Twitter Is Hosting a Watch Party of Beyoncé's "Homecoming" on Netflix - Oprah Mag

Posted: 18 Mar 2020 04:38 PM PDT


Leave it to Beyoncé to bring the internet together during the uncertain times of a national pandemic.

It looks like many on Twitter will unite on Wednesday night to watch the Grammy-winner's hit 2019 Netflix documentary, Homecoming. As millions of people are at home social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, Twitter user @JasmynBeKnowing—aka Jasmyn Lawson, the woman who heads the Strong Black Lead team at Netflix—had a genius idea: A virtual watch party.

On Monday, Lawson tweeted, "Can we all watch Homecoming as a group some time this week and relive that again???" and was met with an enthusiastic response from followers. (The message currently has over 6,000 likes.) This prompted her to set an official date and time for the group screening—because who wouldn't want to see the magic of Destiny's Child's Coachella reunion again to help distract us from everything else going on in the world?

"Alright, let's do this thing! How's Wednesday at 6 PM PST (9 EST)??? We can use the hashtag #HOMEcoming," she wrote. (Get it? A play on the fact that we're all...you know...stuck at home.)

Now, that tweet currently has over 16,000 likes. Lawson's efforts gained even more legitimacy when the Beyhive got wind of it.

But what really turned this party into an actual thing? Queen Bey herself re-tweeted Lawson's original proposal. Now, the singer rarely tweets, so the fact that she was not just on Twitter, but retweeting, was a very big deal. But these are the times of social distancing, and Bey must know that desperate times call for genius measures.

As for @JasmynBeKnowing? She had the appropriate reaction to a Beyoncé' Twitter shout-out.

"I AM ON THE FLOOR!!!!! BEYONCE RTED ME!!! WHAT THE HELLLLLL!!!!I AM DYIIIIIINNNGGSEND HELP!!!!!I AM CRYIIIIIIIIIIIIING 4ipooprjkpo32p[o0frkfklmajkaerjope."

So you heard it here, folks. Download your Netflix Party extension, find your yellow sweatshirt, and fire-up those Twitter fingers. It's #HOMEcoming time.

You've run out of quarantine snacks, and you've burned through the new titles on your Netflix queue (including the top 10 shows and movies everyone is currently bingeing). Plus, you're feeling a little lonely since you're practising social distancing. Now what?
