It’s hard to imagine anyone being able to remain cool, calm and collected after violently ripping their earlobe open, but for Beyonce, it was, naturally, a walk in the park.
And, because she’s a consummate performer, she even managed to hide it from concertgoers for a while.
Performing at the Brooklyn Barclays Centre on Saturday, the Grammy winner was seen wiping her right earlobe during a performance of “Haunted”, looking briefly down at her hand and carrying on with the hit track like it was no big deal.
