Labor Day can step aside, because, according to these tweets about Beyoncé's birthday, it's now officially #BeyDay. Ms. Knowles-Carter turned 36 on Monday, and celebrities and fans are doing the most to celebrate. Stars including Kelly Rowland, Serena Williams, and Michelle Obama honored the 20-time Grammy winner with an elaborate tribute to her "Formation" video; her mother, Tina Lawson, shared a touching message on Instagram; and social media users have been flooding the internet all morning with well wishes and testimonials.

For some, it might just be another day on the calendar, but, for others, it's a bona fide national holiday, and they demand it be treated as such. So, let's count the ways Beyoncé has blessed us, shall we? She's given us six multi-platinum solo records, numerous hit singles — "Single Ladies," "Run The World," "Sorry," take your pick — the instantly iconic imagery of her smashing car windows with a baseball bat, and, most importantly, one hell of a female role model. Whether you're a stan or not, her platform has helped to empower countless women, and that's a legacy worth praising.
