Sept. 4 marked Beyoncé's 38th birthday [3], and YouTuber Kalen Allen led the Beyhive tributes with a seven-minute video homage to the singer. In the clip, he recreates some of Bey's iconic music videos for hits such as "Deja Vu," "Single Ladies," "Formation [4]," and the Homecoming Live [5] version of "Diva." Kalen even swaps outfits akin to some of Beyoncé's most stunning video ensembles [6] as he breaks it down, embodying the confidence and verve of the birthday girl. "To my muse and inspiration! Happy birthday Beyoncé!" he captioned the video.
Beyoncé — who does pay attention to fan-made videos [7] — likely caught wind of Kalen's incredible tribute, considering her Facebook page shared it [8]. And, naturally, Kalen lost his mind [9]. "CALL THE POLICE," he wrote under a screenshot of the repost. Bey celebrated her special day at JAY-Z's Made in America music festival on Saturday, and on Wednesday, she was praised in a heartwarming post from her mom [10], Tina Knowles Lawson. The Beyhive will probably be honouring their fearless leader for the rest of the week, maybe even the rest of the month . . . OK, the year.
