The stage props included a gigantic horseshoe that lit up in colorful lights when she performed her cover of Dolly Parton’s classic hit song “Jolene.” The lighted horseshoe floated above the crowd as she sang.

She also rode a golden mechanical bull while singing “Tyrant” and she flew through the air in a red car while holding an American flag for “16 Carriages.”

Bey’s eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, 13, was there dancing for her mom on stage.

But the most memorable moment of the evening came when Beyoncé brought her youngest daughter Rumi on stage. The 7-year-old wore a custom mini Oscar de la Renta gown from the designer’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection.

The youngster giggled and waved enthusiastically at the crowd as Beyoncé performed the lullaby “Protector.”

“I want to thank all of those who came before me that allowed me to be on this stage today,” Beyoncé said. “I want to thank you my fans for allowing me to make this album. Thank you giving me the creative liberty to challenge myself.”

Beyoncé, 43, also performed hits including “Formation,” “Cuff It” and “Crazy in Love” from previous albums.

According to reports, Beyoncé is still struggling to sell tickets. Fans previously complained about the absurdly high prices.

Resellers snapped up tickets hoping to make a killing. But those tickets aren’t selling. There are thousands of empty seats in arenas as a result.

An insider told the Daily Mail that Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, are hopeful that ticket sales will pick up before she’s forced to cancel shows.

Rapper and TV mogul 50 Cent mocked Beyoncé when reports of low ticket sales made headlines.

The children’s father Jay-Z was spotted hanging out backstage and around the sound booth to make sure the sound was perfect for his wife’s show.
