Sheila Watko is a Philadelphia-based traffic reporter for NBC. She is also a proud member of the Bey-Hive.
Since Beyonce once again stopped the world, this time with the Renaissance drop, people have been celebrating the artists longevity, relevance, and awesomeness in general.
Watko, not about to miss out on the fun, figured out a unique way to celebrate "Bey-Day" during a traffic report:
\u201cWhen traffic is *jumpin, jumpin*, it's time to pay tribute to Queen Bey, who I am *dangerously in love* with\ud83d\udc51\ud83d\udc1d@NBCPhiladelphia @Beyonce #RENAISSANCE \n\nA few days late, but I had to celebrate Bey Day. This time, @ErinColemanTV and @KeithJones even got in on the #Beyonce fun!\u201d— Sheila Watko (@Sheila Watko) 1659467877
The reporter rattled off more than a few of Beyonce's song titles during her report.
The sheer number of them was impressive enough, but pay close attention to where Sheila is looking.
At no point does she glance for a teleprompter or cue cards.
Sheila Watko did all that off the top of her head!
Her coworkers were so impressed with it, and the fact that it wasn't a script, that they called it out for viewers
Twitter was absolutely in love.

If this sounds familiar, it might be because this isn't the first time Watko has done this sort of thing. High energy and ridiculous puns are kind of her calling cards, and viewers have come to love her for it.
In the past, she's played the same song name game with Taylor Swift songs, and the Swifties loved it!
