Performing in front of Beyoncé is one thing, but performing Beyoncé's music in front of Beyoncé herself takes a level of confidence that very few people have, and Shangela is one of those people. On Thursday night, Beyoncé and JAY-Z attended the GLAAD Media Awards [1], where they were honoured with the vanguard award for their ongoing support of the LGBTQ+ community [2]. With Queen Bey and JAY-Z right in front of the stage, former Drag Race star Shangela treated the audience to a epic seven-minute performance of Beyoncé's hits, and it was so freaking good.

Not only did Beyoncé give Shangela a standing ovation [3] following her performance, but while accepting her vanguard award, Bey gave a shout-out to the drag queen. "I'm just super honoured and overwhelmed," Beyoncé said. "I've already cried. I put a run in my shocking from Shangela." Ahead, watch Shangela's performance at the GLAAD Media Awards [4] and see Beyoncé's incredible reaction.
