Coachella is upon us, and this year festival-goers are finally getting what they’ve been waiting for: Bey fuckin’ yonce. Considering she had to cancel last Coachella, has she’s since given birth to twins, and has set a pretty high bar for live performances, we have some totally and completely reasonable predictions for what’s going to happen when she performs Saturday night at Coachella. Hold onto your flower crowns, because if even one of these things happens, yaaaas kweens, it’s going to be one craaaazy weekend.
BTW if even one of these predictions does come true, you owe the Noisey staff $100. We accept Venmo.
