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.
