Everyone is wrong. She was actually looking at Jay-Z (Picture:

The woman who became an overnight meme star for reacting to Beyonce but now the woman has been identified and has confessed to have been looking at Jay-Z and not Beyonce.

The grandmother, who has been named as Susan Monaghan described Jay-Z as ‘really good-looking’ and felt that she had been ‘hugged by an angel.’

Whoops, sorry Beyhive.

This time the story is not even about Beyonce, but her husband (who was ironically slightly cropped out of the picture.)


Unless you’ve been living under a rock, the open-mouthed lady meme should have made its way to you with many believing that Beyonce was the centre of attention.

To be fair, nobody can blame Susan – but who would have thought that she had all eyes for the 4:44 rapper, in the image that quickly went viral after Queen Bey herself posted the picture on her Instagram.

What a plot twist. Speaking to The Boston Globe, the Massachusetts resident lets us know what went through her head. She told the newspaper she was in NYC to for her granddaughter’s gymnastics competition and to celebrate the birthday of her daughter when she ran into the music industry royalty in her hotel. ‘I felt like I was hugged by an angel,’ Monaghan said. ‘I’m thinking in my mind, “Who is this?” I looked at [Jay-Z] and he looked tall, and thin, and had curly hair, and was really good-looking,’ she added. But she did notice Jay’s wife though. Of her encounter with Beyonce, Monaghan said: ‘I looked at her and all I could think was, “No one is going to believe me. No one is going to believe me.” The grandmother says the singer flashed her a smile that said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s going to be OK.’ https://www.instagram.com/p/BegtZJxl_8M/?hl=en&taken-by=beyonce When she was asked why she thinks Beyonce posted the photo, Monaghan said: ‘I think she posted it for me. So people would believe me.’ Monaghan’s daughter Hiitt and granddaughter didn’t believe her story until the photo began circulating online the following day. ‘We started dying laughing,’ Hiitt said. ‘And she’s like, “I told you I met them!”‘ https://www.instagram.com/p/BegsCuOFPin/?hl=en&taken-by=beyonce When Bey first posted the picture fans could do nothing but love this pic, with one saying: ‘Deeply, spiritually connected to this photo of a woman gaping in awe at the sight of beyonce.’ Another added: ‘When you realize you’re lucky to be alive during the same era as Beyonce.’ And a third made an accurate reading of the situation: ‘When your granny finds out God is a black woman.’ But our favourite response is this, so on the money. Why didn’t Beyonce just crop the woman out? Because Beyonce: ‘LMAOO this has me weak cause she could’ve easily cropped that woman out but she said “NO. I AM BEYONCÉ.
