Beyoncé brought out Jay-Z during her show in Paris

This isn't the first time Beyoncé has brought Jay-Z out during her "Cowboy Carter Tour" shows. The Empire State of Mind rapper joined his wife on stage for the final performance of her three-show run in Paris on June 22, 2025.

The couple performed their joint hits like Crazy in Love and Drunk in Love. Afterward, Jay-Z took the stage for a solo performance of N***as in Paris, his song with Kanye West from their 2011 joint album, Watch the Throne.

Jay-Z isn't the only family member to join Beyoncé on stage during her ongoing tour. The couple's daughters, 13-year-old Blue Ivy and 8-year-old Rumi, are featured in every show.

While Rumi appears during her mother's performance of Protector, her older sister is a regular throughout the entire show, dancing to songs such as Texas Hold 'Em and America Has A Problem. However, Blue Ivy's standout moment comes during her dance routine in Deja Vu, where she recreates her mom's famous choreography.

During the first "Cowboy Carter Tour" show in Atlanta on July 10, Blue Ivy and Rumi also performed the viral Whim Whamiee dance move, a popular social media trend. That was not the only change people noticed in Beyoncé's Atlanta shows. One major change in the set included a huge golden horse that she used as a prop to fly around the stage during her performance of 16 Carriages.

According to Billboard, the horse is likely a replacement for the red car Beyoncé originally used during 16 Carriages. However, during her June 28 performance in Houston, the car experienced a "technical mishap" that caused it to tilt to one side while flying across the venue with her. The malfunction caused her to stop the performance mid-song, and she resumed the show after safely returning to the stage.
