Who run the world? According to Beyoncé, Shangela does.
At the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, the drag superstar took to the stage to perform a raucous medley of Beyoncé’s greatest hits, including hits like “Partition,” “Run the World” and “Single Ladies,” along with Destiny’s Child tracks like “Bootylicious” and “Independent Women.” The star was aided by a slew of backup dancers, who helped Shangela pull off some truly sickening choreography.
