Surprise release Beyonce was an instant classic, yet somehow, follow-up Lemonade was considered an improvement. Even Better Sequel: The common belief in the fandom is that Beyonce just keeps invoking this trope again and again.

During a 2009 concert, Beyoncé stopped "Single Ladies" halfway through to introduce a fan in the audience, who then proposed to his girlfriend.

And her 2016 VMA performance, which Billboard ranked as the best award show performance in history.

Her 2014 MTV Video Music Awards performance, which covered nearly the entirety of her BEYONCÉ album.

Her 2013 Super Bowl performance, featuring a medley of her first four albums and a surprise appearance by Destiny's Child.

Crowning Moment Of Awesome: When Beyonce won Best Music Video, she called up Taylor Swift to finish the speech Kanye West had interrupted.

She's a deity to the Beyhive, who regularly put her above basically anything else happening in music.

Creator Worship: There's probably no singer today that has a more stringently devoted following.

Even members of the Beyhive have mixed opinions about her acting ability. Some think she's a fine actress while others think she should really stick to singing.

Two years later at the 59th Grammys, this time with Lemonade, an album many critics consider her best to date and one of the best albums of the year.Other reactions were mixed (with most mainstream media saying it's an egregious snub, while other music fans feel Beck is a far stronger artist overall) In the 57th Grammy Awards, BEYONCÉ was nominated for Album of the Year, but the award went to Beck's Morning Phase.Though, given BEYONCÉ's more experimental sound, the complete lack of promotion before its release, and the relatively less impressive performance of her previous album 4, it would have been understandable for her to lack faith in the album's commercial viability. On "Ghost/Haunted", she ad-libs, "Probably won't make no money off this.oh well." She was proven very wrong as besides the album's rave reviews, cultural impact and popularizing of the "surprise albums" in the music industry, the album also had massive sales. And You Thought It Would Fail: Apparently, Beyoncé herself in regards to her self-titled album.
