During a concert in New York City, Beyoncé showed us more proof as to why she's considered a queen. 

The artist was performing "Haunted" at Brooklyn's Barclays Center when her braid snatched an earring from her ear. This immediately caused her earlobe to start bleeding. But, what Bey did next will surprise you.

Some performers may have stopped their show to tend to their injury, but not Beyoncé! When she noticed her ear was bloodied, she wiped the blood away and kept performing like a boss. Watch her slayage continue below. 

Most likely, Bey pushed through her injury because she saw the bigger picture ahead. Before leaving the stage, the artist made sure to encourage her fans in the audience to vote this election season. Listen to her wise words below. 

The queen has spoken.
