Beyoncé’s electrifying performance at Coachella had one mom so excited that she nearly dialed 911! Picture this: it’s Sunday night, I return home from a late dinner, feeling a bit tipsy after sharing a couple of bottles of Sauvignon Blanc with friends. I discover that Beyoncé’s entire Coachella set is streaming on YouTube. I dive in, squealing, dancing, and exclaiming “YAS QUEEN” repeatedly because, honestly, have you seen that show? It was absolute fire—no one could extinguish it!
And I certainly wasn’t alone in my admiration. Coachella will henceforth be known as Beychella, thanks to the sheer brilliance of her historic performance. It was iconic, raising the bar for every Coachella act that follows. While many viewers were understandably captivated, none reacted with quite the same fervor as one mom/Beyoncé fan who live-texted her daughter throughout the show. Her exuberant commentary perfectly encapsulates the experience of everyone watching.
Karen Smith woke up to a flurry of texts from her mother, who meticulously documented her thoughts while watching Bey on stage. This delightful exchange quickly went viral when Karen shared her mom’s messages on Twitter.
First, we witness the sheer joy as Mom discovers Beyoncé’s set is available to view on YouTube. Her texts include classic mom remarks such as, “She has a lot of naughty moves that make me uncomfortable lol” and “I hope she beats up Jay Z!”
As the show progresses, her excitement continues to build. When Jay-Z joins Beyoncé on stage, the crowd goes wild. The reunion of Destiny’s Child to perform “Say My Name” and Solange’s surprise appearance for a dance number only adds to the thrill. I can feel the chills just recalling it! Mom was equally electrified, even if she wasn’t a fan of Beyoncé’s final outfit.
The commentary escalates to hilarious heights when Mom can’t calm down after the show ends. “OMG, I can’t settle down! I’m still thinking about Beyoncé,” she texts. “She rocked my world tonight even though I’m an old hag!” Honestly, same here, Mom!
As her excitement reaches a fever pitch, Mom resorts to over-the-counter remedies to quell her Bey fever and continues to send a torrent of texts, including a moment when another family member walks in, thinking something serious has happened, only to find out Mom is just overwhelmed with emotions from Beyoncé’s performance. In that moment, she truly represents all of us.
Social media erupted in response to this mom’s over-the-top enthusiasm for Queen Bey, and there’s now a campaign to get her tickets to one of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s upcoming On The Run II tour concerts. Karen shared that her mom is thrilled about the idea, eager to attend and experience Beyoncé live.
If you haven’t yet experienced Beyoncé’s Coachella set, take a cue from Mom and check it out. It’s bound to be the best hour and 40 minutes of your life!
