Beyonce has worked with some of the world’s top choreographers, but it was Jonathan Groff‘s “walk” that is inspiring the pop star to move in new and undoubtedly fabulous ways.
Bey and husband Jay Z recently attended a performance of the hit musical Hamilton, and after the show they paid a backstage visit to Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote and stars as Alexander Hamilton, and costar Jonathan Groff, who plays King George III.
That meeting in and of itself was likely enough to leave Groff and Miranda star struck, but what came next was totally unexpected.
The exchange was relayed via Miranda’s Twitter feed:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Groff got embarrassed. But he said I could tell you. Next three tweets.

1) Beyonce: Did you play the King? Groffsauce: Yes. Beyonce: I’m stealing your walk. I love your walk. Groffsauce: *inarticulate sounds*
— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) October 28, 2015
2) Beyonce: When you turned away still facing the audience? *BEYONCE DEMONSTRATES FLAWLESSLY* Beyonce: You were your OWN turntable. Love it. — Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) October 28, 2015
3) And then, in Groffsauce’s own words “Then the ground swallowed me up and I died happy.” Thus endeth the meeting of Beyonce & Groffsauce. — Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) October 28, 2015
There is no straight-male equivalent for the ecstasy of Beyonce telling you “I love your walk.” ESPECIALLY for Groffsauce, walk enthusiast. — Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) October 28, 2015
Bruce Lee: “Can you teach me that cool kick?” That’s the closest I can approximate to what happened to Groffsauce. — Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) October 28, 2015

That woman steals everyone’s dance moves. And then her SJW fans have the galls to call other people appropriators.
But to be fair, she steals credit from her songwriters too, getting bylined for songs she didn’t contribute a thing to.

Beyonce is the definition of insufferable.

@Brian-and every other woman that has ever walked on earth, right? Right?

@meghanada: You’re gay. You’re a social justice warrior by default.
This isn’t 4chan. Spare us that asinine overused phrase.

Yes, that’s the same way she contacted Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker for her Countdown video…

I don’t understand why everyone thinks Jonathan Graff is hot; I mean yea he’s cute but he looks like he would have no idea what to do or how to act on a date/in the bedroom. He plays Patrick on ‘Looking’ so well because he’s not acting lmao. I’m not trying to hate at all; just what I think.

@Fern8783: My roommate watched an episode of Looking with me one time and as soon as Jonathan Groff was done his scene(s) he said to me: “That guy is /everything/ that is wrong with the gay community.”
