Beyonce's Homecoming at Coachella

Beyonce was the headliner for the 2018 Coachella Music and Arts Festival. She is the first African-American woman to do so. Through watching her film about the performance, the audience can really get a sense of understanding in how much work went into that two hour performance. For Beyonce, she didn't want this show to just be another performance≤ but rather she wanted to help others understand what the black culture is like and how culturally unaware they may be. Through her performance, the audience was astounded by a live band/orchestra, talented singers, and creative dancers. Beyonce was not only the main character, but she was also the director that worked endlessly behind the scenes. She had unexpectedly gotten pregnant the year prior and was supposed to perform at Coachella that same year. Due to the circumstances at the time, she had to cancel her performance as her pregnancy got more difficult. After giving birth, she had to prepare for this Coachella performance and had many obstacles to overcome. She had gained a good amount of weight that stopped her from performing at her best. As a mom, she wanted to be there for her kids and spend time with them to truly build a great relationship with her children, but she also had to commit to being apart of this performance and making it spectacular. In America, the Super Bowl Half-time event is one of the greatest and most viewed performances all over the nation. Although she was a performer in previous years, she had not created anything close to what she had done for Coachella. There are talented African-Americans who do not have enough opportunities to share their talent and skills with the world. Beyonce grew up in a culture surrounded by the band marches and creative performances of students from African-American schools in their Homecoming events. Beyonce tried to recreate that while also giving it her own twist. As seen in the footage, the crowd was more than pleased by her 2018 Coachella performance and wished that she can do this all over again in the future.
