The Best Emojis to Describe Beyonce's New Video 'Formation' - Good Morning America

Currency Emojis

There are plenty of \"Formation\" lyrics that are perfect for emojis to describe money. She tells fans, \"Always stay gracious/best revenge is your paper\" and even sings, \"I just might be a black Bill Gates in the making.\"

\"Best revenge is your paper\" ?????????? #Formation

Hot Pepper Emoji

Throughout the song, Bey reminds her fans that although she may live in New York City with her husband, Jay Z, and their daughter, Blue Ivy, she's still a Texas girl at heart. She sings, \"I got hot sauce in my bag, swag.\" Although there's no hot sauce emoji, another spicy emoji will do.

Waves Emoji

One of the most powerful scenes of the music video is toward the very end. After Beyonce sings atop a police car surrounded by water, reminding viewers of the powerful 2005 storm, Hurricane Katrina, she drowns. Many fans have been tweeting in homage to that scene.

I love the new Beyoncé video #formation. It is amazing! ????????????????????????????

Honeybee Emoji

If there is any emoji to capture Beyonce's entire career, it would be the Honeybee. It doesn't matter what Queen Bey creates, does, says or sings, the Honeybee applies and the Beyhive knows it.

That bzzzzz just won't let up ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? #Formation ... ????????????????

Beyonce is rumored to perform \"Formation\" during Super Bowl 50's highly anticipated halftime show Sunday. She'll perform inside San Francisco's Levi's Stadium along with headliner Coldplay and special guest Bruno Mars.
