If you've been paying attention, Beyoncé has taught us a lot about life and love. She's got advice for "Single Ladies," what will happen if you fall "Crazy in Love," and how you can tell if someone is "Irreplaceable." After a fan slapped her on the butt during a performance this weekend, the singer reminded people all over the world about another important lesson: keep your hands to yourself.
Queen Bey is currently taking over Europe for her The Mrs. Carter Show Tour. During a performance in Denmark this week, a male fan slapped Queen Bey's butt. Immediately after the incident, the singer reportedly told the fan, "I will have you escorted out right now, alright?" After putting the fan in his place, Beyoncé then continued on with the show like the true professional she is. Newsflash! When you pay to see a singer perform at a concert, the price of admission entitles you to attend the concert. That is all. Your ticket price does not contain some hidden fee that would allow you to non-consensually put your hands on the performer's body.
No matter if you are in a relationship or not, you are the only one who can consent to someone touching you or getting up in your personal space. Like It's Your (Sex) Life explains, "you are in control of your choices, and you are in control of your body." It's that simple. Talk to your partner about what you think is okay and not okay, and keep that line of communication open.

If your boo says "no," your boo said "no." And if it ain't your boo, don't even think about it. Right Bey?
