On June 12, during her fourth night of the Cowboy Carter tour at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Beyoncé pressed pause to wish her twins, Rumi and Sir, a happy 8th birthday. The moment was so adorable and heartwarming.
As the crowd roared, Queen Bey – glowing as usual – turned toward the audience and said, 'Everybody say happy birthday, Rumi!' Fans echoed her with full energy. She followed with, 'Say happy birthday, Sir! Mommy loves you.'
Standing alongside his mom, Rumi smiled and hugged her. The moment has gone viral, shared on fan accounts across social media.
What's made this tour so special – beyond the hits, history, and high production – is that it's given the Bey Hive more of Rumi than ever before. Fans following the Carter family for years know that Beyoncé and Jay-Z have always been pretty private about their twins. While Blue Ivy has been performing and making cameos for a while now, Rumi and Sir have mostly stayed behind the scenes.
But that hasn't stopped fans from learning more about the twins. From their one-month mark to now, they continue to make headlines.
And now, thanks to her appearances on Cowboy Carter , Rumi is beginning to step into the light in her own way.
Rumi has joined Beyoncé for select performances, especially during the show's emotional and highly anticipated 'Protector' segment. It's in that moment that fans wait to see if Rumi and Blue Ivy will appear. The Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit tour is not just about the music and fashion slays anymore.
Happy Birthday to Rumi and Sir!

The finale after the finale: S.F. Symphony Chorus shines in Verdi's Requiem
Like a baseball game rescheduled after a rainout, there was one more concert on the San Francisco Symphony's season calendar after last week's grand finale with outgoing Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen. The orchestra staged its makeup performance of Verdi's Requiem on Friday, June 20, a concert that was canceled during the Symphony Chorus' strike in September last year. James Gaffigan generously stepped in to conduct the work, which Salonen would have led in the fall. The program is slated to be repeated on Sunday, June 22, at Davies Symphony Hall. After its extraordinary contributions to Salonen's farewell performance of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, the Chorus showed it was worth every penny of the anonymous $4 million gift made in the months following the strike. The singers came to the fore not just in the 90-minute Requiem, normally programmed by itself, but in a first part that included three choral pieces by Gordon Getty, himself a generous donor to the Symphony (and a co-founder of San Francisco Classical Voice). Getty's works are genial, melodic and accessible, and Gaffigan, a friend of the composer, led them deftly and with evident care. The Intermezzo from Getty's 2017 opera 'Goodbye, Mr. Chips' begins delicately, with spare lines in the marimba giving way to the harp, then acquiring a more definitive melodic profile in the strings. It's a meditative piece that finds an unexpected climax when the choristers interject a school hymn, almost as if overhead from afar. The Chorus also gave fine performances of 'Saint Christopher' (2024), which features effective writing for voices, and 'The Old Man in the Snow' (2020), a more substantial work in several sections that Getty skillfully sets apart with different instrumentation, including a trombone choir, keyboards and mallet percussion. If the performance of the piece as a whole lacked finesse, their contributions were nonetheless stellar. The singing was artful, from the opening 'Requiem aeternam,' with the sound humming in the air through the nasal consonants, to the explosive 'Dies irae' and the stentorian 'Rex tremendae.' The women made a luminous entrance in the 'Lacrimosa' at the line 'Huic ergo parce, Deus' (Therefore spare him, O Lord), and the whole chorus concluded with the fearful declamation and hortatory final fugue of the 'Libera me.' The singers encompassed the range of Verdi's writing in finely balanced sound that pulled emotion from every chord change. Gaffigan's conducting, however, emphasized drive and the titanic climaxes while shorting the Requiem's poetic side. Certainly, this is a public religious work, conceived as a memorial to Italian art — first to the composer Gioachino Rossini and then, when that initial plan fell through, to author Alessandro Manzoni. But it's not only theatrical. This interpretation was driven by inflexible tempos and a sameness to all of the climaxes and fortissimo outbursts that ultimately became wearing. Though the orchestra played well, earning deserved applause, the performance was missing a sense of transcendence and the overarching struggle of mourning and fear giving way to tranquility and acceptance. The soloists — soprano Rachel Willis-Sørenson, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, tenor Mario Chang and bass Morris Robinson — were generally excellent. The notable exception was Chang's effortful 'Ingemisco' prayer, sung without any bloom in the tone and generally unresonant and unconvincing. The violins joined Willis-Sørenson in a moving 'Sed signifer sanctus Michael' (Let the standard-bearer holy Michael), the soprano singing sweetly in one of the score's many standout lyrical moments. If there had been more of those, this Requiem would have been even better.

When in London, Miley Cyrus Wears the Capital's Favorite Freakiest Shoe
Miley Cyrus spent the week taking Paris by storm, the streets her runway: She played a secret show for fans in Moulin Rouge-esque, vintage and crystal-encrusted Mugler corsets, and took to the streets in full Valentino, a sheer gown with a feather bra, and a very special Eiffel Tower-embellished archival mini-dress. Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Alongside her very different takes on French girl chic, Cyrus also joined Beyoncé on her mammoth Cowboy Carter tour to become her very first guest performer. The duo performed 'II Most Wanted' from 2024's Cowboy Carter, which won them the Grammy for best country duo or group performance. The crowd, of course, went wild. For the moment, they both opted for gilded, golden looks: Cyrus in custom Alexander McQueen, and Bey in custom Rabanne. So stepping off the Eurostar at London St. Pancras International station yesterday (June 20), Cyrus exhibited a style more in step with the London fashion set aesthetic, as she arrived to keep promoting her latest album Something Beautiful. She wore a blue-gray trench coat with light blue wash straight leg jeans rolled up at the ankles, and a black tank layered with gold necklaces. She brushed back her usual '80s blow-out into a slick back ponytail, with huge aviator sunglasses and a Maison Margiela 5AC black handbag. On her feet, every east London girl's favorite choice for freaky footwear: the Margiela tabi ballerina flat.

Beyoncé closed out her six-show run in London on Monday night with a heartfelt thank you to a music legend. 'Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made,' she wrote in a caption on Instagram. 'Every time I sing it, I feel so honored.' Beyoncé is referencing his song 'Blackbird,' which she sings on her 2024 album 'Cowboy Carter.' However, she spells it 'Blackbiird.' Mario Lopez weighs in on deportations: 'Immigrants are what makes America beautiful' She called it a full-circle moment as the singer was wearing his daughter Stella McCartney's design while singing the song during the show. The Cécred founder then thanked her fans across the pond. 'Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family,' Beyoncé said. 'Holla at 'ya when I come on tour again!' The 32-time GRAMMY winner's Cowboy Carter Tour continues to break records, even ones she previously held. Her six shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium received over 275,000 fans and 'grossed over £45,000,000 ($61,500,000 USD), making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium's history,' LiveNation explained in a press release. Taylor Swift surprises patients at children's hospital Beyoncé now holds the venue record for most concerts performed by any artist. Her 2025 tour 'surpassed the benchmark she previously set with five sold-out nights during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023, breaking her own all-time record for most performances by any artist at the venue.'
