Beyoncé Had a Hand in Every Tiny Detail

Every Behyhive member knows exactly how precise Beyoncé is. The artist is well-known for having high standards for herself and anyone who works with her — which is why everything she does is basically perfection. In Homecoming, Beyoncé reveals that there wasn't a single detail that was too small for her to touch. "I respect things that take work, I respect things that are built from the ground up," she says in the documentary. "I'm super-specific about every detail."

She goes on to reveal that she personally selected every dancer, the shape and height of the pyramid stage, all the material used on stage, and even the patches sewn on her dancers' Balmain costumes. "Every tiny detail had intention," she says.

The singer was adamant that everyone knew the show "front to back" and as the director, writer, and lead performer of the show, she wanted it to be perfect. At one point in the film, the headliner is shown in a meeting with at least 50 people after rehearsal, explaining her frustration with how she wants the sound effects of the show (i.e. the stomps, the rumble of the pyramid, the ad libs from dancers) recorded to translate on camera.

"Until I see some of my notes applied, it doesn't make sense for me to make more," she says in the meeting. "My goal is simply that . . . everyone out there can feel what we feel. I know everybody's working hard, so we'll get there."

And then she leaves for her anniversary dinner with JAY-Z, because that's what bosses do — they delegate!
