Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams Have Destiny's Child Reunion at ‘Cowboy Carter' Concert
Beyoncé just closed out her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour with a bang — and staged a Destiny's Child reunion to celebrate. Beyoncé, 43, performed at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, July 26, where her former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams made a surprise appearance. Beyoncé rose from underneath the stage at one point, flanked by Rowland, 44, and Williams, 46, in now-viral social media footage. The trio coordinated in sparkling gold bodysuits as they performed hits like 'Bootylicious' and 'Lose My Breath.' Beyoncé even entrusted her longtime pals for the evening's 'Mute Challenge,' where the crowd is instructed to be completely silent before the song resumes. 'Just me and my crew,' Beyoncé quipped, switching up the lyrics. 'Big energy!' Beyonce Reunites With Destiny's Child at 50th Birthday Celebration for Kelly Rowland's Husband Long before kicking off her impressive and accolade-filled solo career, Beyoncé was a founding member of Destiny's Child alongside Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. After the latter two left the girl group in 2000, Williams came aboard. Destiny's Child officially disbanded six years later as Beyoncé, Rowland and Williams all went on to pursue solo careers. Beyoncé, Rowland and Williams have since reunited multiple times through the years, including at Beyoncé's 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and set at Coachella in 2018. Beyoncé's dad, Mathew Knowles, later hoped to see the girls perform together once more. 'I certainly hope so. I also understand that Kelly and Beyoncé are mothers and they have a family and that changes the dynamics,' Knowles, 73, exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2020. 'Each one of the ladies are successful in their own right. They all have their individual solo careers. So coordinating family, careers, that's a lot of juggling. I'm sure in due time the ladies will decide if that's what they want to do and if they do or do not as supportive as I could be as their manager.' Kelly Rowland Praises 11-Year-Old Blue Ivy's Work Ethic on Beyonce's 'Renaissance Tour': 'I'm Very Proud' He added, '[Their Coachella performance] shows how much they practiced, that 10 years later they cannot miss a beat. It's just remarkable. It shows that their dedication was really there. I know these ladies, they have strong work ethics. I'm extremely proud of all three of them.' Rowland is a mom of two, sharing sons Titan, 10, and Noah, 4, with her husband, Tim Weatherspoon. Beyoncé, meanwhile, shares daughter Blue Ivy, 13, and twins Sir and Rumi, both 7, with husband Jay-Z. Beyoncé's daughters, Blue and Rumi, have also both been frequent presences during performances of 'Protector' on the Cowboy Carter Tour. Solve the daily Crossword

Beyoncé ends tour with a bang in Vegas: Destiny's Child, Jay-Z, Shaboozey join her onstage
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter closed the curtain on her historic "Cowboy Carter" tour, delivering a final performance filled with surprises, special guests and power as she commanded the stage one last time. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her final concert at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on July 25. 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 signaled the end of her "Cowboy Carter" era, concluding the 32-stop stadium tour. 'Thank you and welcome! We have a very special show for y'all tonight,' Beyoncé said as she opened the show. And true to her word, surprise guests and performances lit up the night. Of course, 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 revolutionary spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and cultural commentary. Destiny's Child reunites onstage for surprise performance One of the biggest moments of the night came when Beyoncé brought out her former Destiny's Child group members for a surprise performance. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams stunned the crowd as they joined her onstage, delivering throwback hits like their 2001 anthem 'Bootylicious' and 2005 hit 'Lose My Breath.' The crowd erupted as the trio sang their individual parts and danced in sync with energy and chemistry. Shaboozey joins Beyoncé for surprise performance during her Las Vegas finale Another surprise came when Shaboozey took the stage and performed with Beyoncé for the first time during Saturday's show. "Give it up for Shaboozey y'all," Beyoncé said as he joined her onstage. Donning a white tank and American flag scarf and pants, he performed their hit 'Sweet Honey Buckin'' while Beyoncé sang and danced alongside him. Shaboozey was first spotted at Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour in Chicago, attending her second show at Solider Field on May 17. As the show ended, she gave him a special shoutout. As fans know, Beyoncé released her eighth studio album "Cowboy Carter" March 29. The country album has made history on multiple fronts and put a spotlight on Black country artists. Jay-Z joins Beyoncé onstage, once again, during final Vegas show Beyoncé also welcomed husband Jay-Z to the stage as they sang their 2003 song, "Crazy in Love." He followed it up with his 2011 hit, 'Ni**as in Paris.' Jay has joined Beyoncé several times on this tour, after first making a surprise cameo in Paris on June 22, and fans were still stunned to see him the final night. Once again, they sealed the performance with a kiss. Bey also brought back fan-favorite tracks from her 2013 self-titled album: "Partition" and "Drunk in Love." In addition to special guests and surprise performances there were other notable highlights from the finale. Beyoncé debuts new looks on final night, including 'Deja Vu' shirt Of course, Beyoncé's tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. During the final show, Beyoncé showcased even more fresh looks. One outfit, in particular, caught fans' eyes as she wore a 'Deja Blue' shirt in support of her 13-year-old daughter and lead dancer — Blue Ivy. Blue has left a lasting impression, often dancing front and center throughout the tour. This included a standout performance to Beyoncé's 2006 song 'Deja Vu.' Beyoncé receives standing ovations throughout the night from a roaring crowd As one might imagine, the night was charged with electric energy from start to finish. There were several standing ovations, loud cheers and moments where Beyoncé seemed to soak it all in. At one point she told the Vegas crowd they might actually be the loudest of the tour. 'I want y'all to know these tours take years and years and years. I actually started working on this tour before the 'Renaissance,'' she told the crowd before calling the night special. Earlier in the day, Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment company underscored the final concert's significance. "It's national day of the cowboy," the company posted on Instagram. "A tribute to the roots. A celebration of the style. And the final ride of the Cowboy Carter era. Today we honor the legacy of the Black cowboys who shaped this country — and the hive who showed up with pride, leather and the legacy in every look." The nine-city tour spanned the U.S. and Europe, captivating audience on both sides of the Atlantic.

Why Kelly Rowland told fans to 'shut up' during Beyonce's show
Destiny's Child reunited for the final show of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter 's $387.8M-grossing, 32-date Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour in Paradise, NV on Saturday night. The 43-year-old R&B diva, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams performed a medley of their early aughts-era tracks Lose My Breath and Bootylicious, but it was the moment they helped sing her 2022 track Energy which went viral. The disco-inspired song originated Beyoncé's 'Everybody on Mute' challenge, and Kelly (born Kelendria) waited five seconds before mouthing 'shut up' to the fans still screaming inside Allegiant Stadium. The 44-year-old R&B songstress then cracked a reassuring smile to let the audience know she wasn't truly upset. Destiny's Child last reunited for the November 21st opening of Michelle's Broadway musical Death Becomes Her at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in Manhattan. But the popular girl group - which quit in 2005 - hadn't performed live together since Knowles-Carter's headlining gig at California 's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2018. Rowland's passionate, hot-tempered nature regularly keeps her from attending her 10-year-old son Titan Jewell Weatherspoon's basketball games. 'I had to pull back from some of the games. I'm the spirited mom,' the four-time Grammy winner admitted on The Jennifer Hudson Show in January. 'My husband [Tim Weatherspoon]'s like, "You know, you should stay home this game. This team...I don't know what's going [to happen]." And I'm like, "Word?" It's really great though because it's teaching [Titan] sportsmanship.' Kelly and her 51-year-old ex-manager have also welcomed four-year-old son Noah Jon Weatherspoon, during her 11-year marriage. Last year, Rowland went viral when she stood up to a pushy female usher hurrying her off the red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Marcello Mio. 'Don't talk to me like that. Don't talk to me like that!' the Atlanta-born beauty told the security guard according to TikTok lip reader @tismejackieg. 'No, don't talk to me like that. You are not my mother, and you don't talk to me like that. I'm not a child, don't talk to me like that.' The unidentified staffer was also pictured scolding and putting her hands on Dominican actress Massiel Taveras and K-pop sensation Yoona on the red carpet. It came two months after Kelly walked off the set of TODAY after being 'offended' that Savannah Guthrie kept asking her about Beyoncé' rather than her own project during the 8am interview. Rowland was scheduled to fill in for Jenna Bush Hager in the fourth hour as guest host of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, but left Studio 1A at Rockefeller Center after she and her team were 'unhappy and felt disrespected' - according to TheWrap. The disco-inspired song originated Beyoncé's 'Everybody on Mute' challenge, and Kelly (born Kelendria) waited five seconds before mouthing 'shut up' to the fans still screaming inside Allegiant Stadium The 44-year-old R&B songstress then cracked a reassuring smile to let the audience know she wasn't truly upset The Building The Band judge will next serve opening act duties for Brandy and Monica's 27-date The Boy Is Mine Tour, which kicks off at Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, OH on October 16. Kelly will then coach series 14 of The Voice UK - premiering early 2026 on ITV1 - alongside Sir Tom Jones, as well as Tom Fletcher & Danny Jones. And last April, Rowland and Cliff 'Method Man' Smith co-starred in Linda Mendoza's upcoming rom-com Relationship Goals for Amazon MGM Studios, which is based on Michael Todd's 2020 bestselling novel. The My Fault producer-star - who boasts 43.6M social media followers - is also every bit the influencer with paid partnerships for brands like Lancôme, Jurassic World: The Experience, Airbnb, Infatuation Los Angeles, Pull-Ups, and Shiseido. Kelly - whose three-octave lyric mezzo-soprano pipes were last featured on Ayra Starr's 2022 Bloody Samaritan (Remix) - hasn't released a full-blown record since her fourth studio album Talk a Good Game in 2013.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is to set to light up Houston during the next stop of her "Cowboy Carter" tour. And fans are already braving scorching temperatures to witness the hometown opener.

Bridget and Meghan Ryan traveled to Houston from Wisconsin to see Beyoncé in concert for the first time. After several flight delays and scheduling hiccups, the sisters were determined to snag official merchandise ahead of Saturday's show. Like many other fans, they ended up standing in a long line in the heat. "We're both from the Midwest, so the humidity is a little extra than what we're used to. I figured staying hydrated would be a good plan,' said Bridget Ryan. "I think it was a come hell or high water kind of situation. Whatever the weather was going to do we were going to show." Their determination didn't stop there. "We even talked about if we don't get any today after sitting outside maybe we'll come back tomorrow and try the truck again,' Meghan Ryan said. The H-Town stop comes after Beyoncé wrapped the international leg of her tour – first with a six-night stint in London, followed by three dazzling nights in Paris. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with a 39-song set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary.

'I want to say thank you to everyone who has been loyal to me for more than 25 years.' The ATL stop — Bey's last Southern stop — comes after Beyoncé delivered two dazzling concerts at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C. The first show fell on the Fourth of July, with the follow-up performance taking place July 7. The holiday made for an especially significant night given the messages and motifs pertaining to country music, America's complex past and its ongoing cultural reckoning.
