Beyoncé Surprises Fans With Epic Miley Cyrus Duet During Paris Concert
Following six massive (though, as was well-documented, not sold out) shows in London this month, Beyoncé brought her Cowboy Carter album to life in Paris for the first time on Thursday evening.
And to reward her fans in Paris for their patience – she brought out a surprise guest during the show.
'I'm so excited because I wanted to do something very special for you guys,' she told the crowd as the opening bars of her Miley Cyrus duet II Most Wanted began playing. 'I could not do it without this young lady's help, so I want you to scream as loud as you can.'
At that moment, Miley rose from underneath the stage to an ecstatic reaction from the audience, as Beyoncé hailed the singer as an 'icon' and said she was her 'biggest fan'.
'I'm so grateful to watch you, to sing with you, Miss Miley Cyrus,' Bey enthused, before launching into their Grammy-winning duet.

Beyoncé and Miley actually sang together once before, when they were part of the star-studded line-up of the Artists Stand Up To Cancer charity single Just Stand Up! back in 2008, which also included the likes of Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Fergie, Leona Lewis and Ciara.
Miley was one of several guest features on Beyoncé's Album Of The Year-winning Cowboy Carter, which also featured stars like Shaboozey and Post Malone, and spoken-word interludes from country music icons Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Linda Martell.
In an interview with GQ last year following Cowboy Carter's release, Beyoncé sang the former Hannah Montana star's praises once again, saying: 'I'm obsessed with my backseat baby.... I'm a Smiler.'

Watch Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé Perform ‘II Most Wanted' for the First Time
Miley Cyrus joined Beyoncé onstage at the Stade de France in Paris on Thursday night for the live premiere of 'II Most Wanted.' The two friends, both dressed in shimmering gold outfits, held hands as they belted the duet to throngs of screaming fans. Though this marks the first guest on the Cowboy Carter tour, the appearance wasn't entirely a surprise — Cyrus, who was in France for Spotify's Billions Club Live — had been seen at soundcheck before the show. The duet originally appeared on Cowboy Carter, and this performance was the first time Beyoncé had performed it on the tour, which launched in Los Angeles in April and is set to run through July 26. More from Rolling Stone Beyoncé Thanks Paul McCartney for 'Writing One of the Best Songs Ever Made' La-Di-Da-Di! Eighties Hip-Hop Great Slick Rick Is Back With 'Victory' Miley Cyrus on How She Fixed Her 'Messy' Family Relationships After 'Dark' Decade 'To be beside such a humble, gracious, legendary DIVA was a dream come true,' Cyrus shared on X after the performance. 'Thank you for the opportunity to perform in Paris together & sing our song about friendship. To have learned from you & loved you my whole life, & then be standing together in matching gold looks is more than I could've imagined. As the finale to this trip supporting Something Beautiful, to close on something as beautiful as a stadium full of people singing '2 Most Wanted' with us was the ultimate firework.' She added, 'Thank you B. I'll be your shotgun rider for life. Big gratitude to the Cowboy Carter tour crew, you all were incredible for making this happen. Forever and always.' The track, co-written by the two artists, ended up on Beyoncé's country album after the 'Crazy in Love' singer hit Cyrus up to see if she might want to contribute. 'I wrote that song, like, two and a half years ago,' Cyrus told W magazine last year. 'My mom would always go, 'I love that song so much.' So when Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship. I told her, 'We don't have to get country; we are country. We've been country.' I said, 'You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.' Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyoncé was a dream come true.''
