So, Michelle Obama has warned us NOT to look Beyoncé in the eye

If we were lucky enough to meet Beyoncé, you can be damn sure we wouldn't be doing much except giggling into our sleeve and maybe peeing our pants.

But if we did manage to hold it together in front of Queen Bey, we'd probably do our best to keep Michelle Obama's wise words in mind.

Speaking to Stephen Colbert on the Late Show, the First Lady got real about the woman who brought us some of the sassiest singles of our generation.

"You shouldn’t look her in the eye " Michelle warned the world. "She’s a special person."

Wait, what?

But before Beyonce could become the boogieman of the music industry, Michelle reminded us that beneath all the sass, there's a straight-up southern girl.

"She’s a sweetheart. She’s smart, she’s creative, she’s a great mother, she loves her family,” Michelle gushed.

Smart and creative is all well and good, but you heard her, ladies – avoid eye contact at all costs.
