The Beyhive are having none of it
If there's one group of fans that you definitely do not want to anger, it's the Beyhive.
Those devoted to Beyonce are fiercely loyal to her and will go to great lengths to prove it. They were in full 'attack' mode last night, when Taylor Swift took the stage at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.
Swift was performing her new song 'Me!' and the set-up happened to include a marching band. Yes, a similar marching band to the one that Beyonce used during her Coachella show in 2018, as seen in her recently-released Netflix special 'Homecoming'.
Watch the performance here:
Needless to say, there were more that a few accusations of plagiarism on social media, however unwarranted they may have been...

Others, however, pointed out that Queen Bey does not have the monopoly on marching bands...
What do you think? Is there an argument to be had in Beyonce's favour? Watch a fan-shot version of the Coachella video below...
