Beyoncé was joined on stage at her Paris gig by her daughter Blue Ivy, who danced along while her mother played ‘My Power’ – see footage below.
The tour, behind last year’s lauded ‘Renaissance’ LP, began in Stockholm, Sweden this month, and is now heading through the UK and Europe, before visiting North America before the end of the year.
During the Paris gig of the leg last night (May 26), Beyoncé welcomed her daughter on stage, who danced alongside her for the ‘My Power’ rendition.
‘My Power’ appears on Beyoncé’s Lion King soundtrack ‘The Lion King: The Gift‘ from 2019, which NME called “an eclectic and dizzying collection”.
Also present in the crowd for the gig were Beyoncé collaborator Megan Thee Stallion as well as her husband Jay-Z.

At the opening show on the tour, the R&B icon presented fans with a stunning 36-song setlist, which covered her illustrious career and focused heavily on ‘Renaissance’.
As well as including numerous fan favourites — namely ‘Love on Top’, ‘Crazy In Love’, ‘Formation’ and ‘Drunk In Love’ — the show in Stockholm also saw several live debuts for songs including ‘Cuff It’, ‘Break My Soul’ and ‘Summer Renaissance’.
The singer also surprised fans by making the bathrooms onsite gender-neutral. This is despite the tour making stops in plenty of states which recently passed laws and policies that banned gender-affirming care for children under the age of 18. These states included Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Missouri and Tennessee.
