Made You Look: Beyoncé's Biggest Surprise Moments - The platinum edition of Beyoncé is not all the Hive gets for Christmas. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of her surprise self-titled release, Beyoncé dropped a new video, Yours and Mine, a documentary short in which she breaks down the heart behind the lyrics (hint: it's filled with Jay Z and Blue Ivy and the rest of the Carter-Knowles crew) and also reveals the most powerful thing in life.Read on for more of Queen Bey's biggest and baddest surprise moments.

Just a Hip Hopera - Before the frontwoman of Destiny's Child went solo, she stepped into the spotlight as the lead in MTV's movie musical Carmen: A Hip Hopera, which was derived from the opera Carmen and the 1954 film Carmen Jones starring Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge. Before this point, who really expected Beyoncé to act? It took us by surprise, but we soon learned Bey would show and prove to be a triple threat in many movies. (Photo: Carmen Productions)

Solo Stardom - After declaring time and time again in interviews that she and the other girls of Destiny's Child couldn't imagine going solo, Beyoncé, well, went solo. She dropped her debut album, Dangerously in Love, on June 24, 2003. (Photo: Columbia)

Bilingual Busy Bey - At the tail-end of the Latin music craze that swept pop music, Beyoncé released a deluxe version of B'Day with the bonus disc being entirely in Spanish. It was a completely unexpected move, but the more languages that we can sing-along with Bey in, the better. (Photo: Columbia)

He Put a Ring on It - Always a private couple, in 2008, Jay Z and Beyoncé got married in secret (from the media) and only let the world know when they were ready. How'd they do it? We may never, ever know. (Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage)

That Bump, Bump, Bump - After walking the 2011 VMAs red carpet looking a bit heavy in the belly, Beyoncé performed "Love on Top" wearing a sequined magenta jacket with a white collared shirt and black pants. Sure, it all looked like part of her coordinated act until she unbuttoned that blazer at the end of her performance and revealed one hell of a baby bump. Four months and some change later, she gave birth to none other than Blue Ivy Carter. (Photo: Kristian Dowling/Getty Images)

Any Questions? - After being accused of lip-synching at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration, Bey took the stage at the press conference for the 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show and gave an inpromptu, a capella performance of The National Anthem. After handling the naysayers, she simply said the following to the media: "Any questions?" (Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images)

Reunited and It Felt Good - On what was one of the biggest nights of Beyoncé's career, she took the Super Bowl stage and brought her former bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, with her for a short Destiny's Child medley. Nobody expected it to happen, especially with a solo catalog as extensive as hers. (Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images)

Mrs. Carter - In 2013, with no new music out, Beyoncé embarked on the highly successful Mrs. Carter Show World Tour for a year. Was it shocking that she toured with no new music? Yes. Did stans really care? No, because the show was amazing.  (Photo: Larry Busacca/PW/WireImage for Parkwood Entertainment)

The Big Chop - In the middle of the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, Beyoncé did something that we're sure she couldn't even believe — she cut her hair. And no, it wasn't a few inches or styled into a bob. She mustered up the guts to get a pixie cut. Be clear though, she threw a weave back up in her head real quick and we haven't seen that pixie since.  (Photo: Beyonce via Instagram)

Shhh... - On Friday, December 13, 2013, when most of the world was trying to fall asleep, Beyoncé broke the system and stunned the world by dropping her self-titled album Beyoncé without any traditional promo. The album came with a music video for each song and sold over 800,000 copies in four days.  (Photo: Parkwood/Columbia)

Still Running - The most powerful couple in music is undoubtedly Jay Z and Beyoncé, so naturally after running the game as solo artists for the past decade, they joined forces on the On the Run Tour. This was surprising because both had just come off major tours and because, well, they don't share all that much of their private lives with the world. It was a special treat.

Surprise... Again! - On August 2, 2014, much like the release of her self-titled album, Bey decided to drop an official remix to "***Flawless" featuring Nicki Minaj. She flexed some of her lyrical skills on the track and she even addressed "Elevatorgate" by saying, "of course sometime s**t goes down when it's a billion dollars on a elevator." Well, shut us up, Motha Bey! (Photo: Columbia)

On Top as Usual  - In October 2014, it was announced that the pop diva would collaborate with Top Shop on an activewear line. So far, the project is quite hush-hush, but we anticipate it being sexy, comfortable and groundbreaking.  (Photo: WeirPhotos/Splash News)
