I didn’t quite realize how culturally significant Beyoncé was until I went to the Renaissance World Tour .
As I tried my best to navigate the crowd entering SoFi Stadium for her Los Angeles show, all I could focus on were the swarms of silver and chrome. The creativity was delightful, as I passed rhinestone crop tops, tights, every style of skirt, an army of light-up cowboy hats, and a simple sparkly dress walking next to a getup made of almost exclusively chains.
DJ Khaled kicked off the night, bringing out a variety of notable special guests. Wiz Khalifa sang “See You Again,” and Offset from Migos performed “ Bad and Boujee .” More popped out from behind the stage in what felt like a lucky dip of surprise performers, including 2 Chainz, Coi Leray, Roddy Ricch, and Lil Wayne. The opening act lineup was the craziest I’d ever seen, but if it were going to happen anywhere, it would be here. It’s L.A., and, more importantly, it’s Beyoncé.
