Are you a Beyoncé fan?

On Sunday night she took home eight trophies at the MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year for “Formation.” She also invited the mothers of four black men killed in racially charged episodes to join her on the red carpet.

Here’s what Times music reviewers wrote about her performance that evening:

What do you think of Beyoncé and the messages of her visual album “Lemonade”? Tell us in the comments.
