39 Flawless Moments From 'Lemonade'

At this point in my year, I should probably just start categorizing events in my life as Before Lemonade (BL) and After Lemonade (AL). Since Beyoncé dropped Lemonade , both the album and HBO special, I've been in a whirlwind trying to catch up with all my thoughts, because there are a lot of them. Lemonade spoke to me on a lot of different levels, both in my relationships with men and myself, and I still find surprises in the visuals on each new viewing. Since I am nowhere near done celebrating this brilliant work, here are 39 amazing moments from Lemonade that you will want your eyes to relive over and over.

Let's face it, anything Beyoncé puts her name on is going to be stunning. She never skimps on any small detail or meaning, which is why Lemonade, especially, is so enriching. She just knows how to bring her music to life and make it so that anyone can relate to it. If it were up to me, I could probably post the entire Lemonade video here because most of it is incredible, but if you're short on time and need a little quick inspiration, here are 39 moments from Lemonade that you just can't miss.
