Beyoncé reunites with Kelly and Michelle: Destiny's Child returns for one glorious night
Beyoncé concluded her Cowboy Carter tour in Las Vegas with a spectacular finale, highlighted by a Destiny's Child reunion, their first performance together since 2018. Shaboozey joined Beyoncé for "Sweet Honey Buckin'," and Jay-Z appeared to perform "Crazy in Love" and "N****s in Paris." The night celebrated music, sisterhood, and unforgettable moments, solidifying Beyoncé's status as Queen Bey. Beyoncé pulled out all the stops for the grand finale of her Cowboy Carter tour in Las Vegas, delivering a night fans won't soon forget. From a long-awaited Destiny's Child reunion to surprise appearances by Shaboozey and Jay-Z, the final show was a high-voltage celebration of music, sisterhood, and show-stopping moments—proving once again why Queen Bey reigns supreme. A Long-Awaited Destiny's Child Reunion The surprise reunion marked the first time Destiny's Child performed together since their cameo during Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella set. After dominating the early 2000s, the trio parted ways following their final tour in 2005. Since then, they've reunited only a few times, making each appearance a rare and nostalgic moment for fans. The trio's surprise appearance came nearly 40 songs into the set on Saturday night, stunning fans as they emerged together to perform their 2004 hit 'Lose My Breath.' They stayed on stage for Beyoncé's Renaissance track 'Energy,' flawlessly executing the viral 'mute challenge' and hyping up the crowd with the line, 'just me and my crew – big energy!' The electrifying four-minute cameo wrapped up with a crowd-pleasing rendition of their iconic hit 'Bootylicious. ' Short and Sassy: Bey's One-Line Introduction Beyoncé kept the introduction short and fierce, simply declaring, 'Destiny's Child, bitch,' as the trio took the stage—sending the crowd into a frenzy. During the 'mute challenge,' Kelly Rowland fully embraced the moment, playfully putting a finger to her lips and mouthing, 'Shut up,' adding a cheeky flair to the already viral moment. Die-hard Beyoncé fans had long speculated that a Destiny's Child reunion might happen during the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Tour, given the trio's enduring bond. But it took some serious patience—Destiny was finally fulfilled on the 32nd and final night of the tour, making the surprise appearance all the more rewarding. While their onstage reunions have been rare, Destiny's Child has remained close off-stage. In January, the group came together for a private rendition of 'Happy Birthday' at the 50th birthday bash of Kelly Rowland's husband, Tim Weatherspoon. More recently, all five original members reunited at the premiere of Beyoncé's Renaissance concert film, and Beyoncé and Rowland showed their support again at Michelle Williams ' Broadway debut in Death Becomes Her. Fans who believed Beyoncé had a grand finale up her sleeve were proven right when Shaboozey joined her on stage for a powerful performance of their Cowboy Carter duet, 'Sweet Honey Buckin'.' Dressed in American flag pants—an apparent nod to a past Destiny's Child stage look—Shaboozey's appearance added an extra layer of flair. While he previously performed with Beyoncé during her NFL halftime show on Christmas Day, this marked his first onstage appearance of the tour. Jay-Z also made an appearance during the tour finale, though it wasn't entirely unexpected as he had joined Beyoncé on stage at a few earlier stops. In Las Vegas, the power couple lit up the crowd with performances of their classic 'Crazy in Love' and Jay-Z's 2011 hit 'N—-s in Paris,' adding to the star-studded energy of the night.
