Beyoncé is referred to "the queen of" many many things. But in the past year with the surprising, unorthodox drop of her Beyoncé album, and the HBO-assisted, bite-sized reveal of her Beyoncé: X10 tour footage, she's definitely become the queen of out-of-the-box premieres. So it shouldn't really be that surprising that the teaser for the trailer of 50 Shades of Grey premiered on Beyoncé's Instagram over the weekend. Who needs movie theater debuts anymore anyway? The short clip teases the full trailer which will debut, once again, on Beyoncé's Instagram this Thursday.

The teaser itself doesn't give us much information. We don't even get a good look at stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. In fact, the real star of the teaser is Beyoncé whose incredibly sultry and slowed down version of "Crazy in Love" plays over flashes of Dornan's well-manicured hands as they drum, unlock, and stray. Who needs in-depth film footage when you have the patented Beyoncé rasp and sigh? That alone should be enough to sell plenty of tickets.
