Beyoncé pulled all the stops for her final Cowboy Carter Tour show, with a surprise performance from Destiny’s Child.
Bey saved the best for last and brought out her former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for the tour’s finale on Saturday (July 26) at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.
“Destiny’s Child, bitch,” Beyoncé told the crowd as the trio made their way down the catwalk and sang a shortened version of their 2004 hit “Lose My Breath.”
From there, DC sang an excerpt of “Energy” from Renaissance, complete with the “everybody on mute” challenge, and wrapped things up with 2001’s “Bootylicious.”
As Destiny’s Child made their way off of the stage, the concert segued into a dance sequence performed by Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, which some fans interpreted to be a passing of the torch.
Destiny’s Child, who were formed in 1990 and went through a series of lineup changes before disbanding in 2006, have reunited several times in the past. Among the most notable of those reunions were as part of Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl Half Time performance and her 2018 Coachella set.
The DC reunion was hardly the only surprise Beyoncé had in store for her devoted BeyHive.
Earlier in the evening, she also brought out Shaboozey to perform their collaboration “Sweet Honey Buckiin.’”
Afterwards, Jay-Z hit the stage to perform his “Crazy in Love” verse and a solo version of “N****s in Paris.” Hov made his first surprise appearance on the Cowboy Carter stage during last month’s tour stop in Paris, France.
With Cowboy Carter in the rear view, Beyoncé’s fans are looking forward to the third and final chapter in the album trilogy that began with 2022’s dance-house set Renaissance.
Will the BeyHive go from line dancing to head-banging? Rumors that the LP will be a reclamation of rock music have been circulating online (rumors sparked by, among other things, Bey dressing up as the late singer Betty Davis last Halloween), with fans wasting no time sharing ideas about who they would like to see featured on the album.
ComplexCon returns to Las Vegas on October 25–26, 2025, with over 300 brands and live performances by Young Thug, YEAT & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee, Ken Carson, and more. Get your tickets now.
