Myf Warhurst on '' Double J' '' s " Lunch With Myf " explains that with '' Lemonade '' , Beyoncé " changed the album to a narrative with an arc and a story and you have to listen to the entire thing to get the concept ... She 's brought the album back . " At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards ( 2017 ) , Adele dedicated her Album of the Year award to Beyoncé and said : " The artist of my life is Beyoncé ... the '' Lemonade '' album , is just so monumental . " Bill Condon , director of the film '' Beauty and the Beast '' ( 2017 ) says the visuals behind '' Lemonade '' inspired him for the movie : " You look at Beyoncé 's brilliant movie '' Lemonade '' , this genre is taking on so many different forms … I do think that this very old-school break-out-into-song traditional musical is something that people understand again and really want . " The cover of Marvel 's 2017 '' America '' comic book paid homage to the " Formation " music video , with its illustrator saying " America is a comic that is all about representation , feminism and fighting for what ’s right ... I could think of no better parallel than Beyoncé . " Sales for Warsan Shire 's chapbook " Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth " increased by 700 to 800 % after her poetry was included in the '' Lemonade '' film . Beyoncé 's mention of Red Lobster in " Formation " increased sales at the restaurant chain by 33 % , which made employees rename popular menu items after Beyoncé and call the effect the " Beyoncé Bounce " . Designers of the costumes that Beyoncé wore in the '' Lemonade '' film spoke with '' Complex '' about the impact that this had on their careers ; for example , Natalia Fedner , who designed Beyoncé 's dress for " Hold Up " , stated that because of the dress 's inclusion in Lemonade , " I was on ' Entertainment Tonight ' being hailed as a ' designer to watch ' . " The inclusion of imagery from the 1991 film '' Daughters of the Dust '' in the visuals for '' Lemonade '' helped bring the film back to theatres , with director Julie Dash stating that '' Lemonade '' " just took me places that I had not been seeing in a long , long time . It just re-confirmed a lot of things that I know to be true about visual style and visual metaphors . And the use of visual metaphors in creating , redefining , and re-framing a Creole culture within this new world . " The use of the lemon and bee emojis increased due to the release of Lemonade , with a Twitter spokesperson telling '' Time : '' " Before '' Lemonade '' , the lemon emoji had no meaning . Since the launch of '' Lemonade '' , the emoji has taken on a meaning of its own " . The MTV Video Music Award for Breakthrough Long Form Video , which Beyoncé ultimately won at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards , was reintroduced after 25 years due to the '' Lemonade '' film
