Unfazed, the multiple award winner went on with her performance like nothing had happened, but her loyal fans took it upon themselves to show solidarity by cutting off parts of their ears in a shocking #CutForBeyonce trend.
If Queen B had to endure pain, so do I. Tonight we #CutForBeyonce

@giselleknowlesc She’s a singer freak. I know the name of a good therapist. Tweet me and I’ll give her number before it’s to late.
