As the clock strikes Think Piece o'clock (opens in new tab) and Becky mania (opens in new tab) reaches a fever pitch, Beyoncé looks out over it all from just where she wants to be: at the start of a world tour that would have been highly lucrative anyway.

Last night in Miami, she did sing the critical lyric from "Sorry" but launched right into "Bow Down" immediately after. "If you came here to have a good time, say, 'I slay,' she said at the start of the show. "If you're proud of where you're from, say, 'I slay.'"

But even with the glorious BTS photos, the custom DSquared2 outfits, and the Prince tribute, the standout moment of the night was perhaps what she said before "Halo." "I want to dedicate this to my beautiful husband...I love you so much," she said.

Gonna need some audio-visual to analyze tone and body language, but damn—nobody captains a controversy quite like Beyoncé.
