Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter has stopped the world once again with the release of Netflix documentary Homecoming: A Film By Beyoncé, based on her return to the stage during 2018’s Coachella Music Festival after giving birth to her twins, Rumi and Sir.
Shot over eight months, the Netflix special is part concert film, part documentary, giving the Beyhive a behind-the-scenes look at the two weekend performances that made her the first Black woman to headline the festival. She also wrote, directed and produced the project herself.
The Houston diva also surprised the masses with an unannounced companion piece to the special, releasing Homecoming: The Live Album on husband, JAY-Z’s, streaming service, TIDAL. Check out fan reaction below.

Teary eyed seeing my HBCU in #BeyonceHomecoming

Interest around HBCUs has significantly increased over the last 4 yrs but back when I enrolled ppl scoffed at my decision not to go to a “real school”. Ppl still debate the “value” of an HBCU degree vs a PWI.

Beyoncé really dropped a love letter to Black culture. A damn brand new rendition of “Before I Let You Go” and a touch of “Candy” on the beat.
