Beyoncé has said goodbye to London in true British fashion.
On Monday evening, the Grammy-winning artist completed her six-day Cowboy Carter Tour run at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The record-breaking London takeover, with six consecutive sold-out nights and over 275,000 tickets sold, saw the star in an assortment of flashy and unforgettable Western-themed looks.
And for the final night, Beyoncé paid homage to British icons—performing her cover of “Blackbird” (written by musical legend Paul McCartney and recorded by the Beatles) in a custom outfit inspired by the song’s title and created by none other than McCartney’s fashion designer daughter, Stella.
The custom Stella McCartney look consisted of a white tee-style bodysuit with two beaded blackbirds on the chest. Bey tucked her scoop-neck suit into a pair of belted, hand-crafted crystal fringe chaps that allowed her to sparkle and shimmy all throughout her opening set. Then, she accessorized the look with complementing crystal necklaces and dangling diamond earrings.
Following the final show, Beyoncé shared a heart-warming post about her “Blackbird” look on Instagram, where she discussed her “unforgettable” experience in London.
“Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made. Every time I sing it I feel so honored,” Beyoncé gushed. “And it is a full circle moment to wear your beautiful daughter’s design. Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family.”
The singer also hinted that fans might be in store for another tour following Cowboy Carter. “Holla at ‘ya when I come on tour again,” she ended the caption, leading fans to rejoice in the comments.
It’s clear that the London leg of her tour was very special to the singer. In a video circulating on social media from the final show, Beyoncé gets emotional during an endless round of applause from fans, appearing to tell the crowd, “I don’t want to go home.”
And while Queen Bey has bid farewell to London (for now), the star continues her tour of Europe with a pitstop in Paris—kicking off her first show in historic fashion on Juneteenth.
