The moment went viral after it was shared on TikTok this week with the on-screen caption: “When Meghan and Beyoncé met for the first time.”
The clip was liked more than 8,000 times and viewed close to 150,000 times, while one reply read: “Beyoncé genuinely likes Meghan.” Another fan said “they are both in awe of each other,” while a third response read: “It’s Jay Z’s respectful, awkward hug for me.”
