Beyoncé wishes Jay-Z happy Father's Day, honors dads during fifth show in London
Beyoncé wishes Jay-Z happy Father's Day, honors dads during fifth show in London Beyoncé Knowles-Carter delivered her fifth show on her "Cowboy Carter" tour in London, and she took a moment to wish husband Jay-Z happy Father's Day and honor all the fathers in the building before the night ended. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 14 show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium around 7:41 p.m local time. The show marked her fifth of six shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. Her last show in London is set to take place June 16, before Beyoncé heads to Paris for three nights. She started the show thanking fans for their loyalty and support for her nearly three-decade career. "Every time I see all of you guys dressed up and your beautiful signs, I just feel so much gratitude inside," she told the roaring crowd as she opened the show. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. And Saturday's concert was no different as she debuted more looks and delivered a high-powered show. Toward the end of the show, Beyoncé made sure to honor Father's Day, which takes place June 15. "I want to wish all the fathers a very, very happy Father's Day," she said, and then she took a moment to give the hip-hop mogul a special shoutout as she held up the Roc diamond hand symbol, as a reference to Jay-Z and his entertainment company Roc Nation. During her fourth show in London, Beyoncé also took a moment to wish her twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, a happy birthday onstage. She promoted fans to join in the sweet moment as Rumi stood on stage. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
