Beyoncé kicked off the final concert of her Cowboy Carter Tour at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on July 26.
Throughout the tour, the 35-time Grammy winner performed in 32 stadium concerts across nine cities throughout the U.S. and Europe, wrapping things up in Sin City. Though she brought out some special guests during other shows on the tour–including her husband, Jay-Z, and Cowboy Carter collaborator, Miley Cyrus–Bey saved the best for last.
In Vegas on Saturday, fans were stunned when Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined the stage, serving as a Destiny’s Child reunion. The three women performed some of their most beloved throwback hits, including their 2001 anthem “Bootylicious” and their 2005 hit “Lose My Breath.”
Rowland and Williams even helped their friend with her Renaissance “Mute Challenge,” and the moment they sang the lyrics, “just me and my crew–big energy!” was extra special considering the circumstances.
“I can’t believe I saw that with my own eyes. We just saw so much of Beyoncé’s history onstage just now–her past, her present and her future,” said one fan witnessing the show, per USA Today.
Fans have been hoping for a Destiny’s Child reunion throughout the entire Cowboy Carter Tour, especially with Beyoncé playing snippets of some of her biggest throwback hits on every stop of the tour. Many supporters traveled from out of town to see Bey’s final show in Vegas, expecting some special surprises–and that’s exactly what they got.
Destiny’s Child rose to fame in the 1990s with its original members Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. The girl group eventually became a trio with Beyoncé, Rowland and Williams, who gained a lot of success before going their separate ways in 2006. Despite their split, professionally, they have all stayed close friends over the years, each achieving success in their own creative careers.
It’s been many years since the ladies have performed together publicly, making this reunion all the more special. In 2018, Beyoncé brought out Rowland and Williams during her famous Coachella performance, where they sang some of their classics.
