Beyoncé is clearly all business -- after killing her Super Bowl halftime show (thanks for coming, Chris Martin) she gave the world another thrill by announcing the Formation World Tour.
Would she bring Formation to Australia? The country was hitting refresh with serious anticipation. Beyoncé's last solo tour, the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, did come to Australia in 2013, so she knows she's loved.
I swear if the #FormationTour don't come to Australia. I will kill every baby panda in the world. Try Me. lol @Beyonce don't try me wui ha— Quentin Iluies (@quinki_) February 8, 2016
@Beyonce mother u better come to Australia on this world tour— lana / (@prxdahood) February 8, 2016
As it turns out, the official tour dates revealed that it's a world tour if the world is only the U.S., Canada and some parts of western Europe.
The news sent local Beyoncé fans into a meltdown, to put it...lightly.

@Beyonce I just recently Googled it and apparently Australia is in the world so please come— joshua.dun.with.you (@funny_sad_girl) February 8, 2016
It was a deep moment of shame for Australia. We have so little, honestly.
The Superbowl gets @Beyonce, @BrunoMars, & @coldplay - the AFL Grand Final gets Bryan Adams. Australia really isn't in the cool group.— Renee Wilkinson (@pr_in_trackies) February 8, 2016
But lo, there was some light in the darkness. An unnamed source told The Vine that her tour would definitely be heading Down Under. "It's a matter of time before this is confirmed and released to the public for Australasia," the outlet suggested.
We'll believe it when we have the tickets in our hot little hands.
