America is having a powerful cultural moment. Beyoncé delivered a highly political Super Bowl half time show after surprise-releasing the video for her totally brilliant new single Formation, a black queer feminist f**k off to white supremacist heteropatriarchy. I love the fact that Queen Bey has expanded the conversation further by including New Orleans-based trans singer and rapper Big Freedia aka ‘The Queen of Bounce’. Incidentally, despite the themes in the video, nothing was shot in New Orleans. It was all shot in Los Angeles. The Southern Gothic set was actually an historic Pasadena home. But frankly who cares? This is the biggest music video in recent memory and a call to action from the most powerful woman in show business. It is time that we all got in formation: “[She] did not come to play with you hoes. [She] came to slay, bitch.”
