The Hive Reacts To Beyonce’s Baby News
In case you’ve been stranded on a desert island without a phone or internet connection, Beyonce broke the internet (again) this morning by revealing she’s pregnant with twins. “We would like to share our love and happiness,” Queen Bey captioned a baby bump-revealing pic on Instagram. “We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes.” The post was signed “The Carters” and triggered a frenzied (and hilarious) response for The Hive.
In fact, the news generated half a million Tweets in 45 minutes, which works out to be around 17,000 tweets per minute. Once the initial shock wore off, the jokes started flowing. There were quips about her upcoming festival performance (“Beyonce is headlining Coachella while pregnant with twins and I can barely survive college”), Grammy prospects (“BEYONCE SIMPLY CAN NOT LOSE ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!! THE STRESS WOULD BE TOO MUCH ON THOSE BABIES”) and Illuminati conspiracy theories. I’ve rounded up my favorite reactions below.
"Why do you keep tweeting about Beyoncé and her twins?!"

Someone said watch Jay Z try to make us download Tidal to find out the names of Beyoncé's new twins. I'm logging off.

Beyoncé is having twins, but I have two bottles of sangria so it's kind of the same.

Beyoncé: I can't just HAVE another baby. I already did that. I'm beyond that.
