There really aren’t strong enough words to describe how momentous the past 10 years have been for Beyoncé. The 38-year-old singer began the decade on a high note by winning big at the 2010 Grammys after the release of 2008’s I Am…Sasha Fierce and 2009’s subsquent I Am . . . World Tour. But, as we now know, she was just barely scratching the surface of her stardom.
Since then, Bey has reached a level of incomparability that will probably (definitely) remain intact for the rest of eternity. From releasing earth-shattering albums to taking a stand for social justice to birthing all three of her children, the 2010s were undoubtedly shaped by Beyoncé’s impact. It’s an era on which we can look back and say was the epoch of Queen Bey’s rise, which we got to witness. So strap in, Beyhive, because we’re taking a look back on Yoncé’s buzziest moments from the past decade.
