Beyonce. VMAs. 2014. It happened. And it was long. Beyonce's epic performance mashed up a bunch of songs from her most recent album, and we dropped the partition, embraced our flawlessness, and got drunk in love for the big event. Oh, and then the camera kept panning to Jay Z holding Blue Ivy in the audience. Can you even? Can you just. Here are ten tweets that best encapsulated the experience.
“Babe, you wanna take the limo home?” “No, Jay, I'm gonna walk,” she says, striding up into the night sky

I do wish Beyoncé had done some past hits too like Justin Timberlake did last year, but shhh don't tell. I don't want to die. #VMA #VMAs

Thoughts: I'm glad everyone's discovering Jessie J! Met Iggy in an elevator and she was super nice. Every time I see Blue Ivy, I cry. #VMAs

The most shocking part of Beyonce's song Partition is how it only takes her “45 minutes to get all dressed up” #VMAs

“This one time my mom performed my favorite lullaby at the VMAs. It was cute.” – Blue Ivy

So is this the equivalent of Britney coming out and singing the entire Blackout album… I'm confused?

Blue Ivy is having a very normal childhood.
