Last night at the Beverly Hilton, pop superstar Beyoncé and legendary rapper Jay Z accepted GLAAD's Media Vanguard Award for their outstanding LGBTQ+ advocacy.

In anticipation of The Carters taking the stage, RuPaul's Drag Race star Shangela came out with a surprise seven-minute lip-sync performance to our favorite Bey tracks - and it was so good that Beyoncé herself gave Shangela a standing ovation!
