Everyone who watched the Grammys this weekend knows Beyoncé showed up fashionably late — but they may not have caught a hilariously awkward moment with Jay-Z right after her arrival.

When the couple were seated, it appears that Jay grabbed a drink...right before host Trevor Noah approached to present Bey with the Grammy she missed.

While Beyoncé stayed camera-ready, Jay seemed to be completely oblivious that they were even being filmed.

In fact, Jay even attempted to pass Beyoncé a drink in the middle of it all...

And then had a hilarious reaction when she declined:

The funny husband-wife interaction caused a lot of buzz online — from speculation about what was going through Jay's mind to Bey's reaction:

A TikTok comment that reads: He didn't seem to notice they were talking about his wife till he heard Beyonce
A TikTok comment that reads: Why was he so chill like he was at a bbq or something
A TikTok comment that reads: I love that he is awkward and has bad timing like all husbands. This actually makes me think this is a real marriage
A TikTok comment that reads: I love how regular he is!

And while Bey may have initially turned down Jay-Z's offer for a drink, she was definitely ready to share a toast later in the evening!

Congratulations again, Bey!
