One of the world’s most popular entertainers performed at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta this past Friday, Saturday and Monday. Beyoncé sold out every night’s show in a stretch that had many renaming ATL to BEY-TL.

During Friday’s show, the musical icon declared Atlanta as the winner of the “everybody on mute” war, which dominated social media discourse. In what’s now become a staple of the tour during the song “Energy,” once Beyoncé sings the line “everybody on mute,” she and her backup dancers freeze and signal the crowd to go silent by putting a finger over their lips.

On Monday night, the artist also performed “All Up in Your Mind,” “Drunk in Love,” and “Thique” for the first time since the European leg of her world tour.
