Beyonce’s back!
As one of the biggest recording artists in the world, Beyonce has done her fair share of touring and after a six-year hiatus – she’s finally hitting the road solo for the ninth time.
Following the success of her wildly popular seventh studio album Renaissance, the megastar announced she would be taking her tracks to arenas across the globe in 2023.
Kicking off in May, the musical icon will open the extravaganza at the Friends Arena in Stockholm and will make stops throughout Europe before continuing across North America.
Before she hits the ground running, here’s a look back at all the times Queen Bey has Run The World and graced us with her dazzling presence…
