Getty Editorial Shangela takes the stage at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

Performing a Beyoncé medley while Beyoncé watches is like doing math in front of Archimedes or pumping iron in the presence of The Rock ― most would be too fearful to try. And then there’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alumShangela, who lip-synced for her life mere steps away from Queen Bey at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night. The drag performer and actor, flanked by crop-top sporting back-up dancers, paid tribute to Beyoncé with a seven-minute, expertly choreographed medley to some of the most beloved songs from the singer’s catalog, including “Single Ladies,” “Bootylicious” and “Flawless.”

Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z were attending the ceremony to receive the Vanguard Award from the media watchdog and advocacy organization for their continued support of the LGBTQ community. The “Everything Is Love” duo were seen clapping along to the medley from their seats and rose to their feet with the rest of the crowd after the performance was done.
