Netflix dropped the trailer for Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce, just before Coachella weekend one! The special highlights Beyonce’s groundbreaking 2018 Coachella performance, which had left fans from all around the world speechless.
Not only is the performance displayed, but viewers are also given a chance to see behind-the-scenes footage of Bey’s show, and hear the special narrated by the audio of the late Maya Angelou. Jay-Z and Blue even make cameo appearances!
According to Vanity Fair, her performance was, “thematically centered on homecoming weekend as celebrated at historically black colleges and universities, and on highlighting black Greek culture.” The Beyhive leader even launched a merchandise line “Homecoming” after her compelling show as well, and also started a “Homecoming Scholars Award Program,” to award a $25,000 scholarship to four lucky students.
The incredible Coachella performance was imperative to the music festival’s history of line-ups, for Yoncé was the first black woman to EVER headline the annual music festival.
“Thank you, Coachella, for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline,” she stated in front of her live audience. “Ain’t that ‘bout a bitch?”
