The trailer, released in April 2019, sent fans into a frenzy, as it featured scenes from the iconic performance along with intimate backstage moments of the musical icon with her family.

It also featured a voiceover from the late poet Maya Angelou, who says, "What I really want to do is be a representative of my race, of the human race.”

“I have a chance to show how kind we can be, how intelligent and generous we can be," the voiceover continues. "I have a chance to teach and to love and to laugh and I know that when I’m finished doing what I’m sent here to do, I will be called home.”

Moments like Blue Ivy practicing choreography with Beyonce and her dancers are also featured in the trailer, which has close to 2 million views.
