Lemonade
When life had the sheer audacity to give Beyoncé lemons—in this case her husband Jay-Z's infidelity—she took them and made a generation-defining album that was somehow relatable and aspirational and kicked off cultural-shifting conversations about race, feminism and the music industry as a whole.
