This is not the first time Bey has shown up with all-female backup. She’s toured (ahem, insert Formation tour freak-out) with her all-gal band the Suga Mamas.
When you’ve got Beyoncé and her gals (in outfits inspired by the Black Panthers) at the Super Bowl, that’s all that really matters. But hey, Chris Martin, you’re appreciated. Even (especially) when you do this:
