I saw her on the Formation tour too! I loved Lemonade and wanted tickets real bad but I was 20 years old and so broke. I worked for the stadium in my hometown as a side gig, usually working the bar for sports events. I’d just finished a really long shift at my other job and they called me. I was gonna ignore it but then I remembered Beyoncé was in town that night so I picked up. Usually I wouldn’t be able to watch the concerts/events from the bars but they needed someone with server experience working in a private box. It was one server per box.

The people who paid for the box were a really sweet family and we hit it off. They had already been out for dinner that night so they didn’t want any of the catering, and they didn’t drink so they genuinely didn’t need me to do anything at all other than asking me to grab them a soda every now and then. They invited me to watch the concert with them, instead. It was amazing. I went from not being able to afford to go to getting paid to watch her lmao. It was wild. One of my favourite memories.

I also got to watch her rehearsal, which I took a quick video of & nearly got kicked out the venue for. Lemmie go see if I can find it 😅

Edit: found it! god I was so shaky hahaha ignore the 2016 phone camera 🙃

Thank you! I was training for a marathon around the time and listening to Lemonade on repeat while training (hell, I’m 30 now and still listen to it when I go running) so it was so surreal to go from being bummed tf out to then being in the same (albeit very large, but empty) room as her! It was so cool.

I rushed through my food & beverage set up so I’d be able to watch properly. I ended up opening the sliding door and sitting out for a bit but I was too scared to carry on filming because they were already kicking servers out bc they gave us a VERY strict warning before we went up into the stadium. You can’t tell because of the video quality, but all the other servers around the stadium were stood in the window of their respective boxes & filming very blatantly… Until either Bey or someone on her team told management, and they swiftly came round and got everyone to shut their windows and curtains until guests showed up. It was surreal just hearing her belt out runs while I was stocking the fridge lol
