They followed with Bey's 2022 Renaissance track "Energy" before closing with Destiny's Child 2001 anthem "Bootylicious," marking the first time the three-piece had performed the hit live since their appearance at Beyonce's Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2013, according to Billboard.

Although the trio officially disbanded in 2006, they reunited for high-profile performances at the 2013 Super Bowl and Beyonce's Coachella headline show in 2018. The trio also reunited offstage in 2023, when former members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett shared backstage images at Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour.

Destiny's Child, Beyonce's final Cowboy Carter Tour featured surprise appearances from Shaboozey -- who joined her for a medley of "Sweet Honey Buckiin'," "Pure/Honey," and "Summer Renaissance" -- and her husband, Jay-Z, who performed "N--s in Paris" solo and teamed up with Beyonce for "Crazy in Love," as per the outlet. "Don't ever ask permission for something that already belongs to you," Beyonce told the audience near the end of Saturday's show, according to Rolling Stone. "God bless you, drive home safe, thank you for tonight! Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this a reality. I'm so deeply grateful." Kris Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Tyler Perry, and Oprah Winfrey attended the show. Bey's tour concluded after a series of high-profile stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Houston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Las Vegas, reported Billboard. (ANI)
