When one of the most powerful men in the country is so thin-skinned he publicly melts down at every perceived slight, it’s a powerful visual to watch a consummate, composed professional woman take a cool look at her own blood and continue singing without missing a beat.

 On Saturday night at the Tidal X 1015 concert at Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center, Beyoncé accidentally ripped out an elaborate earring from one ear while performing. You can see from the red carpet photo how it might have easily snagged. Beyoncé seemed to notice the slow trickle of blood coming off her lobe during a performance of “Haunted” and, after calmly clocking the carnage, she warmly asked the crowd how they were doing. 
 
 Beyoncé fans watching the livestream of the concert, however, reacted with a little less chill. Soon the hashtag #CutForBeyonce started trending, with fans offering to slice themselves open all for the love of Bey. The tweets come with a lot of disturbing imagery (most surely fake, but still), so click with caution. You knew, theoretically, that Beyoncé fans would do anything for their queen. But perhaps you didn’t know it could go this far. 
 
 The following video shows the exact moment when the earring ripped—thanks, it seems, to Beyoncé’s long braid. 
 
 She pauses, walks to the side, and is back to her elaborate head-whipping choreography within seconds. But it’s that image of the singer dispassionately recognizing her own blood and soldiering on anyway that will stick with the entire BeyHive. We could all learn a little something from the steel in Beyoncé’s spine.

Queen B's fans are praising Beyonce's unshakable calm after she accidentally ripped an earring out during her performance Saturday night at the Tidal X: 1015 benefit concert in Brooklyn. Video shows the singer calmly checking to see if she's bleeding from her ear, then continuing to perform without missing a beat. Fans online made a distinctly bigger deal about the incident than Beyonce did herself: The volume of talk about the incident caused a Beyonce-related hashtag to trend on Twitter. "Beyonce ripped out an earring and her ear was bleeding but she still performed while staying on key. That is talent ladies and gentlemen," one admirer tweeted.
