The crowd erupted as Cyrus appeared, joining Beyoncé for an emotional rendition of their Grammy-winning collaboration.The moment marked the first guest appearance on the Cowboy Carter tour.
The track, originally written by Cyrus over two years ago, found a new life on Beyoncé’s 2024 album. Speaking to W magazine, Cyrus explained, “When Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship.” She added, “We don’t have to get country; we are country… so much of us is going to be in this song.”
The duet won Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammys and has since become a fan-favourite anthem.
Paris marked the halfway point in Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour, which continues across the US through July.
