Beyonce reunites Destiny's Child for final Cowboy Carter tour stop
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Beyoncé onstage Saturday night during the final show of the Cowboy Carter tour, their first performance together in seven years. The women walked out together, clad in gold, while singing Lose My Breath.
The trio performed a brief medley that included smash single Bootylicious and one of Beyonce's own songs, Energy.
It was a rare reunion for the group, which disbanded in 2006 to pursue solo careers. The last time they were onstage together was in 2018 for Beyonce's headlining set at Coachella.
Beyonce posted a photo of the women on her Instagram without a caption. The comment section was filled with love for the '90s group and the women's relationship after all these years.
'This is everything,' one comment said. 'Pure friendship, sisterhood and allowing us to share that with you all is truly incredible.'
The surprise performance excited both fans in the stadium and those on the internet. Some expressed disbelief over what they just witnessed and others outrage that they weren't there to see it for themselves.
'There are people who can say they've seen Destiny's Child live in 2025 and I'm not one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,' one X user wrote.
Even celebrities were excited about the surprise act. Bravo host Andy Cohen posted early Sunday that 'the Destiny's Child reunion videos are making my morning.'
Blue Ivy, the eldest daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z, took the stage right after the trio exited together. The 13-year-old has been dancing onstage for her mother's show all tour.
Many saw symbolism in her entrance just after Destiny's Child left the stage. Some on social media referred to the teen as the 'child of destiny.'
'Destiny's child passing the torch to Blue Ivy,' one person wrote. 'A historic moment.'

Beyonce reunites Destiny's Child for final Cowboy Carter tour stop
Crowds were jumpin' jumpin' in Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium after Beyonce surprised thousands of fans by briefly reuniting Destiny's Child. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Beyoncé onstage Saturday night during the final show of the Cowboy Carter tour, their first performance together in seven years. The women walked out together, clad in gold, while singing Lose My Breath. The trio performed a brief medley that included smash single Bootylicious and one of Beyonce's own songs, Energy.

Donald Trump claims Beyonce, Oprah broke law in Harris endorsement deal
Beyonce. Oprah Winfrey. Kamala Harris. US President Donald Trump has taken aim at the trio of influential women, saying they 'should be prosecuted' during a stunning late-night rant. Mr Trump took to Truth Social to unleash in a major way, posting the rant at 7.45pm Scotland time, where he is currently on a weekend golfing trip. Mr Trump alleged that Beyonce never sang despite being paid USD$11 (AUD$16) million to endorse Mrs Harris before her speech at a campaign rally in Houston, Texas. Mr Trump also highlighted amounts allegedly paid to talk show host Oprah and TV personality Reverend Al Sharpton. He also said the large amount of money spent by his Democratic opponents during the 2024 election will be reviewed, and that payment was 'probably illegally' made. 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for 'expenses', to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV 'anchor', Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely nothing!', Mr Trump posted on Truth Social. 'These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. 'Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW.' He continued: 'They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.' However, there's no evidence that those named in Mr Trump's post received payment for their endorsement by the Democratic campaign. Oprah previously said she 'was not paid a dime' for the appearance, however 'the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story'. The Harris campaign has also denied making any endorsement payment for Beyonce. Mr Trump has made similar allegations previously. In December, he wrote that 'Beyoncé didn't sing, Oprah didn't do much of anything (she called it 'expenses') and Al is just a third-rate conman'. He's also no stranger to using legal threats. Beyonce and Oprah aren't the only celebrities Mr Trump has criticised. Earlier this week, he addressed CBS' shocking decision to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, seemingly suggesting that other late night hosts should get a similar treatment. Of particular focus was his longtime critic, Jimmy Kimmel. 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!' Mr Kimmel and Mr Trump have reportedly been feuding for years. When Mr Trump won the presidency in 2024, Mr Kimmel called it a 'terrible night' for democracy and announced he was on Trump's 'list of enemies'.

How Nazeem Hussain and Melissa Leong turned ‘hot girl walks' into a TV road trip
While comedian Nazeem Hussain says almost all the locals were incredibly friendly as he travelled around with food critic Melissa Leong on their new television series, Great Australian Road Trips, there was one exception – an alpaca in Tasmania. 'People really just welcomed us with open arms, except for this damn alpaca,' Hussain says. 'Mel was like, come feed it. Maybe I was trepidatious, but the alpaca punished me for it by spitting directly in my eye. There was a time when I was considering veganism – never again. I am now on an exclusively alpaca diet. Alpaca on toast. Alpaca stew.' It was just one of many adventures they had during the making of the new six-episode docuseries, where Hussain and Leong go on three epic road trips, visiting the Red Centre Way, the Top End and Tasmania. Actor Claudia Karvan and comedian Steph Tisdell also appear as the other driving duo hopping behind the wheel in the remaining episodes. Leong says she and Hussain first met when she was doing the promo rounds after being announced as one of the new judges on MasterChef Australia. Their friendship deepened when they went on 'hot girl walks' during the pandemic. 'We've been friends for years,' Leong says. 'We've been trying to find the right, excuse the pun, vehicle for us to do something professionally. Then this came along, and I said: could I throw Nazeem's hat in the ring? Together we're quite diverse, and why not give us the opportunity to lead a couple of episodes where you have an Asian person and a brown person literally in the driver's seat meeting different parts of Australia.' While Hussain has toured many regional towns in his comedy career, he hadn't had the chance to explore those areas in depth. A self-described 'city slicker', he said the experience opened his eyes to the joy of the humble road trip. 'I would never have normally chosen to go to the places that we went. I'm a tech head. I love all my devices and crowded places with people. Getting out and about in non-built-up Australia was out of my comfort zone, but I now understand why people do road trips. Planes take you over, cars take you through. It's the best way to see Australia. It's good for the soul. It's like therapy, except there are kangaroos and red rocks along the way.' The pair share an easy camaraderie on the show, with the camera privy to the many hours they spent driving between destinations, bantering. On the road Hussain was the DJ, spinning Destiny's Child, Public Enemy and even some ABBA, while Leong had strong opinions about the best car snacks – carrots, cherry tomatoes, and of course, lollies are among her picks. More unexpectedly, Hussain says he was the 'granny' driver between them, while Leong leant more towards, in his words, a 'hoon'.
