got sicker. 

[Insert raucous applause.] 

During Tuesday night's New York City stop of Bey's Formation World Tour, Queen B revealed to the world that she is a human (barely) by sneezing. 

And the audience went wild. 

Of course, she sneezed politely into the crook of her arm -- despite her arm being covered in thousands of dollars of bedazzling. 

After her dainty yet somehow commanding bodily fuction, the audience erupted in a "Bless You," followed by cheers, having been privileged to her flying snot, phlegm and spit. 

We were not worthy. 

For hours after the blessed moment, the Internet hunted for footage to reveal in the historic act but could not find anything. Was it Bey's doing? Had she made sure to burn evidence of her mortal sin? 

No. 






And in further evidence the Illuminati exists, Blue Ivy also sneezed Monday night on the red carpet for the CFDA Awards. 

Like queen, like daughter.
