Beyoncé lights up Paris again on Night 2: New dazzling looks, more special guests
The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 21 show at Stade de France in Paris around 8:36 p.m local time. The show marked the second show at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to hit the stage for the third and final time June 22.
'Y'all are absolutely stunning. Thank you guys for having us tonight. Thank y'all for being here tonight," Beyoncé said as she opened the show. "I'm so thankful for your loyalty for almost 30 years."
Beyoncé first launched her tour in Paris on Juneteenth, when fans planned a powerful display at her concert to commemorate the holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States.

The night was made especially special when Beyoncé brought out Miley Cryus and the two women sang their beloved duet "II Most Wanted." Dressed in all gold, the Grammy-winning singers held hands and the crowd went wild as Cryus approached the stage.

Quinta Brunson leads 'Zootopia 2' trailer as Judy and Nick head to therapy: Watch
After nearly a decade, "Zootopia" is finally hopping back to theaters. Disney has dropped the first full trailer for "Zootopia 2," the highly anticipated animated sequel to its Oscar-winning 2016 hit. The footage features Quinta Brunson as the voice of a quokka therapist, Dr. Fuzzby, who leads a group therapy session for dysfunctional police partners. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) attend the session just one week after officially becoming partners. Judy insists their being there is a misunderstanding, but Dr. Fuzzby isn't buying it. The second half of the footage lays out the sequel's plot, which involves Judy and Nick being handed an important assignment involving a snake that has arrived in Zootopia — even though, according to Nick, no snake has set foot in the city "in forever." Watch 'Zootopia 2' trailer: In the movie, Judy and Nick's partnership is put to the "ultimate test when they find themselves on the twisting trail of a mystery tied to the arrival of a venomous snake in the animal metropolis," Disney's plot synopsis says. Who else is returning for 'Zootopia 2'? Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan has joined the sequel's cast as Gary De'Snake, while returning stars include Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, Nate Torrence as Clawhauser, Jenny Slate as Bellwether, Alan Tudyk as Duke Weaselton, Tommy Chong as Yax and Shakira as pop star Gazelle. And yes, the DMV sloth is back, too. The original "Zootopia," set in a city where various species of anthropomorphic animals live together, is one of Disney's biggest hit animated movies of the past decade. It grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office and won the Academy Award for best animated film. We definitively rank Disney's live-action remakes, 'Lilo & Stitch' included 'Zootopia 2' release date "Zootopia 2" will be Disney's latest animated sequel, hoping to make a splash around the Thanksgiving holiday. It will hit theaters on Nov. 26, 2025. In 2023, "Moana 2" set a record for the biggest Thanksgiving weekend box office opening of all time and went on to sail past the $1 billion mark at the global box office. The definitive ranking of all 29 Pixar movies (including 'Elio') "Zootopia 2" should allow Disney to bounce back from the failure of its original animated film "Elio," which disappointed at the box office in June with the lowest opening weekend in Pixar history domestically. After "Zootopia 2," Disney has the animated sequels "Toy Story 5" and "Ice Age 6" scheduled for 2026, while "Frozen 3" is set for 2027.
