  1. Her bum

The Bootylicious singer has an amazing figure and her bum is one of her best features. Probably best with all that booty shaking she does on stage!

  1. Her and Jay-Z’s cute relationship

As well as being one of the most private celeb couples, they’re also one of our favourites.

The couple have been together since 2003

  1. THAT VMAs performance

She shocked the world when, in true Beyoncé style, she revealed she was pregnant on stage at the VMAs.

  1. Single Ladies

We’ve all done it, especially when we’ve had one too many, and this dance was an instant hit. It has been recreated by many stars, including Justin Timberlake!

  1. Her quotes

Being Queen Bey she says a lot of wise things. These are three of our favourite Beyoncé quotes:

“I wanted to sell a million records and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I’ve been working non-stop since I was fifteen, I don’t even know how to chill out.”

“I’m a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don’t have control of every situation.”

“Y’all are so cute and y’all talk so proper over here. I love England.”

  1. She puts her fans in their place

During a recent gig Beyoncé told a fan off for being too busy filming her to enjoy the show. She told him: “You gotta seize the moment. Put that damn camera down!”

  1. THAT acceptance speech

At the 2009 MTV EMAs she won an award for Single Ladies and she had only one person to thank: Jay-Z for putting a ring on it!

  1. Blue Ivy

She is probably one of the cutest celeb babies.

  1. Destiny’s Child

As well as being the lead singer of Destiny’s Child, her dad was the manager and her mum made the costumes. There was almost no need for the other members…

  1. She refers to herself as Queen Bey

That's right, she even calls herself a Queen. She also calls her fan base the Hive, short for BeyHive.

Basically we love Beyoncé. All hail Queen Bey!
