Earlier today, TIME released their annual list of the Top 100 Most Influential People, dubbing Beyonce the most influential “titan” of 2014.
We were hardly shocked to hear that the Queen beat out politicians, fellow musicians, actors and world leaders for the coveted number one spot. She’s an activist, a visionary, a talented musician and so much more. I mean really, who else could elicit this type of response from the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson?
That’s right, y’all. Bow down.
Since she hit the scene as the frontwoman of famed ’90s girl group Destiny’s Child, Beyonce’s been inspiring young men and women alike. Throughout her lengthy career, Queen Bey’s created songs that empower and uplift listeners, she’s worked with countless charities to spread messages of hope, and she continuously sets a positive example in her own personal life.
