Beyoncé had a very special treat for her French fans after bringing her Cowboy Carter tour to mainland Europe. Following six massive (though, as was well-documented, not sold out) shows in London this month, Beyoncé brought her Cowboy Carter album to life in Paris for the first time on Thursday evening. And to reward her fans in Paris for their patience – she brought out a surprise guest during the show. 'I'm so excited because I wanted to do something very special for you guys,' she told the crowd as the opening bars of her Miley Cyrus duet II Most Wanted began playing. 'I could not do it without this young lady's help, so I want you to scream as loud as you can.' At that moment, Miley rose from underneath the stage to an ecstatic reaction from the audience, as Beyoncé hailed the singer as an 'icon' and said she was her 'biggest fan'. 'I'm so grateful to watch you, to sing with you, Miss Miley Cyrus,' Bey enthused, before launching into their Grammy-winning duet.
