What did Beyoncé do after slaying the stage at the Super Bowl? She celebrated with her loved ones, of course. After coming off the field, a smiling Bey ran into the arms of her husband Jay-Z backstage at the Superdome, and the sweet moment was captured on Instagram.

Baddie Bey took to her own Instagram account to share a black-and-white photo of her with Kelly and Michelle holding hands and jumping in the air, and another of her with a hood on moments before taking the stage. The ladies hid themselves under cloaks in order to keep their reunion a surprise.

Mrs. Carter also posted a heartfelt note to her fellow Super Bowl XLVII performers Kelly, Michelle, Alicia Keys, and Jennifer Hudson, toasting their monumental day.

“What a proud day for African American women!!!!” she wrote. “It was an honor to perform at the Super Bowl with you phenomenal ladies.”
