My edges nor the hair line of any human watching MTV’s Video Music Awards stood a chance. She did not come to play, and our baby hair was hers for the taking.
The night was really Beyonce Video Music Awards, part II following her MTV 2014 takeover.

Here are 13 times Queen Bey plucked at our scalps Sunday night.
1. Bey and Blue Ivy’s grand entrance on the white carpet.
