Bounce queen Big Freedia performed at the Contemporary Art Museum over the weekend and the show was instantly legendary.

Big Freedia has been a Louisiana legend for two decades, but she received international acclaim a couple of years ago when Beyoncé sampled her for "Formation." Yep, that "I came to slay, bitch" is pure Freedia. Recognize.
