Beyonce’s stage impact is out of this world. We’re talking about the woman who kept slaying a live show with a bleeding ear injury, insisted on finishing a concert during a lightning storm, and danced her heart out at the 2011 VMAs while pregnant with her first child with Jay-Z, Blue Ivy Carter. She even belted out a song without missing a beat while her hair was stuck in a fan. And as if her 2011 baby bump reveal performance wasn’t enough, she sang live on a chair tipping 45 degrees backward while pregnant with her twins Sir and Rumi Carter — giving us life while risking hers.
The 28-time Grammy winner is hands-down one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Even before these iconic solo acts, Beyonce was already turning heads as a member of the originally 4-girl group, Destiny’s Child. She’s always killed it on stage. As a matter of fact, there was a time when she had literally taken Terrence Howard’s breath away. Until now, fans can’t stop talking about it. It was 16 years ago yet the YouTube clip of that moment still gets comments to this day, pointing out the Empire actor’s hilarious reaction to Queen Bey’s presence. Here’s what really happened.
