The world is buzzing with news that Beyoncé is set to perform at the awards show and Twitter is already making jokes.

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.

Me: I hate country music

They thought the Super Bowl was safe. WRONG! They thought the CMAS were safe. WRONG! pic.twitter.com/wfjMjBu5HV

— thx. (@chrstvphr) November 2, 2016

Friend: Wyd tonight?

Me: Watching Empire & AHS

Friend: You know Beyonce performing at the CMAs tonight.

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

White racists country fans: The CMAs are the one award show that we got left

white people: "nuh uhhhhh, beyonce's song isn't really country music!"

CMAs producers: "hello, is this beyonce? are you busy november 2…" pic.twitter.com/ULvHA1lgGq

Beyonce about to have me watching the CMAs for 5 minutes.

— tahirah hairston (@tahairyy) November 2, 2016

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.
