Beyoncé surprises fans with Destiny's Child reunion at final Cowboy Carter show

Beyoncé brought the house down Saturday night at the final show of her Cowboy Carter tour in Las Vegas, surprising fans with a Destiny's Child reunion. The Grammy-winning artist closed out her tour Saturday night with the trio performing together for the first time in seven years. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Beyoncé stepped out in matching gold ensembles, thrilling the crowd with hits like "Lose My Breath," "Bootylicious," and Beyoncé's own song, "Energy." The chart-topping group went their separate ways in 2006 to pursue solo careers but have reunited a few times since, including during Beyoncé's halftime performance at the 2013 Super Bowl and at her 2018 Coachella headlining set, the latter of which was the most recent public performance together. After the show, Beyoncé shared photos of the reunion on Instagram, with fans flooding the comments to express their excitement and disbelief about the rare occasion. Following the Destiny's Child performance, Beyoncé's daughter, 13-year-old Blue Ivy, joined her mother onstage. Blue has been a regular dancer throughout the tour, making her own mark on the show. The Vegas show also featured several guest performances, with Beyoncé bringing out her husband Jay-Z and country singer Shaboozey for brief cameos. The Cowboy Carter tour, in support of Beyoncé's eighth studio album of the same name, kicked off in April at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The Las Vegas performance was the 32nd and final stop on the tour, which included a memorable show in Beyoncé's hometown of Houston, Texas, last month.

Beyoncé's surprise Destiny's Child reunion at Vegas concert has fans speculating about new album

Beyoncé delivered a surprise Destiny's Child reunion to close out the final night of her Cowboy Carter tour — and fans are theorizing it's a teaser of what's to come. The singing icon, 43, ended her epic three-month world tour, which was in support of her 2024 Grammy-winning Cowboy Carter album, in Las Vegas Saturday night. Just as the backtrack to her Renaissance song 'Energy' began playing, Beyoncé emerged from the stage alongside former Destiny's Child members, Michelle Williams, 46, and Kelly Rowland, 44. The music then transitioned to their 2005 smash hit 'Lose My Breath,' as the trio strutted across the stage. They followed with a mash-up of the two songs before bringing the house down with a rendition of their 2001 chart-topping track 'Bootylicious.' Beyoncé later celebrated the moment with a captionless Instagram photo of the three on stage. In the comments below, fans barely contained their excitement, with many declaring: 'This is everything.' Others, however, couldn't help but surmise that the reunion symbolized something bigger. 'What if Act 3 features EVERYONE she did music with,' one suggested, while a second begged: 'This better be Act iii (cause I still want that rock album lol).' Act III refers to the expected third album in Beyoncé's ongoing musical trilogy, following 2022's Renaissance and 2024's Cowboy Carter. Renaissance featured dance and house beats, while Cowboy Carter was rooted in country music. Fans have speculated that the highly anticipated third album will feature rock music. 'Act 3 is Destiny's Child omg,' another posted on X. 'What if act iii is Destiny's Child reunion tour. You know because there is 3 of them?' a second noted. 'Why she didn't perform DC3 in Houston?' a third questioned, 'which confirmed my suspicions that act:iii will be Rock.' 'Act 3 by @Beyonce is a reunion album with @KELLYROWLAND & @RealMichelleW,' a fourth insisted. 'It's a full circle but feel like it's going to be rock album.' Another said: 'Beyonce brought the girls out at the last concert !!! I'm telling yall that's gone be her final act !!! Dc3 Destiny's 3 or something!!!!! It has to be reboot of destiny childs …… end the trilogy with the TRILOGY YA FEEL ME.' Saturday's Destiny's Child reunion marked their first since Beyoncé's 2018 headlining set at Coachella. Formed in 1990 in Houston by Beyoncé, Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett, the girl group initially enjoyed limited success. They were eventually launched into the mainstream with the release of their 1998 song 'No, No, No,' and their best-selling second album, The Writing's on the Wall (1999), which included top hits, 'Bills, Bills, Bills' and 'Say My Name.' Roberson and Luckett were later replaced in 2000 by Williams and Farrah Franklin. The latter, however, quit after a few months, leaving the group a trio.

Beyoncé surprises fans with Destiny's Child reunion to cap off Cowboy Carter tour

Beyoncé brought the curtain down on her 'Cowboy Carter' tour with a surprise Destiny's Child reunion at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday. The stunned crowd roared when Beyoncé emerged on stage with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams announcing, 'Destiny's Child b—!' before the trio delivered a medley of their hits including the 2001 anthem 'Bootylicious' and 2004 hit 'Lose My Breath.' They also performed a version of Beyoncé's 2022 'Energy,' along with the song's viral 'mute challenge.' It was the first time the Grammy-winning singer had performed onstage with her former bandmates Rowland and Williams since 2018, when she played Coachella. The reunion left fans ecstatic, describing the moment as 'iconic' and 'legendary.' 'Y'all will never understand how iconic this is considering they're one of the most successful girl groups of all time,' wrote one on X. It also prompted some to speculate whether a more sustained Destiny's Child recoupling might be in the future. 'If this is a sign that destiny's child will go on tour they can 3x the rent, just make it happen,' wondered another fan on X. The reunion was an electric moment in a show full of charged moments. Shaboozey, Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' collaborator, also joined her to perform their hit 'Sweet Honey Buckiin'.' Jay-Z, who made a number of appearances with his wife during her nine-city, all-stadium tour, was in Las Vegas too, where they belted out their 2003 hit 'Crazy in Love,' ending the song with a kiss. The star wattage was high off-stage as well. 'Grand opening, grand closing! Here in Las Vegas with the cowboy crew to watch Beyoncé close out her historic Cowboy Carter tour!!' shared Gayle King on Instagram with photos alongside Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian. Also spotted in the crowd were actress Kerry Washington, Maya Rudolph and director Paul Thomas Anderson.
