Thanks to a connection with the pop queen’s tour manager, we made a special trip to Brussels so that we could make a MONQ delivery to the crew–in person!<\/em><\/p>\n

Before you ask: Yes, it was amazing. Getting to see behind the scenes of a production as huge as\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9’s Formation World Tour was simply fascinating. Beyonc\u00e9 and her crew\u00a0travel the globe\u00a0to put on shows that draw thousands and thousands of people, yet under the stage and behind the fences, things were pretty much just…chill. Her dancers were sweet and eager to chat. Her band girls were friendly and personable. The entire crew was kind, welcoming, and down-to-earth–as if it ain’t no thang<\/em> that they all come together to produce a spectacle that millions of people spend years dreaming to see!<\/p>\n

I’ll share more when I find out how much I’m allowed to share, but for now, enjoy these pictures from the VIP section (Beyonc\u00e9’s “Beyhive”) of the Formation World Tour in Brussels, Belgium. And check out Facebook<\/a> for my live feed from the concert!<\/p>\n
