The long-anticipated release of Beyonce’s Homecoming documentary on Netflix dropped early on Wednesday morning as expected — and Queen Bey did not disappoint!

But fans did not expect Queen Bey to drop a whole live album of the same name, showcasing music from her iconic 2018 Coachella performance and even a cover of Frankie Beverly and Maze’s classic “Before I Let Go.”

So with the Beyhive at full sensory overload, here are the funniest and most revealing reactions, including admiration from one of our fave directors, Ava Duvernay:

Coachella doesn't get renamed for every artist that performs. Stop it. #Beychella is a specific once in a lifetime, world-shattering performance that no else today could ever replicate. Beyoncé changed Coachella. Every other artist is still just appearing at Coachella.
