Beyoncé reunites Destiny's Child for final 'Cowboy Carter' tour date
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Beyoncé on stage at the final show on the "Cowboy Carter" tour on Saturday night, their first performance in seven years. The women walked out together, clad in gold, while performing "Lose My Breath."
The trio performed a brief medley that included smash single "Bootylicious" and one of Beyoncé's own songs, "Energy."
It was a rare reunion for the group, which disbanded in 2006 to branch out into their own solo careers. The last time they were on stage together was in 2018 for Beyoncé's headlining set at Coachella.
Beyoncé posted a photo of the women without a caption on her Instagram. The comment section was filled with love for the former 90's 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."
Obviously, the surprise performance excited both fans in the stadium and all over the internet. There was disbelief over what some people just witnessed and outrage from others who 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 over 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 Beyoncé and Jay Z, took the stage right after the trio left the stage together. The 13-year-old has been dancing on stage for her mother's show all tour.

Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER TOUR Breaks the Bank as Highest-Grossing Country Tour in History
Last Saturday night in Las Vegas, Beyoncé did not just end a tour. She ended an era. With a final, thunderous performance at Allegiant Stadium, Beyoncé officially closed the curtain on her history-making COWBOY CARTER TOUR, a 32-date spectacle that has now gone down as the highest-grossing country tour of all time. In true Beyoncé fashion, the final night was no ordinary closing show. The Queen Bey pulled every conceivable stop, inviting JAY-Z, Destiny's Child, and Shaboozey to join her for a celebration that will be studied in music history books and worshipped in pop culture archives for decades to come. And the crowd? Electrified. Allegiant Stadium's sold-out capacity let out a roar so deafening during the surprise guest appearances that it practically lifted the roof off the Las Vegas Strip. Crowning Glory: The Tour by the Numbers Produced by Parkwood Entertainment and promoted by Live Nation, the COWBOY CARTER TOUR wasn't just a concert. It was a global movement. In just nine cities across three continents, Beyoncé shattered records that have stood for years and in some cases, decades. According to Billboard, the tour: Grossed over $400 million, making Beyoncé the first woman and first American act with two separate tours to break that benchmark Extended her reign as the highest-grossing Black artist and the highest-grossing R&B artist of all time Broke 30+ stadium records across North America and Europe, including SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles), MetLife Stadium (New Jersey), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London), and Stade de France (Paris) A staggering 1.5 million+ fans attended across 32 sold-out shows. Each performance unfolded as a multi-sensory experience, nearly 3 hours long, featuring 42 songs, three flying stage props (including a mechanical golden horse and a convertible lowrider), and a custom star-shaped stage design outfitted with robots, pyrotechnics, and immersive lighting. The Final Rodeo: Las Vegas Lights Up Beyoncé's Las Vegas finale on July 26 was a cinematic climax to an already-unforgettable tour. The Beyhive had been speculating for weeks, and Beyoncé delivered on every rumor and dream. JAY-Z joined her for a steamy, soul-shaking performance of 'Drunk in Love.' Destiny's Child (yes, all of them—Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and Queen Bey herself) took us back with a pitch-perfect medley of 'Say My Name,' 'Survivor,' and 'Lose My Breath.' Shaboozey, the genre-defying artist who featured on Beyoncé's Grammy-winning COWBOY CARTER album, tore the stage apart with his hit 'Spaghetti.' Las Vegas didn't just get a concert. It got a coronation. COWBOY CARTER: An Era-Defining Spectacle If Renaissance was a celebration of Black futurism and disco-drenched liberation, COWBOY CARTER was Beyoncé's rebellious reclamation of American music history. Fusing country, soul, rock, folk, and hip-hop into a fearless reimagination of Americana, Beyoncé crafted a show that critics and fans agree was one of the most ambitious live undertakings in pop history. GQ called the tour '(Once Again) A Reassertion of Beyoncé as Our Greatest Living Performer.' The Telegraph gave her Tottenham Hotspur Stadium show a rare five stars: 'Nobody in pop can touch her…Armed with monster hits and a veritable war zone of pyrotechnics, Queen Bey reigns supreme in London.' And she did it all while dressed in the most elaborate, expressive, and downright explosive fashion seen on a stage since McQueen's heyday. Fashion as Statement, Spectacle, and Soul Across the tour, Beyoncé wore custom looks by a museum-worthy roster of over 25 designers, curated by wardrobe leads Shiona Turini, Karen Langley, Ty Hunter, and Timothy White. The lineup included: Anrealage, Balmain, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Coperni, Diesel, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Ferrari, Gucci, Loewe, Moschino, Mugler, Off-White (Ibrahim Kamara), Poster Girl, Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Sacai, Schiaparelli, Stella McCartney, TELFAR, Versace, Vivienne Westwood, and more. Jewelry was sourced from rising talents like Shola Branson, and hair and makeup were a Cécred-fueled masterclass in Black excellence, executed by Neal Farinah and Rokael Lizama. The Hive, the Family, the Crew Beyoncé didn't go it alone. A 350+ member crew including her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter brought the show to life. Blue Ivy returned for limited appearances in 'BLACKBIIRD,' while Rumi took her stage bow for the first time, holding her mother's hand during the final show. Sixty-four fans were crowned 'Rodeo Royalty' for their show-stopping Western-inspired outfits. And the BeyGOOD Foundation committed over $3 million to local communities, including wildfire relief in California. The Business Behind the Magic Beyoncé's tour was also a masterclass in branding and partnership. Official sponsors and collaborators included: Marriott Bonvoy, offering VIP hotel packages across tour cities SirDavis, Beyoncé's award-winning whiskey, and the official spirit of the tour Cécred, Beyoncé's own prestige haircare line, activated via a chrome-wrapped Roadshow trailer and Ulta Beauty pop-ups Ulta Beauty, the tour's official beauty retail partner Vibee, curating deluxe concert experiences through hotel-ticket bundles and exclusive merch A Tour for the Ages. A Queen Untouchable. What Beyoncé accomplished with the COWBOY CARTER TOUR is not just statistical. It's spiritual. She reframed country music through the lens of Black womanhood, told stories that the genre has long excluded, and did it with elegance, fire, and a sky-high boot on the gas pedal. In an industry where superlatives often get diluted, Beyoncé once again proved she deserves every single one. History didn't just happen. She wrote it.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z just took out a massive mortgage on their $88M Los Angeles mansion
Even the most powerful couple in music has a mortgage — or two. Beyoncé and Jay-Z took out a $57.75 million mortgage on their Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles, the Daily Mail reported. The superstar pair boasts a combined estimated net worth of $3 billion and an impressive real estate portfolio on both coasts, but their massive home in the Bel Air hills remains a family base. Advertisement 6 Jay-Z and Beyoncé, pictured in December 2024. AFP via Getty Images The new 30-year loan from Morgan Stanley's Private Banking Division was taken out in April, according to the Daily Mail. It comes with a 5% interest rate for the first 10 years. Refinancing isn't foreign to this power couple. The pair borrowed $52.8 million to buy the $88 million home in 2017. Jay-Z and Bey refinanced for the same amount in 2021, the outlet reported. Advertisement The sprawling eight-bedroom mansion is made up of six interconnected structures on 2 acres of land. The retreat-like home comes with four outdoor pools, a spa and a wellness center. The famous family can further relax thanks to bulletproof windows. 6 An aerial view of the music moguls' $88 million Bel Air home.

Vasquez-Max Lopes / BACKGRID The duo's total borrowing on the property now totals more than $110 million. Advertisement Living large comes with a large price tag. The Bel Air home racks up an annual property tax bill of more than $1.2 million. Combined with monthly mortgage payments, the pair's estimated monthly spending on the dwelling totals more than $637,000 a month. That monthly till — more than $200,000 the median American home price — doesn't even factor in utilities, maintenance or staff pay. Mortgages don't always mean money trouble, however. The musical duo's continued success — Beyoncé recently surpassed $400 million on her 32-date Cowboy Carter tour — is certainly not in question. The bold real-estate move may simply give the couple extra cash for other investments that will help offset high interest rates. 6 The couple's impressive real estate portfolio stretches from Los Angeles to the Hamptons — all properties where they can raise their kids.

William Farrington When it comes to real estate, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are nothing if not bold. The parents of three famously shelled out $200 million in cash on a mammoth Malibu home in 2023. The deal broke California's state record for the most expensive home. The controversial concrete property was designed by Tadao Ando, the same Pritzker Prize-winning architect that designed Kanye West's former beachfront Malibu home. Beyond California, Beyoncé and Jay-Z count a $6.85 million Tribeca penthouse and a $26 million East Hampton estate among their multiple holdings.

The 'Cowboy Carter' album also gave Beyoncé her first Album Of The Year award win at the 67th annual Grammy Awards– a win fans have said has been a long time coming. The singer has expressed how her country album was a personal testament to her roots– as a Black woman born and raised in Texas and paying homage to Black country trailblazers like Linda Martell and young country artists like Shaboozey, Tanner Addell, Reyna Roberts, Brittney Spencer and Tiera Kennedy.
