Disney’s The Lion King doesn’t roar into theaters until tomorrow. But you can watch Beyonce’s new Lion King-inspired “Spirit” video right now.
The clip premiered on ABC as part of a Lion King TV special. The visual includes lots of colorful costume changes, some actual lions and even a cameo from Blue Ivy. The song “Spirit” is featured on The Lion King: The Gift. In an interview, Bey called the project “a love letter to Africa” featuring some of the continent’s “best talent.”
It’s the number-one trending video on YouTube for a reason — check it out for yourself.

Hot Takes:
- Forget about the king of the jungle, she’s the queen of the world.
- Even if no kids and families went to see The Lion King, I bet it could break box office records from the BeyHive support alone.
- Disney should make a new cut of the movie that’s only the Beyonce parts.
- Nobody does it like ‘Yonce.
- Lions and tigers and Bey, oh my!
