Twirling on her haters! Beyoncé unveiled “Boycott Beyoncé” tees at the launch of her Formation World Tour in Miami on Wednesday, April 27.
Queen Bey, 34, sold the statement T-shirts, which are black with scarlet script, for $45 at her merchandise booths on opening night. They were offered alongside other swaggy pieces, including a “Slay All Day” tee (also $45) and a bomber jacket with the tour’s lotus flower symbol on the back ($150).

But the “Boycott Beyoncé” tees bore the strongest message, presumably as a response to the Miami Police Department. After the Lemonade hitmaker performed “Formation” at Super Bowl 50 with backup dancers wearing Black Panther–inspired outfits, an act some deemed anti-police, the Miami PD announced that they would not work her tour when she came to the Floridian city.

Nevertheless, USA Today reported that there were plenty of officers both at Marlins Park, where the show took place, and in the surrounding streets.
