Because Beyoncé really does run the world, yesterday the Chosen One posted a teaser of the trailer for the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie to her Instagram. It features all of four shots of movie footage before ending with her super sultry cover of everyone's favorite part of "Crazy in Love" with all the "uh ohs."
