Shout out to the 713: Beyonce gives fans rare look behind-the-scenes of Houston show
Fresh off two high-powered shows at NRG Stadium over the weekend with husband and rap mogul Jay-Z, Beyonce posted rare behind-the-scenes footage of the concert on Instagram.
The couple is currently on their On the Run II tour.
In the video, Queen Bey shared an intimate moment with the rapper backstage, with Jay-Z asking her, “You ready, B? Let’s go get ’em.”
Fans might also recognize the question from their duet “’03 Bonnie and Clyde,” one of their first hits together.
Beyonce also gives a shout out to her hometown of Houston in the video, mentioning the 713.
As expected, Bey and Jay drew some star-power to the show.
Astros ace Justin Verlander and his model wife Kate Upton caught the tour on Sunday after Verlander threw 11 strikeouts in seven innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Teammates Carlos Correa and fiancee Daniella Rodriguez, and Tony Kemp and his wife, Michelle, were also dancing in the crowd.
Backstage, former Houston Texan Andre Johnson cheesed with Jay-Z, while members of Houston rap royalty, including Bun B, Slim Thug and Paul Wall watched the throne with DJ Khaled, who is also part of the tour.
Even some ABC13 reporters were in the house.
For those who couldn’t score a ticket, they were left with some serious fear of missing out.
The show was also full of surprises for at least one fan who won a $100,000 scholarship from Beyonce and Jay-Z during DJ Khaled’s set Sunday night.
According to the Boys and Girls Clubs Houston, senior Alezae U. is a student at Galveston Ball High School. She will be the first person in her family to go to college.
If you couldn’t see them in Houston, you might consider going on a road trip. Beyonce and Jay-Z have a few days off before their next show Wednesday in Phoenix.

Beyoncé Just Shared 169 Outfit Pics With Jay-Z and Blue Ivy on Her Site
Beyoncé is the kind of celebrity who keeps a low profile most of the time, but every now and then, she’ll pop on her site and share a generous, intimate look at her life with her fans. Last night, she did just that, uploading a year’s worth of outfit photos on her site—her gift on her birthday to all of us. There’s shots of her, Jay Z, and her oldest daughter Blue Ivy Carter. There are many, many designer outfits. Miu Miu is featured! Dolce & Gabbana! It’s truly a lot to take in.
Bey started her photo spam with an honest reflection on her last year:
At 36, I became a new mother of 3. I breastfed twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of 10 years. I came back home to the stage of Coachella, after pregnancy. Then my husband and I released our album together, Everything Is Love. And we’ve been touring with our family around the world and loving it. This year has been monumental for me. I thank God for everyone in my life. Thank you for all the positivity and for the beautiful birthday wishes. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn from my past, living in the present, and surrendering to the future. I love you, Hive. B.
From there, she posted outfit after outfit shot, including a couple photos of her 37th birthday celebration in Italy. Here, a compilation of some of the best looks. They’re all spectacular though, so see every one in its full glory on her site here.
A couple rare shots of her and Jay Z being affectionate:

Evans student stunned after receiving $100K for college tuition from Beyonce, Jay-Z
Keshawn Morgan, a senior at Evans High School, had never been to a concert before. So he was thrilled on Wednesday when his local Boys & Girls Club — where he’d been going since second grade — invited him to the Beyoncé and Jay-Z show that night.
When club leaders told him and the other teenagers who had been invited that they had V.I.P. seating, he was even more excited.
But when DJ Khaled, who opened the show at Camping World Stadium, told the audience he had a surprise $100,000 college scholarship to announce, the 17-year-old didn’t think much about it at all.
Until the performer began to describe the winner, saying he was ranked third in his class and was president of the Spanish honor society, and then a puzzled Keshawn thought, “What? That’s me.”
A video of the event shows his mouth drop and his hands briefly cover his face as he realizes he’s the winner, and then his name is announced. He and his friends erupt in cheers, as they jump up and down and hug him.
“Oh my gosh,” a stunned Keshawn said in the video posted on Facebook by the Boys & Girls Cubs of America. “I can’t believe this. I want to be a lawyer. I can’t believe I won this.”
In a phone interview Thursday, he still sounded stunned..
“I really couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I couldn’t even like put it in words,” he added. “It was crazy.”

Beyonce’s Three Kids Joined Her on the Set of Her ‘Vogue’ Shoot and Blue Ivy Took Control!
The magazine released behind-the-scene footage on Tuesday, August 14. In the clip, which is set to Curtis Mayfield’s “The Makings of You,” Beyonce is seen posing for photographer Tyler Mitchell, inspecting Polaroid photos and goofing around during outtakes. But it’s a cartwheeling Blue who steals the show. At the beginning of the video, the little girl takes control of the camera and announces, “I’m gonna zoom in for you guys, OK?” Later, Blue melts hearts when she kisses her baby brother.
The Destiny’s Child alum opened up about her hopes and dreams for her daughters Blue and Rumi. “It’s important to me that they see themselves too — in books, films and on the runways. It’s important to me that they can see themselves as CEOs, as bosses, and that they know they can write the script for their own lives — that they can speak their minds and have no ceiling,” the multi-Grammy winning artist told Vogue. “They don’t have to be a certain type or fit into a specific category. They don’t have to be politically correct as long as they’re authentic, respectful, compassionate, and empathetic.”
Beyoncé will support her daughters choices later in life without judgement: “They can explore any religion, fall in love with any race, and love who they want to love.”

Jay-Z Is Beefing With the Mayor of Philadelphia
Jay-Z Is Beefing With the Mayor of Philadelphia Over His Made in America Festival
While there’s a potential beef brewing between Beyoncé and the city of Rome, there’s one already roaring between her husband and the city of Philadelphia. Jay-Z has published an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer accusing the city’s mayor, Jim Kenney, of attempting to shut down Jay’s annual Made in America Festival. Jay claims that Mayor Kenney banned next year’s festival from its usual location of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway without notice, and tried to get this year’s festival canceled.
We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication. It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.
The letter goes on to slam the mayor for his failure to support a minority-owned business that financially benefits the city. Jay ends by saying he and his team “will discuss our options internally and handle accordingly,” meaning his festival could soon be on the market for a new city. Hey, Hov, your hometown is available!
Update, July 18th, at 8:10 p.m.: Mayor Kenney’s office has issued the following statement in response to the op-ed: “The City of Philadelphia supports the Made in America festival and is greatly appreciative of all that it has done for Philadelphia. We are committed to its continued success and thank them for their partnership. We hope to be able to resolve what has been an unfortunate misunderstanding. We are working with Roc Nation and Live Nation to resolve this issue and we are committed to continuing our partnership with the Made in America festival.”

Beyonce Stranded by Flying Stage Malfunction (Watch)
The challenge with high-tech concert production is, like all machinery, sometimes it malfunctions. And Saturday night, at the Warsaw stop of Jay-Z and Beyonce’s “On the Run II” tour, a flying stage that ordinarily enables the singer to hover over the grown got stuck 20 feet in the air, forcing a rather undignified exit.
Stage techs were forced to go old-school to bring Beyonce back down to earth via an ordinary ladder. The band vamped while Beyonce initially appeared reluctant to descend via the ladder — understandable considering her towering heels — but eventually capitulated.
In a fan video (h/t Daily Beast), fans can be heard chanting the singer’s name while one yells in a thick Polish accent, “You can do it!” The fan who posted the video wrote: “Beyoncé’s flying stage got broken at the end of the show in Warsaw and she had to walk down on a ladder. She also gave us a little cute dance!”
