After performing 31 shows across Europe and the states, Beyonce took to the stage for her final show of the worldwide Cowboy Carter Tour.
But as she wrapped up her performances to a sold-out crowd in Vegas, Queen Bey sent her fans into a frenzy with a special surprise performance.
The trio took to the stage together for the first time since their Coachella reunion in 2018.
Her loyal fans went wild as the famous noughties group sported co-ordinated sparkly gold ensembles.
They strutted down the stage as the music for 'Lose My Breath' blared out to tens of thousands of Beyoncé's biggest fans.
Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle sang a mashup of some of their most popular tracks which also included 'Bootylicious' on Saturday night.
Videos going round social media also show Beyoncé participating in her famous mute challenge with her 'Independent Women' bandmates.
This was during her song 'Energy' from her Renaissance album that was released in 2022.
All three members of the group took to their respective profiles on social media the following morning to commemorate the special occasion.
Kelly captioned her image with three black heart emojis, whilst Michelle wrote: "The Chil'ren!", along with a shooting star.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Williams also left a comment in one of the snaps which read: "We'll tell y'all next time!! SIKE!!"
This was as Beyoncé uploaded multiple snaps of the trio in a mini-album in two separate posts.
For the grand finale of the tour, Beyoncé also brought out her husband Jay Z and Shaboozey at different points of the evening.
This was a culmination of her performances across the globe, which started in April and supported her Grammy-winning album of the same name.

Janet Street Porter reveals which Loose Women panellists are safe from ITV cuts as show faces biggest ever shake up
Producers have also decided to drop the live studio audience next year in a major shake up CUT LOOSE? Janet Street Porter reveals which Loose Women panellists are safe from ITV cuts as show faces biggest ever shake up JANET Street Porter has revealed which Loose Women panellists are safe amid ITV budget cuts. In May, The Sun revealed that the daytime show will return in 2026 with a reduced run of just 30 episodes. 3 Janet Street Porter has revealed which panellists are safe amid ITV budget cuts Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 The Sun revealed that show will return in 2026 with a reduced run of just 30 episodes Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Janet said the 'older' panellists will be safe unlike younger newcomers Credit: Shutterstock Editorial It follows broader budget reductions across the channel, which also include halving Lorraine's airtime to 30 minutes and airing it only during school term times. Now long-term Loose Women panel member Janet, 78, has hinted that "older" members of the team are safe, but younger newcomers are likely to face the chop. "There are no plans to get rid of the older women despite of what some people have said," Janet insisted. "In fact, the reserve is true. "ITV actually put out a statement saying we are the valued members of the show because the audience totally relates to us." Janet, who joined the panel in 2011, continued to Bella Magazine: "I think Loose Women has become a programme that is trusted by a lot of women because we talk about the issues that they are concerned about - whether it's female health, domestic violence, or how politicians don't really understand working women. "I think the show has managed to connect women who wouldn't otherwise have a voice. "And it's delivered with a lot of laughs because we don't take ourselves too seriously." Last month it was revealed that producers had decided to drop the live studio audience next year as part of a series of cost-cutting changes to its daytime programming. However, the change has prompted concern among production staff and presenters, including Ruth Langsford, Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha and Charlene White, who rely on audience reactions to shape the tone of the live discussions. Loose Women star admits she is 'absolutely devastated' and 'can't get over it' as her friend and co-star has been axed in brutal ITV cutbacks A source told MailOnline: "The panelists are really upset over the decision to axe the live studio audience from the show. "It's what sets the series apart from the rest of ITV daytime and now there are massive fears that viewers will switch off completely. "The only concern now is to cut costs and having a live studio audience can be expensive, with the added need for security and a warmup artist. "Presenters already know how it feels to broadcast the show without an audience because that's what happened during the pandemic, and they all know it creates low mood and lack of atmosphere." An ITV source told The Sun: "While there is a proposal to not have a studio audience for Loose Women from 2026, that doesn't necessarily mean that we'll never have a studio audience again, it just won't be in the same way as it is now. "At this stage we are still exploring new ways of working and producing the show when we move to a new studio next year." Last month, Kaye Adams broke her silence on the chaos at Loose Women, admitting she's had sleepless nights over the cuts. Speaking on her podcast, How To Be 60, Kaye said she felt as though 'the rug had been pulled' from underneath her. The 62-year-old confessed: 'It did come out of the blue. "I didn't anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life. "I had a couple of sleepless nights I have to say, because it's just like the rug's been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar.' Kaye, who is one of Loose Women's main anchors, said: 'It's going to have an impact. Lots of people will lose their jobs completely which is terrible. It's a huge change. 'But I gave myself a talking to and I listened to my own advice for once – change is hard, but it can be good. 'The past is a trap, don't fear the future – I'm telling myself all these things. And maybe this is the nudge that I needed to make some changes in my life and I'll just have to go with it.' It has been rumoured that the pool of Loose Women panellists will be reduced as part of the cutbacks, which will be introduced from January. So far none of the hosts know if their livelihoods are at stake. It is not yet known whether younger panellists, such as former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood, 34, and influencer GK Barry, 25, will be favoured over veteran stars including Janet Street-Porter, 78, and Jane Moore, 63.

CNN fact-checks Trump's Beyoncé $11 million payment claim
A CNN fact check poured cold water on President Donald Trump's claim that Kamala Harris' campaign paid megastar Beyoncé $11 million for an endorsement. The famous singer endorsed Harris at a campaign rally in Houston just weeks before the election last November in a last-minute bid to jolt support for the Democratic nominee. Trump has alleged that Harris's political team illegally paid for the support, and that they should be prosecuted for it. 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the presidential e lection , and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, eleven million dollars to singer Beyoncé for an endorsement (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!)' Trump wrote on Saturday. The Truth Social post also alleged that Oprah Winfrey was paid $3 million for 'expenses' and MSNBC's Al Sharpton was given $600,000. 'These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records,' Trump claimed. 'You are not allowed to pay for an endorsement. It is totally illegal to do so. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, broke the law. They should all be prosecuted!' However, an article from CNN's fact checker Daniel Dale asserted that Trump's allegation was baseless. Evidence of the $11 million payment has not been reported. The White House did not respond to the Daily Mail's request for evidence of the multi-million dollar payment. Harris' campaign has denied paying for endorsements and Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, has called the allegations a 'lie.' 'Beyonce did not receive a penny for speaking at a presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harrris' (sic) Rally in Houston,' Knowles wrote on her Instagram. According to an Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing , Harris' campaign payed the signer's production company, Parkwood Production Media, $165,000 for 'campaign event production.' Additionally, a spokesperson for Harris' campaign said last year that the political operation did not pay for celebrity endorsements, but they did concede that they had to cover costs associated with the production, like staff and equipment. Another denial came when a spokesperson for Beyoncé told PolitiFact last year that the claim the singer was paid millions was 'beyond ridiculous.' Harris' campaign paid a non-profit led by Sharpton a total of $500,000, FEC filings show. The Democrat's political operation also paid Harpo Productions, a company owned by Oprah, $1 million for a live stream event. Trump last spoke about the alleged endorsement payment in February. 'They go out and they pay Beyoncé, as an example. Somebody just showed me something. They gave her $11 million,' the president said at the time. In a May post on Truth Social the president again slammed the alleged payment to Beyoncé while also suggesting that Bruce Springsteen accepted money for his performance at a Harris rally.

Love Island star Harry's best friend reveals what WASN'T shown on TV including banned item in the villa
Shakira has made one thing very clear with Harry more to say Love Island star Harry's best friend reveals what WASN'T shown on TV including banned item in the villa Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star Harry Cooksley's best mate Harry Hugo has revealed what wasn't shown on TV when the Islanders were reunited with their loved ones last night. In Monday night's episode of Love Island, the stars were treated to visits from family and friends ahead of Sunday's final.

Writing on social media after the episode, Harry Hugo said: 'The clip that I said to Helena that it would have never worked romantically with her and Harry - they were just great mates on a holiday romance but their banter is the same. 'That's why she'd fit into our wider friendship group (of 8 couples). It 100% wasn't me telling her she'd be a better fit than Shakira. I said the opposite to her face.' He continued: 'Both Julia and I called Harry out for his behaviour and him being inconsiderate of others' feelings with his actions.' Harry also told how Shakira has 'banned' Harry from wearing his infamous Speedo swimwear. He said: 'We joked and laughed with Shakira and her family about Harry's dreadful wardrobe and Speedos. She has since banned him from wearing them.' Addressing Harry and Shakira's recent reunion, he added: "It was clear spending an hour with them that they are really into each other and I can't wait to see how he tries to make amends." Shakira and Harry have recoupled after the infamous Grafties awards revealed he was trying to get back close to her despite being with Helena. And Shakira's mum Sukina revealed it's only her daughter he'll need to make things up to. Shakira told her mum and sister: "I adore him and I really wish I didn't, that's the problem. It would be easier if I hated him, but I don't." Harry's football team under fire after 'disgusting' video branding Love Island's Shakira 'a nosey b---h' And Sukina replied: "What I will say, with him, he can prove himself to you before he has to prove himself to me."
