Beyoncé gets emotional, gives London fans a heartfelt closer: 'I don't want to go home' Beyoncé-Knowles-Carter wrapped the U.K. leg of her "Cowboy Carter" tour with a heartfelt sendoff in London, delivering an emotional yet electric performance during her final show in the city. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 16 show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 7:43 p.m local time. The show marked her final concert on her six-show stint at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. Her next stop will be in Paris, where she is set to take the French stage for three nights on June 19, 21 and 22. "London, I'm so happy to be standing on the stage tonight. I see so many familiar faces," Beyoncé said as she opened the show. "We're going to have us a good time. I love you. I love you. I love you so deep." Beyoncé's warm energy radiated throughout the entire show. In addition to the high-powered performances she brought to the stage, there were many moments of heartfelt gratitude and raw emotion. Before singing her 2008 hit, "If I Were a Boy," Beyoncé appeared emotional, pausing for several moments as she soaked in the love from the roaring crowd. "I don't want to go home," she said "Thank you, London. We've been having such great shows here. Thank y'all so much." beyoncé nearly in tears as she receives a standing ovation from london😭🥹 — 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆🫧💚 (@beyoncegarden) June 16, 2025 At another point the "Ya Ya" singer told fans, "Oh my goodness. Ya'll are beautiful." During the concert, she blew a kiss after forming a heart with her hands for the roaring crowd. And that energy seemed to be an equal transfer to and from fans. "I'm just happy to be witnessing this. I feel like you can see and feel her energy as well," said London native Agathe Halter, who attended her first Beyoncé concert ever during Monday's show. "I never thought I'd see her in my life. It's incredible." Like Beyoncé, fans were feeling emotional throughout the night. "I cried a couple times. I think she's the first person I've had a CD from. I listen to her every single day of my life," said longtime fan and London native Malika Hamzaa. 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. And Saturday's concert was no different as she debuted more fashionable new looks and delivered another high-powered performance. "It was amazing. It was my daughter's birthday and it was phenomenal. I'm not joking it was worth every penny. I danced the whole night. Beyoncé shut it down," said Kyliyaah Thomas who was celebrating her daughter's 15th birthday. The London shows have been filled with new looks and some even saw new additions to her set list, including fan-favorites "Energy" and "Break My Soul" from her 2022 album "Renaissance." Of course, that also meant some fans attending her shows in London had the opportunity to do — and win, per Beyoncé — the "Mute Challenge." As she closed out Monday's concert, she sang "London, you're beautiful" to the tune of her 2008 song "That's Why You're Beautiful." And if it wasn't already clear, before leaving the Tottenham Stadium stage for the last time on this tour, she told the crowd, "I'm really going to miss you, London."
