Beyoncé closed out the international portion of her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour with a star-studded final show in Paris on June 22. The performance, held at Stade de France, marked the third and last of her Paris dates and featured an unexpected guest appearance by none other than her husband, Jay-Z.
As she performed their early-2000s hit Crazy in Love, Jay-Z joined her on stage to deliver his verse, prompting cheers from the crowd. Video clips shared on social media captured fans reacting with excitement throughout the stadium.
The surprise didn’t stop there. The rapper followed up with his hit N**as in Paris, and the duo later performed Drunk in Love, marking the first time the song appeared on this tour.
At the end of the segment, Beyoncé addressed the crowd:
“Give it one more time for HOV!”
The Paris show also attracted several high-profile guests. Cardi B was spotted in the crowd wearing Western-themed attire, while Kelly Rowland and Tina Knowles were seen nearby in a balcony-style section overlooking the stage.
