Taylor Swift opened up the 2019 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas Wednesday night (May 1) and kicked off her performance with a marching band wearing all pink.
Does this sound (and look) familiar?
Well, it should, because Beyoncé did the same thing last year at Coachella!
THE CAUCASITY, RIGHT?!?
Of course, Black Twitter let poor little Tay Tay have it over her gentrified #Beychella-esque performance, and they’ve been dragging her all the way to #Mayochella hell and back all morning.
The dragging has been so widespread that our friends over at Bossip are trending on Twitter right now for this hilarious headline:
MAGAchella: Beyoncé Tether Taylor Swift Used The Unseasoning Stone And A Marching Bland To Gentrify Beychella And Got Banished To The Alabaster Abyss
