Beyoncé kicks off international shows in London with Les Twins by her side
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter launched the international leg of her "Cowboy Carter" tour, and many fans were excited to see a set of special twins dancing behind her.
The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 5 London show on the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium around 7:39 p.m. local time — the earliest yet. And fans in the stadium and watching online were in for a treat when they noticed Les Twins — Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois — dancing onstage with her.
Fans instantly flooded social media with excitement. One fan wrote, "Omg they are back. I hope they come to the DC. show." Another exclaimed, "OMG THE TWINS," and many others cosigned.

Born in Sarcelles, France, Les Twins have become known as Beyoncé's other set of twins, along with her 7-year-old children Sir and Rumi Carter. Les Twins have collaborated with her on numerous occasions, dancing alongside her on major stages, tours and videos. Some of those include the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in 2013, Beychella in 2018 and the Renaissance World Tour in 2023.
On the "Cowboy Carter" tour, daughter Rumi has been making nightly appearances to wave to the crowd along with her sister, Blue Ivy Carter, during the song "Protector." Sir has not appeared, and neither had Les Twins, until June 5.
Until lo and behold they performed at the first international stop. It's unclear if they will remain throughout the duration of the tour.
Beyoncé was set to perform at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a total of six nights. She was poised to hit the stage June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 16. After her six-night stint, she will head to Paris for three nights.
As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary.

Taylor Swift's Physical Appearance While Attending Wedding With Travis Kelce is Turning Heads
Taylor Swift's Physical Appearance While Attending Wedding With Travis Kelce is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Pop star Taylor Swift stole the spotlight over the weekend, not with a performance, but with her stunning look at a private wedding she attended with boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs' star Travis Kelce. The couple was seen in Nashville, Tennessee, at Swift's friend's cousin's wedding, quietly enjoying time among friends and family. However, it was the 14-time Grammy winner's appearance that had fans buzzing online. Photos and videos from the event quickly spread on TikTok and X, showing the pop star in a sleeveless baby blue floral midi dress paired with brown wedges. But what caught fans' attention the most was her hair; styled in soft, loose curls. 'She looks so beautiful! Look at her hair!!' one fan wrote. 'I love the curls omg,' another posted. A fan chimed in, saying, 'HER CURLSSS, I'M IN LOVEEEE.' 'HER HAIR,' another simply said. Others were quick to make the connection to her early music era, with one person exclaiming, 'THE DEBUT CURLS ARE BACK.' One fan also pointed out how the moment felt extra special, writing, 'Yesss we love a pic that Taylor is aware of!! And the curly bangs.' One video showed Swift and Kelce swaying in their seats during the newlyweds' first dance. In the clip, Swift gently bumped Kelce to the beat, prompting a smile from the NFL star as he joined in. Kelce, dressed in a light olive green and white striped short-sleeved shirt and brown pants, kept things casual. A zoomed-in photo later showed Swift standing nearby, chatting with other guests while Kelce walked ahead. Swift and Kelce, who have been dating for nearly two years, have been spotted more often lately. They've had several public dinners in Palm Beach, Florida, and were seen together at Harry's Bar and Buccan just weeks ago. As the wedding video continues to gain views online, fans are showing love for the low-key, joy-filled moment shared by the story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Share 'Adorable Giggly' Date Night Before Chiefs Minicamp
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Share 'Adorable Giggly' Date Night Before Chiefs Minicamp originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce and Grammy winner Taylor Swift have kept their public appearances to a minimum ever since the Super Bowl loss. Waves of negativity came at the couple, and they have since retreated into the darkness and out of the public eye, and it seems to have benefited them well. And now the pair was spotted in Palm Beach, Florida, recently, as they enjoyed a casual date night before the NFL's offseason work properly begins for Travis. But we didn't know anything about what happened once the pair were inside the Buccan now. A woman named Pamela Goodman, a Swift superfan, who sat near the couple, spoke exclusively to Page Six, detailing what she saw from Travis and Swift on their date night. 'They were a giggly couple on a date. They were just adorable!' she said. Goodman also revealed there was a lot of laughing from the couple as they enjoyed their night out, which didn't have much fanfare. Of course, as word spread that the couple was out, fans gathered outside to see them leave the restaurant, but it was nothing like the couple had previously experienced. With Swift not touring in 2025, and Kelce aiming for this to be his final NFL season, it feels like it is going to be a big year for the couple who clearly have some relationship plans coming down the pipeline. Well, that's the thought of many anyway. Exactly what they are, we don't know, but it is clear that after a rough patch, Travis and Taylor are living their best lives.

Metallica's Smash Brings The Band To A Milestone For The First Time
Metallica's catalog is filled with the kind of rock smashes any band would be lucky to claim. The Grammy-winning group has produced more hits than most acts could ever dream of – especially in the hard rock space – but when it comes to pure purchases by American listeners, one title stands out above the rest. 'Enter Sandman' is a bestseller yet again in the United States. The track currently appears on a trio of Billboard rankings dedicated purely to sales, and this frame is especially notable for the tune. Metallica's timeless cut lifts one spot on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, earning its one-hundredth stay on the list of the bestselling rock-only tracks in the country. The track is so massively popular that it has spent more time on the tally than Metallica's other 13 charting successes combined. The group's second-longest running entry is 'Master of Puppets,' which so far has managed just seven appearances on the list. While 'Enter Sandman' is easily Metallica's longest-charting release on the Rock Digital Song Sales roster, it doesn't stand as the band's highest-peaking. Both 'Master of Puppets' and 'Lux Æterna' peaked at No. 2 in 2022. 'Enter Sandman,' meanwhile, stalled at No. 3 in 2021 and has yet to surge any higher. Metallica is one of just three acts on the 15-spot Rock Digital Song Sales chart at the moment that claims a more-than-100-week winner. 'Enter Sandman' joins 'The Sound of Silence' by Disturbed (329 weeks) and 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC, which this frame reaches 520 turns — exactly a decade — on the list. 'Enter Sandman' may be rising slightly on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, but that's actually the American tally where it performs the worst. It appears at No. 3 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs roster, and the tune also dips slightly to No. 5 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales list.
