Beyoncé was one of the standout performers at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, when she ran through a suite of her entire self-titled album. Now, her team has shared a behind-the-scenes video that shows the frantic process of creating the performance, and how close to the wire it came. (As it turns out, it’s pretty difficult for one makeup artist to paint a bunch of people white all by herself.) Check it out below. Jay Z and baby Blue Ivy even make a cameo toward the end, further staving off those #divorcerumors.
