Beyoncé stood out, as usual, at this year’s Grammy awards. Because of her wardrobe and overall aesthetic of her performance, people all over Twitter are now starting to compare Queen Bey to La Virgen De Guadalupe. Yes, the sacred Virgin Mary. Check out how people felt about this comparison:
In case you missed it, here’s how Beyoncé looked during her performance at the Grammys.

Which many of her fans felt blessed to witness. ??
And as soon as Bey began to perform, many noticed the resemblance right away:

Like, “HOLD UP — let me take out my Virgen de Guadalupe statue for comparison really quick.”
The resemblance was actually so spot on, some people even felt like they were in church.⛪️

So Beyoncé’s performance might help you feel a little less guilty in case you missed Sunday morning mass.
Which is why three minutes into Bey’s performance, people on Twitter started reciting prayers like:
Tres minutos después …
—Santa María, madre de dios…#Beyonce #GRAMMYs

Not identical, but definitely a few similarities including the gold details and the over-the-head veil.
Here’s another side by side comparison including Bey’s enormous, gold halo.

The comparisons began before the Grammys, when Beyoncé released her maternity photos:

From the colors to the roses, there are undeniable similarities.
It’s no wonder this man’s niece literally confused Beyoncé for La Virgen de Guadalupe:

Some are even suggesting that Televisa should sign a contract with Beyoncé so that she can be featured in the next season of “La Rosa de Guadalupe.”

No me vi los #GRAMMYs, pero leyéndolos entendí: 1. Televisa y Beyonce firmaron contrato para la nueva temporada de La Virgen de Guadalupe.

Now imagine how badass her audition would be…??
But some people are not liking this comparison at all…
Beyoncé you are not mother Mary or our lady of Guadalupe take that crown off.

Blasphemy?
Others are absolutely in love with the elements of the Virgen de Guadalupe that they saw in Bey’s wardrobe and performance.
Beyoncé is using La Virgen de Guadalupe narrative as a source of fashion/performance inspiration. #Love #Love #Love ??

They definitely appreciate the artistic and religious inspiration.
But no matter what Beyoncé wore that night, there’s no doubt many people felt blessed simply by her presence.
I was about 2 feet from Beyoncé when she won for Lemonade. Yup. That happened. I said goddess. She said thank you. And now I'm preg w twins.
