See all the celebs who were horsing around at this equestrian event in Miami Beach

Miami Herald21-04-2025
Sting is a tough act to follow, but one rap legend gave it his best shot Saturday night in Miami Beach.
That would be Flo Rida, who closed out the Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach with a blowout concert. The tour is an event that showcases purebred Arabian horses and gives awards to the best horses and best handlers. The event, hosted by Quatar Airways, is obviously some next-level, one-percent kind of fun, and this year was its debut in Miami.
But it appears the international elite like to 'get low.' The Miami Gardens hip-hopper sang hit after hit on an elevated stage as dancers jumped around in sync on the sand. Flo's set included such classics as 'Club Can't Handle Me,' 'Wild Ones,' 'Right Round,' and, of course, 'Low.'
At the end of the dazzling fireworks show, amid laser beams shooting into the sky, DJ Khaled popped up for a surprise performance of 'All I Do is Win.'
Among the bold-faced names in the audience: 'Real Housewives of New York' alum Bethenny Frankel, 'Entourage' star Jeremy Piven, Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova, TV personality Terrance J and Miami mayor Frances Suarez, who was seen chatting with FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
.
Flo was later seen on someone's shoulders being led out into the audience, where he thanked his fans, grabbed their hands and posed for pics.
The chichi shindig, which welcomed over 100 elite horses and handlers from across the globe to compete, kicked off Thursday night with an iconic set by music legend Sting.
In the crowd that night: Jeff Bezos and his father Miguel Bezos, who were reportedly having a blast (no pun intended). At one point, the men began singing along with the rocker, who belted out such classics as 'Every Little Thing She Does is Magic,' 'Roxanne' and 'Message in a Bottle.'
'Jeff and his dad were adorable,' an onlooker told Miami.com.
Overall, the sold-out extravaganza (in which general admission tickets were snagged via lottery) was a success, and the venue, with the Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop, did not disappoint.
'The Miami Beach stage exceeded all expectations,' said Faleh Al Nasr, the tour's chair. 'We've brought the passion and artistry of Arabian horses to a global audience here, in a city that embraces culture, elegance, and excellence.'

Club World Cup Winners Stunned Over Sharing Stage With President Trump

The FIFA Club World Cup, founded in 2000, held its latest competition on American soil with Chelsea F.C. defeating Paris Saint-Germain F.C. 3-0 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. President Donald Trump was in attendance and met with both cheers and a chorus of jeers, with Chelsea players baffled that Trump hung out with the winners onstage, along with reportedly keeping a trophy for himself. The FIFA Club World Cup concluded on Sunday (July 13) with Chelsea sending shockwaves throughout the global football world by defeating the European champions in PSG. As Chelsea players celebrated the massive upset win, President Trump, alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino, handed over the Club World Cup trophy to the winners and was visibly instructed to step aside. Trump refused to do so, much to the confusion of the stars. 'I knew he was going to be here but I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy,' Cole Palmer said to PA Media in a post-match interview. Chelsea captain Reece James added, 'They told me that he was going to present the trophy and then exit the stage, and I thought that he was going to exit the stage, but he wanted to stay.' James also said he spoke with Trump but couldn't make out what he was saying fully due to the noise in the arena. 'To be honest it was quite loud. I couldn't hear too much. He just congratulated me and the team for lifting the trophy and told us to enjoy the moment,' James politely stated. It was perhaps not the reception the American president expected, what with boos raining down from the 81,000 in attendance. It wasn't all negative, as some fans stood and cheered for Trump. In another bizarre turn of events, Trump elected to keep the FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself, with Chelsea receiving a replica. Cole Palmer did receive the Gold Ball for his exploits on the pitch. No word yet if Trump had one given to him by FIFA as well. The Chelsea club won an estimated $114 million in prize money. On X, formerly Twitter, reactions to President Donald Trump joining in the festivities of the FIFA Club World Cup have come in. We've got those reactions listed below. — Photo: Getty Club World Cup Winners Stunned Over Sharing Stage With President Trump was originally published on

Trump celebrates golf tournament win and Chelsea FIFA Club World Cup win on same day

President Donald Trump went viral while celebrating on stage at the FIFA Club World Cup on July 13, the latest of several sporting events he has attended as president. Trump received boos and some cheers as he joined FIFA president Gianni Infantino on the pitch at MetLife Stadium, helping congratulate players and give some awards. Advertisement When the Chelsea players gathered to celebrate and raise the trophy, Trump remained among the players, one of whom admitted he was confused as to why Trump was still with them. Infantino eventually pulled Trump behind the players. It was an especially spotlighted role for the president, who has made sporting events a somewhat regular outing since taking back the White House. More: Trump claims to have won another golf championship, his fifth this year, at his New Jersey club What sports events has Trump attended as president? Much of Trump's domestic travel has been for sporting events, Newsweek reported. Here are some other events he has attended: Advertisement Super Bowl LIX - Trump became the first sitting president to attend the NFL championship game on Feb. 9, 2025. Daytona 500 - Trump attended the signature NASCAR event at Daytona Beach in Florida on Feb. 16, 2025. It was his second appearance at the event as president.

UFC Fight - Trump attended the UFC MMA match in Miami, Florida, on April 12, 2025. UFC Fight - Trump attended another UFC fight in Newark, New Jersey, on June 7, 2025. When he isn't a spectator, Trump hits the golf course Not only has Trump been a spectator at these high-profile sporting events, but the notorious golf-lover has spent time on the course himself. According to the president has spent 38 days golfing from his inauguration until at least June 21. The same day Trump attended the FIFA Club World Cup final, he boasted on Truth Social about winning the member-member championship at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey. It was the latest in a long line of tournaments that Trump has claimed victory in, even when the odds seemed impossible.

(The 2025 Club World Cup was a competition of professional clubs; the 2026 World Cup will be a competition of national teams.) Infantino and Trump appear to be getting increasingly close. Infantino was part of the large group that accompanied Trump on his first foreign trip this term to the Middle East, and he visited the White House, Pro Soccer Wire reported. FIFA recently announced it will open a new office in Trump Tower in New York City. Trump Tower has also housed other people involved with FIFA − an informant in the FIFA corruption scandal had two apartments: one for him and another for his cats, according to Pro Soccer Wire. Another person involved in the scandal spent his house arrest at Trump Tower, the outlet reported.
