ― until she proved we all read off the menu the same way.
Or do we? We’ll never know what she was actually saying in this photo, but that didn’t stop viewers from adding their own, hilarious dialogue. The meme and viral reaction, mostly driven by tweets from Black Twitter, included guesses on what she ordered (”Vegan icewater,” anyone?) and a lot of “Lemonade” references. Check out some of the LOL-worthy responses below.
