    Alica keys said in a interview that she didn't even know she was on stage.

    She literally looks at her in the video. She must have meant she didn’t know who she was? Which is worse.

    Is it because of this incident that I have never heard of this person ?

    It happened the same night Kanye did his whole “imma let you finish” with Taylor swift and that’s what everyone was fixated on

    It's so god damn funny that someone would have one single pop off and then be like "welp I NEED to be on THAT stage"

    She’s also from NYC,so guess it was a pride moment for her?

    I watched a more recent interview of her on the breakfast club talking about it (I say "more recent", but it was probably like a decade ago or something😆) but it made me really feel for her. She lost EVERYTHING and it seems at that moment that she genuinely thought it was a smart move, but upon reflection she saw how bad it was. I couldn't imagine my worst life destroying cringe moment being broadcasted to millions and that being the ONLY thing I'm known for forever. She seems like a really kind and level headed person too. It was sad.

    I do remember when it all went down and the vicarious embarrassment I felt. It was AWFUL.

    I know it was the same night as the infamous Kanye/Swift moment, but was this before or after that in the night? I can’t remember but I was a junior in high school and this was massive

    After. This was one of the closing numbers IIRC.

    Poor Beyoncé had to deal with this AND the Kanye/Taylor incident on the same night

    The words “poor” and “Beyonće” should never be used together

    Money and fame should not make empathy impossible. She can be her yet still get sympathy for dealing with Kanye and Lil Mama's antics. As well as the fact that we all know Beyonce should have won best album of that year.
