Beyoncé, living legend and icon, is making waves once again as the singer is set to perform at the 50th Annual Country Music Awards airing Nov. 2 at 8p.m.

‘Beyoncé at the CMAs,’ you ask? 

Well, if you’ve listened to the singer’s latest album Lemonade, then you’re aware that she turned the country and R&B worlds on their heads with her song “Daddy Lessons.” The news has left the internet in complete chaos — Twitter literally looks like the Mr. Krabs meme right now.

My fave made an album with one country tinged song and got BOOKED for the CMAs. Artists who make country albums can't even get booked. pic.twitter.com/9323HHoZlW

What time the singer will perform hasn’t been confirmed. Rumor has it she’s set to open with “Daddy Lessons,” but imagine the shock we’d all get if the singer opened the CMAs with “Formation.”

We’ve reached out to the CMAs and Beyoncé for comment.
