Beyoncé Reunites With Destiny's Child during Final Cowboy Carter Show in Las Vegas
Yara Sameh Destiny's Child returned for one exceptional night. During the final stop of her Cowboy Carter Tour at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium, Beyoncé surprised fans by reuniting onstage with former group members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, marking their first performance together in seven years. 'Destiny's Child, b—t!' Bey shouted to a roaring crowd after briefly disappearing from the stage, then returning with Rowland and Williams as their hit 'Independent Women' began to play. The surprise reunion arrived during the Renaissance segment of the show, as the trio kicked off a medley of iconic hits with their 2004 hit 'Lose My Breath,' a song they hadn't performed together since Beyoncé's Coachella headlining sets in 2018. They followed with Bey's 2022 Renaissance track 'Energy' before closing with Destiny Child's 2001 anthem 'Bootylicious,' marking the first time the three-piece had performed the hit live since their appearance at Beyoncé's Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2013. After the show, Beyoncé took to Instagram to share a photo of herself smiling onstage with Rowland and Williams by her side. Rowland and Williams also posted snapshots from the iconic moment on their respective IG accounts. Since their debut in 1997, Destiny's Child has cemented its status as one of the most successful and influential girl groups in music history. Although the trio officially disbanded in 2006, they reunited for high-profile performances at the 2013 Super Bowl and Beyoncé's Coachella headlining set in 2018. The iconic trio also reunited offstage in 2023, when former members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett shared backstage snapshots from Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour. In addition to Destiny's Child, Beyoncé's final Cowboy Carter Tour show 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 Beyoncé for 'Crazy in Love.' 'Don't ever ask permission for something that already belongs to you,' Beyoncé told the audience near the end of the show. '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.' Attendees in the VIP section at the Las Vegas finale included Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, Tyler Perry, and Oprah Winfrey, TMZ reports. Bey's tour concluded after high-profile stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Houston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Las Vegas. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Beyoncé delivered a stunning surprise at the final show of her 'Cowboy Carter' Tour in Las Vegas on Saturday, 26 July. The global superstar reunited with her former Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, for a memorable performance. Midway through the concert, Beyoncé disappeared briefly from the stage, according to People . Moments later, she reappeared from below, joined by Kelly, 44, and Michelle, 46, as the iconic anthem Independent Women blared through the arena. Beyoncé electrified the audience by exclaiming, 'Destiny's Child, b—!' before the trio strutted the stage together. They launched into a medley of their classic hits, including Lose My Breath , Energy , and the fan-favourite Bootylicious . They closed the set with a warm embrace that symbolised their enduring sisterhood. This reunion marked the first time the trio had performed together since their 2018 Coachella appearance. They thrilled fans who had eagerly awaited such a moment. Beyoncé later urged the crowd to 'Give it up for Destiny's Child!' as they exited the stage. This cemented the evening as a highlight of her tour. Destiny's Child, originally formed in Houston in the early 1990s, rose to international fame with hits like Say My Name and Survivor . The group's journey through changes in lineup ended with the trio of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, who dominated the early 2000s with their blend of R&B and pop. Their final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled, was released in 2004. Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour, supporting her eighth studio album, covered over 30 cities across the United States and Europe. She had shows in major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Houston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and the grand finale in Las Vegas. Notably, the tour included surprise guest appearances, including Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z and rising star Shaboozey. The reunion also followed several recent sightings of Michelle and Kelly supporting Beyoncé during her tour stops, further building anticipation. Michelle was seen at the Washington, D.C. concert in early July, while Kelly attended the show in Paris in June. The triumphant reunion in Las Vegas reaffirmed the unbreakable bond of Destiny's Child. Beyoncé's closing act was a celebration of legacy, energy, and unity, a message that resonates strongly across the vibrant music scene. As Beyoncé herself put it on stage, 'Look around, it's me and my crew. Big energy!' This extraordinary event was also shared on Beyoncé's social media, where a radiant photo of the trio in shimmering gold ensembles captured the emotion of the night. Michelle tenderly kissed Beyoncé's cheek in the image, a symbol of the genuine warmth between the artists.

Independent Women's Forum bus allegedly egged at New Mexico event with Linda McMahon in attendance
The Independent Women's Forum (IWF) alleged their custom tour bus was egged at an event in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Tuesday. The group held a stop on its bus tour to celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the Title IX, featuring an appearance by U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon. The group was showing off its new custom Title IX-themed bus decorated with the slogan "HER GAME HER LEGACY." It even had little hand-written messages and signatures on the side, including McMahon's. But the group alleged the bus was vandalized with eggs during their stop. Photos obtained by Fox News Digital showed a litter of eggshells under the bus, with some stains on the surface. IWF vice president of communications Victoria Coley addressed the alleged incident in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Following our 'Her Game. Her Legacy' event honoring the 53rd anniversary of Title IX and generations of female athletes, our tour bus—clearly branded to celebrate women's sports—was targeted and vandalized with eggs. The individual came dangerously close to hitting me directly. We have filed a police report, and security cameras captured the suspect in the act," the statement read. "In recent days, agitators in Santa Fe have made our event and state-wide bus tour a focal point for harassment, but let me be clear: Independent Women will not be intimidated. We will never back down from protecting women's sports, defending sex-based rights, and standing up for female athletes across this state and this country. Our 'Her Game. Her Legacy.' bus tour will continue to all 33 counties of New Mexico—unshaken and undeterred." Fox News Digital filed a records request with the Santa Fe Police Department for the police report. Documents provided by Ithe ndependent Women's Forum show a case was opened. The alleged egging wasn't the only interruption to the event either. The IWF had to maneuver an emergency last-minute venue change after the previous host site expressed disagreement with the group's principles, the IWF announced in a press release. Still, multiple key speakers delivered remarks at the event, headlined by McMahon and former high school volleyball player-turned-activist Payton McNabb. "I thought it was unfortunate, but I have to say the event was actually incredibly good," McMahon told Fox News Digital of the venue change. "I'm sure for the event managers of the event, it was chaos for them, but as far as I was considered, it was seamless." A similar incident involving an IWF bus occurred in July 2024, Fox News Digital previously reported. The group held a rally in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and found when they were set to leave, they found their bus "egged & defaced with profanity and anti-woman messages" by "overnight vandals." "Radical gender ideologues on a mission to erase womanhood seek to keep us quiet. WE WON'T BACK DOWN. WOMEN WON'T BE SILENT," the group wrote on X. Messages from the vandals included "Hate Group," "Trans women are women," "f--- transphobia," and "Bigots on board."

Young woman who regrets gender transition celebrates Supreme Court decision on youth trans treatments
A young woman who regrets trying to change her gender as a troubled teenager celebrated Wednesday's landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding a Tennessee law banning transgender medical treatments for minors. "I'm really grateful," Independent Women's Ambassador Prisha Mosley told Fox News Digital. Mosley, 27, is part of the growing community of young people who are speaking out about their regrets after undergoing medical treatments to treat their gender dysphoria. After being prescribed puberty blockers and testosterone as a teen and having a double mastectomy, Mosley feels medical professionals preyed on her vulnerability and treated her as an "experiment." As an ambassador for the conservative group Independent Women, she's provided testimony advocating for states, including Tennessee, to enact legislation to stop medical providers from assisting in the gender transition of children. Scotus Rules On State Ban On Gender Transition 'Treatments' For Minors In Landmark Case Mosley told Fox News Digital she wasn't that surprised by the ruling, as she considered the plaintiffs' case weak. Read On The Fox News App "The arguments were not good on the side of this type of harm for minors," she recalled. "And their representation from the ACLU had to admit under oath that 'gender-affirming care' does not even reduce the suicide rate for anyone." Mosley has taken legal action against the medical professionals she says pushed her into gender transition as a teen when she struggled with mental illnesses, including anorexia, OCD, suicidal thoughts and trauma from being raped. She was about 16 years old when she started socially transitioning after being convinced by transgender activists online that she was unhappy because her "body was fighting to be a boy." At 17, medical professionals affirmed this belief and quickly put her on puberty blockers and testosterone. The Supreme Court Did The Right Thing. I Know Because I Was Part Of A Horrifying Gender Transition. She later underwent a double mastectomy and now faces chronic pain and major health problems due to these treatments. She's spent the last several years warning others of the dangers and devastating consequences that can result from hormones and sex reassignment surgeries. "They're completely irreversible. It's impossible to actually have a sex change which children are duped into believing they're having by activists, doctors who are lying. And they lie to you along the entire way with euphemisms and a refusal to use actual medical terminology, but a sex exchange never takes place. All you transition into is a less healthy version of yourself with the same problems that brought you to reject your sex," Mosley told Fox News Digital. She dismissed headlines from some media outlets Wednesday decrying the ruling as a "setback" or "new attack" on transgender rights. Detransitioner Slams Trans 'Psuedoscience' That Doctors Said Would Solve Her Mental Distress: 'It's Quackery' "It's insincere," she reacted to the media coverage. "This ruling is good for people, for children who identify as trans too." She argued the law would protect children who've been caught up in a "social contagion" from being pressured into medical treatments that could leave irreparable changes to their bodies. "And in states that have banned this type of care, they're going to be lawfully protected from doctors who would take advantage of them in their vulnerable state while they have strange beliefs and take away their health and their body parts. And it's now lawful to ban doctors from doing that," she continued. At issue in the case, United States v. Skrmetti, was whether Tennessee's Senate Bill 1 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That law prohibits states from allowing medical providers to deliver puberty blockers and hormones to facilitate a minor's transition to another sex. It also targets healthcare providers in the state who continue to provide such procedures to gender-dysphoric minors— opening these providers up to fines, lawsuits and other liability. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) asked the Supreme Court to hear the case on behalf of the parents of three transgender adolescents and a Memphis-based doctor who treats transgender patients. The court upheld the Tennessee law in a 6-3 ruling. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said, "The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements. Nor does it afford us license to decide them as we see best. Our role is not 'to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic' of the law before us… but only to ensure that it does not violate the equal protection guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment. Having concluded it does not, we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process."
