As we have all seen, Beyoncé recently embarked on her Renaissance world tour.

She's got robots, iconic outfits, and a multitude of slays.

Anyway, one particular moment that's going viral happened during the "Break My Soul" dance break. This video from Twitter user @whowantsfudge captured the slay.

Someone threw what looked like a jacket onstage toward Beyoncé and her dancers — I guess to try to get a viral moment and have her wear it.

But her backup dancer — a super-talented dancer named Honey Balenciaga — removed it so seamlessly that I didn't even catch it at first.

Literally, it looked as if it was part of the choreo.
