Beyonce Appreciate Fan Before The Opening Act For First London Show

“I can’t believe this is my job”, Beyonce exclaimed as she dazzled on the opening night of her Renaissance world tour in London.

The pop artist began the first of five nights at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by saying “I love you” to the crowd before launching into a number of ballads, including fan favorite 1+1.

The world-famous performer made it a family affair by bringing her daughter Blue Ivy on stage during My Power and Black Parade, leading a group of dancers. Fans chanted “Hey Miss Carter” as she exited the stage to a standing ovation, and her husband, rapper Jay Z, had the audience in a frenzy when he arrived to watch from the VIP box.

As she entered the venue to witness the performance on Monday night and walked around the VIP box waving at fans, Kardashians star Kris Jenner also got the crowd clapping and cheering.

Beyonce began her almost three-hour set with gratitude, saying: “I just want to thank you guys, because y’all are the reason I am living my dream with your support and loyalty and I’m so grateful.

“I can’t believe this is my job, thank you.”

During the show, the Grammy-winning singer performed hit tracks from her dance-focused seventh studio album Renaissance, including favourites Alien Superstar and Cuff It.

She also delivered a tribute to Tina Turner, singing River Deep Mountain High, telling fans: “You know how much I love Tina Turner”, finishing the song with a sign of the cross before blowing a kiss to the sky.

Turner, who died aged 83 last week, duetted with Beyonce in 2008 at the Grammys, performing a rendition of her hit song Proud Mary.

To fans’ delight, the 41-year-old also revisited her back catalogue, delivering powerful renditions of classic tracks including Crazy In Love, Run The World (Girls), Partition and Love On Top – with the crowd impressing the superstar as they sang the lyrics back to her a cappella.

Beyonce said: “Definitely the loudest so far, am I going to get in trouble?”

The tracks were paired with Beyonce’s signature sassy choreographed routines, with theatrics which included her appearing in a glittery clam shell during new track Virgo’s Groove, a moving walkway on stage, fireworks, a giant horse prop and futuristic video projections.

She also worked her way through an array of extravagant outfit changes, including a sparkly silver leotard with thigh-high iridescent boots, a red glittery jumpsuit with matching hat, and a blue full-length floaty number for the ballad songs.

The seven-part disco party delighted energetic fans who danced and sang along throughout the performance, and particularly enjoyed moments of fun which included Beyonce wrapped up in a silver duvet during song Cosy and vogue-ing during Break My Soul.

She kicked off the first of the UK dates of her tour in Cardiff last Wednesday before moving to Edinburgh and Sunderland, expecting to deliver her last London show on June 4th.

The Renaissance world tour is Beyonce’s first in seven years, and saw her kick off with an explosive show in Stockholm.
