Just a day after her 34th birthday, Beyonce Knowles, rocked the house for Budweiser's Made in America festival in Philadelphia, sending positive women empowerment vibes to her audiences.
Beyonce sang a slow rendition of "Crazy in Love" while wearing a light pink leotard and a scarlet red knee-high boots. She eventually transitioned to her defunct group, Destiny's Child's hits like "Bootylicious," "Say My Name," and "Jumpin' Jumpin'"while energetically swinging her hips as she wows the crowd of her movements. There have been sexy costume changes in between her performance of her hits including "Run the World (Girls)," "7/11," "Ring the Alarm," "Halo," and "Drunk In Love".
The said performance gained high praises from the critics and spectators because of the strong feminist messages as Beyonce offered word of encouragement and talked about female empowerment in her crowd of screaming fans. She also included a beautifully choreographed dance to the words of Maya Angelou's poem 'Phenomenal Women' in between her set.
Queen Bey also paid tribute to UFC champion, Ronda Rousey and played her "Do Nothing B-ch" speech that promotes health body image. The video went viral, having been viewed by almost 3 million viewers. As the video was played, her screaming fans cheered as they hear the words of Rousey:
"I have this one term for the kind of woman that my mother raised me to not be. I call it a 'do nothing b**ch'. The kind of chick that just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by someone else. That's why I think it's hilarious if my body looks masculine or something like that. Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f***ing millionaires doesn't mean it's masculine."
As Yahoo! reports, before singing her last song, Beyonce shouted "Where my survivors at? If you survived bad relationships, if you survived illnesses. When it gets tough, that's when you work harder," and effortlessly sang "Survivor". Yahoo reports that she gave her fellow members and friends Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams a shout out towards the end, "Shout to my girl Kelly, I love you, and "My girl Michelle, I love you."
Performances from Modest Mouse, Nick Jonas and Meek Mill were also seen.
