Destiny's Child reunites for surprise performance during Beyoncé's final show in Las Vegas
The '90s girl group reunited onstage for a surprise performance during Beyoncé Knowles-Carter's final "Cowboy Carter" concert in Las Vegas.
The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her final concert at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on July 26. The concert marked her last of two back-to-back shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. It also served as the last of her 32 stadium concerts across the U.S. and Europe.
During the concert, fans were stunned when Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined the stage. The three women, formerly known as Destiny's Child, performed some of their beloved throwback hits, including their 2001 anthem "Bootylicious' and their 2005 hit 'Lose My Breath.'
Rowland and Williams even helped Beyoncé with her 'Renaissance'-favorite 'Mute Challenge,' and the moment felt especially special when they sang the lyrics, 'just me and my crew--big energy!'
"I cant believe I saw that with my own eyes. We literally just saw so much of Beyoncé's history onstage just now--her past, her present and her future," said one fan witnessing the show.
The famed girl group rose to fame in the 1990s with its original members Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. It eventually became a trio with Beyoncé, Rowland and Williams, who garnered much success before going their separate ways in 2006. They have stayed close friends over the years, each achieving success in their own creative careers. However, fans have been urging them to reunite.
In January of 2024, Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, revealed she received a private serenade from Destiny's Child for her birthday, teasing fans with the possibility of a main-stage reunion.
It's been years since the ladies have performed together publicly. In 2018, Beyoncé brought out the two ladies during her famous Coachella performance, where they sang some of their classics.
As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted the highly anticipated show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. The tour proved to be a revolutionary spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and cultural commentary.
The nine-city tour spanned the U.S. and Europe.

Reneé Rapp Is Anything but 'Shy' with 'Late Show 'Performance as She Climbs Out of a Window in Heels — Watch!
The 'Mean Girls' star's album 'Bite Me' is now available to streamNEED TO KNOW Reneé Rapp's dramatic rendition of "Shy" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is anything but that The Mean Girls actress' dramatic performance was New York City-coded from the exposed brick set and casual fire escape acrobatics Her new album Bite Me is available to stream, and she will embark on her tour in support of it in SeptemberReneé Rapp is anything but shy in her latest performance. The Mean Girls star appeared on the Thursday, July 31 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform "Shy" from her sophomore album Bite Me. Rapp, 25, sings on a set decorated like a small apartment before leaning backwards out of a brick window and gracefully climbing to the fire escape — while still carrying a tune and wearing heels. "Don't handle me with care / When you're pullin' my hair / Baby, ruin my life," she croons. "I want it bad, I swear / That I'm really not scared / I'm just a little bit shy." "Shy" appears on Rapp's new album Bite Me, which she announced in May and came out on Friday, Aug. 1. She spoke about how her mom manifested her becoming a pop star during an appearance on Amy Poehler's podcast Good Hang with Amy Poehler in May, thanks to her name's alliteration. "My mom chose my first and last name to be, well, okay, arguably chose my first and last name to both have [two letter R's]," she recalled. "She was like, 'Alliteration, just in case she wants to be a pop star' before I was born." Though Rapp admitted that her mom's decision was "conceited," she is "obsessed with the way [her mother] did it." "I'm like, thank you, God," she added. Poehler, 53, was impressed with how things came to be. "She gave you a pop star name just in case, because Reneé Rapp is a huge pop star name," the Parks and Recreation star said. Rapp, who released her album Snow Angel in August 2023, told PEOPLE about the inspiration behind the project. "All the songs I write obviously are about things that I've been through personally, but I think that any relationship I've ever had in my life is all culminated into one on this project and in these songs," she said at the time. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "I love relationships. I love so hard. I am very protective of the people that I love. I'm very protective of myself, and all of these situations were taken from relationships that I had, whether they be good or bad." She also said that Snow Angel featured a "really mature version of myself" with "a little more bite." "I think that a lot of my EP thematically had more of a, 'Oh, no, this is what's happening to me," Rapp said. "This is what I'm going through' thing, which is great, but I think that Snow Angel is a bit more resilient and it's a bit more matter of fact and has a little bit more bite." Up next for the Sex Lives of College Girls actress is a tour through North America in support of her latest album. Kicking off on Sept. 23, Rapp will stop in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta and Toronto, among other cities, through Oct. 29. Bite Me is available to stream.
