Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter turns 36 today, which means the Beyhive is buzzing. There's no word yet on how Bey, hubby Jay Z, or their three kids—Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir—are officially celebrating her big day; however, we do know that last night, the family was in Philly. The occasion? Budweiser's Made In America Festival, where Jay Z headlined a set.
Not missing an opportunity to celebrate, Jay Z told the crowd, "Shout out to Beyoncé. Beautiful Bey is in the house tonight. Happy birthday, my love!" before leading everyone in singing the chorus from Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday."
In video captured at the event, we can see Beyoncé smiling as the crowd properly celebrates the queen she is, with fellow former Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams standing beside her. Earlier, Bey and Blue Ivy got their grooves on while Jay performed.
Beyoncé's sister Solange was also a performer at the festival, which meant that basically the whole crew was together for what must be a very special birthday weekend.

Perhaps the person who most enjoyed the weekend, though, was Cardi B. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper got this picture out of the festival. In other words, she hath been anointed:
Beyoncé, a Houston native, made headlines earlier this week for her response to the destruction wrought by Hurricane Harvey. After initially posting her prayers for Texas on Instagram, the singer made a statement to the Houston Chronicle about her plans to help affected Houstonians through her BeyGOOD initiative.
Less importantly, she was also dragged into the sturm and drang over Taylor Swift's new video.
Here's hoping Beyoncé and her family have a wonderful weekend celebrating. Maybe we'll get a party pic with Rumi and Sir's inevitable new playmate, Serena Williams' daughter? After all, if anyone's going to have a power-clique birthday, it's Queen B.
