There was another surprise backstage too
Last updated 10th Oct 2018
Superstar celebrity couple, JAY Z and Beyoncé, have now come to the end of their epic 'On The Run 2' tour and the 'Single Ladies' singer has marked the occasion with a heartfelt tribute to her husband, Shawn Carter - known by his stage name JAY Z.
The pair, who have been on the road since June, when they started their tour in Cardiff, finished the tour in Seattle, just a few days ago. Performing both their solo hits and collaborations, the tour was a big hit with fans. Here are some of Beyoncé and JAY Z's biggest collaborations!
In a short video uploaded to Instagram, Beyoncé captions it with a heartfelt message for her husband, mentioning his real name saying, 'To Shawn Carter, my Clyde, my best friend: this journey on OTR2 has been a highlight of my life. Thank you for every moment. I’ll be your hype man any day!'
She goes on to thank her fans and 'the Hive', as she continues, 'To the Hive and all the fans who supported OTR2, cheers to you and I. Salud'.
The video shows clips from their spectacular show, including a moment when the words 'This is real love' appear behind the couple, as Beyoncé runs towards her husband and throws her arms around him.
In just eight hours the video has racked up a huge 1.7 million likes and nearly six million views! It's also attracted thousands of comments from their fans leaving messages such as, 'THANK YOU WE LOVE YOU❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍', '❤️🐝🐝🐝🐝👑👑👑👑' and '👏👏👏👏👑🐝 and J 💖💖💫😍'.
Around the same time, the pop star also posted some backstage photos from their concerts showing JAY Z, Beyoncé and their team preparing for the show, including a lovely photo with her Dad.
And, if that wasn't enough, Beyoncé's parents, who divorced seven years ago, after 31 years of marriage, put aside their differences and posed for a photo with their famous daughter. Tina Knowles (also known as Tina Lawson) posted the photo of the three of them without a caption, however it attracted a lot of love from fans.
One fan commented, 'She looks so happy', with another saying, '😍😍😍😍😍😍Family always'.
Just last month, Tina posted a super cute throwback photo of her daughter. Along with the photo, Tina posted a very long caption which started, 'It’s already your birthday where you are ❤️So Happy Birthday to the nicest , owner of the most beautiful, generous , loving hearts ever !!!! Brilliant too! Always thinking , planning, analyzing, strategizing , how you can make everything you touch better!'sic
