Beyoncé has a special bond with Paris. Here's why the city seems so meaningful to her
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has launched her 'Cowboy Carter' tour in Paris, and the first concert reflected the special connection she seems to have with the city. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her first show in Paris at Stade de France in Paris on June 19 — Juneteenth. The show marked the first show at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to hit the stage again on June 21 and 22 During her debut show in Paris, Beyoncé surprised fans with a special guest, "Cowboy Carter" collaborator Miley Cyrus. The two performed their Grammy-winning duet 'II Most Wanted' hand in hand. And the show seemed to be indicative of her love for the City of Love. One fan wrote, "Anyone who has been a Beyoncé fan for the last 15+ years knows that Paris has always ranked in the top two when it comes to cities that get the special treatment, e.g., special guests, set lists, etc." It's no secret both Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, have a deep affection for the city. They have both referenced Paris in interviews and in their music, often tying it to pivotal moments in their lives and careers. Here are a few more reasons why many believe Beyoncé holds a special bond with the French capital. Beyoncé's shows in Paris sell out nearly immediately Beyoncé first announced the tour the night before the 2025 Grammy Awards, where she took home the award for best country album and the night's top prize album of the year for "Cowboy Carter." And Beyoncé only announced two international stops on the tour — one of them being Paris. And it seems like the love is mutual between Beyoncé and French fans. All three Paris shows on her tour at Stade de France sold out within minutes, amounting to 240,000 tickets sold. Blue Ivy made her first tour appearance with Beyoncé in Paris Blue Ivy Carter has had the Beyhive buzzing since she's taken on a lead role on her mom's "Cowboy Carter" tour. She has been wowing fans with her dance moves and making a statement for herself. However it was in Paris that Blue made her tour debut on the 2023 Renaissance World Tour at just 11 years old. She hit the stage, showing off her dance moves to 'My Power' and 'Black Parade" from the soundtrack for "The Lion King: The Gift." Beyoncé is no stranger to debuting special guests in Paris For her "Cowboy Carter" tour, Paris was the first city to receive a surprise appearance on the stage. However, Beyoncé is no stranger to choosing the city to debut special guests. During her Paris stop on her "On the Run" tour, Beyoncé surprised fans when she brought out Nicki Minaj in 2014. It was the first time the two ladies performed their hit song "Flawless Remix" together onstage. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

She reportedly told Beyoncé, 'We do not have to try to be country, we already are.' With Miley hailing from Tennessee and Beyoncé repping Texas, the duo channelled their Southern roots into something magic. And yes, Miley's mum was apparently obsessed with the track. Adorable.

Legendary for sure!
