Beyonce<\/a> paid tribute to Sir Paul McCartney<\/a> by wearing an outfit designed by his daughter Stella as she performed one of his hits at her\u00a0shows in London.<\/p>\n

The hitmaker, 43, wore a T-shirt featuring two blackbirds, in a nod to The Beatles<\/a>\u00a01968 song Blackbird, which she recorded a cover of last year.<\/p>\n

Beyonce has also performed Blackbird at her recording-breaking shows in London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this month.<\/p>\n

She went onto shared a sweet tribute to Paul in an Instagram post, writing: ‘Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made. Every time I sing it I feel so honoured.<\/p>\n

‘And it is a full circle moment to wear your beautiful daughter’s design.<\/p>\n

‘Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family. Holla at ‘ya when I come on tour again!’<\/p>\n

Beyonce paid tribute to Sir Paul McCartney by wearing an outfit designed by his daughter Stella as she performed one of his hits at her shows in London<\/p>\n

Blackbird featured on The Beatles’ White Album, and holds particular poignancy for Beyonce, as it was originally written as\u00a0a protest song against inequality in the US in the 1960s, when The Beatles refused to perform for a segregated audience.<\/p>\n

Beyonce’s cover of the song, titled\u00a0Blackbiird, features on her Cowboy Carter album.<\/p>\n

After it was released, Paul himself praised Beyonce’s cover of the song, saying: ”I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place.’<\/p>\n

On Monday, Beyonce brought her London shows to a close<\/a>, having welcomed over 275,000 fans and grossed over \u00a345million (over $61million USD), making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium’s history.<\/p>\n

Beyonc\u00e9 also now holds the all-time record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the most concerts performed by any artist.<\/p>\n

Her Cowboy Carter Tour shows – held June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16 – surpassed the benchmark she previously set with five sold-out nights during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023.<\/p>\n

This broke her own all-time record for most performances by any artist at the venue.<\/p>\n

At the venue she also broke the record for the most ticket sales for any artist – with over 275,000 tickets sold.<\/p>\n

It is also the highest grossing concerts for any artist (over \u00a345million) at Tottenham.<\/p>\n

The news comes after Beyonc\u00e9 reportedly ‘bowed down’ to Mariah Carey<\/a> and ‘packed up her \u00a325k-a-night London penthouse for the diva songstress to move in.’<\/p>\n

The If I Were A Boy hitmaker had booked a 12-night stay at the\u00a0Corinthia while performing\u00a0at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But she allegedly moved out at the weekend when\u00a0self-confessed diva Mariah, 56, touched down to play at\u00a0Capital’s Summertime Ball on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source told The Sun<\/a>: ‘Superstars as big as Beyonce<\/a> and Mariah want to stay in only the best hotels.<\/p>\n

‘Beyonce had been staying in Corinthia’s penthouses.<\/p>\n

‘But when Mariah flew in, Beyonce packed up so Mariah could take over her suites.\u00a0It was like Beyonce was bowing down to another music queen.’<\/p>\n

It came after Beyonce made a rare public statement about her elusive son Sir Carter while bringing her show to Tottenham on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In fan footage uploaded on X<\/a>, the pop diva wished little Sir and his fraternal twin sister Rumi Carter a happy eighth birthday while onstage.<\/p>\n

‘Everybody say happy birthday, Rumi!’ Beyonc\u00e9 commanded her devoted Beyhive.<\/p>\n

At that, Knowles-Carter’s 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter affectionately touched her little sister on the chin during the three-hour concert featuring over 35 songs.<\/p>\n

‘Say happy birthday, Sir!’ the 35-time Grammy<\/a> winner added as Rumi embraced her. ‘Mommy loves you.’<\/p>\n

Blue Ivy serves back-up dancer duties on tour while Rumi has been making an appearance onstage each night of Beyonc\u00e9’s tour beginning at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on April 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Beyonce paid tribute to Sir Paul McCartney by wearing an outfit designed by his daughter Stella as she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,92,393,4884,257,11693,813,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-193237","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-london","13":"tag-paul-mccartney","14":"tag-tvshowbiz","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114701972661444656","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
