Destiny’s Child hit the stage over the weekend at the final Las Vegas show of the Cowboy Carter Tour.
The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her final concert at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on July 26. The concert marked her last of two back-to-back shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour. It also served as the last of her 32 stadium concerts across the U.S. and Europe.
Attendees were in quite the shock when Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Beyoncé for a surprise performance.
In footage shared by a concertgoer on TikTok, Beyoncé, 43, is seen briefly disappearing from the stage during the show as music continued to play in the arena. She reemerged seconds later from below the stage, joined by Rowland, 44, and Williams, 46, as the trio’s classic “Independent Women” played to loud cheers from the crowd.
“Destiny’s Child b—!” Beyoncé said to the crowd, before they strutted the stage.
The ladies performed some of their beloved throwback songs, including their 2001 hit “Bootylicious” and their 2005 track “Lose My Breath.”
Rowland, and Williams, also helped Beyoncé, perform her 2022 song “Energy” — complete with the “mute challenge.”
Once the moment of silence ended, the women jumped up and down as Beyoncé sang, “Look around, it’s me and my crew. Big energy!”
The last time the trio hit the stage together was at Beyoncé’s headlining Coachella set in April 2018. The beloved group also reunited offstage with former band members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett at Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in 2023.
