On Saturday night, the crowd at Houston’s NRG Stadium was surprised – and ecstatic – when Beyoncé invited Megan Thee Stallion on stage.
In footage from halfway through Saturday night’s show, Beyoncé asked the crowd, “Do we have any savage ladies and gentlemen in Houston tonight?” In response to the cheers, she announced, “Please give it up for Houston’s own Megan Thee Stallion!”
Megan strutted on stage to deliver a performance of the duo’s Grammy-winning “Savage” remix. She recited the opening lyrics, “I’m that bitch. Been that b—-, still that b—-. Will forever be that b—-,” and added, “What’s up, Houston?”
From her platform, Beyoncé smiled at her colleague in admiration. She asked the concertgoers, “Does she make you proud?” The crowd roared in response. Beyoncé continued, “She makes me proud. I love you, girl.”
Megan Thee Stallion screamed back, “I love you Beyoncé!!!”
Megan later posted a reel to Instagram where she showed off her camouflage Renaissance outfit, with the caption, “BEYONCÉ I LOVE YOU
HOUSTON I LOVE YOUUU.”
Beyoncé’s sold-out Renaissance Tour had two shows in Megan Thee Stallion’s hometown.
“Savage,” originally sung by Megan Thee Stallion, was released in March 2020 as part of her EP Suga. The song went viral, and the remix that featured Beyoncé was surprise-released in May 2020. The collaboration was originally released as part of a charity campaign during the Covid-19 pandemic. All proceeds from the track were donated to relief efforts in Houston.
