Miley Cyrus Joins Beyoncé for Surprise Performance at Paris Cowboy Carter Show: ‘A Dream Come True’

Miley Cyrus came out of nowhere and didn’t give no warning when she made a surprise appearance at Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter concert at the Stade de France stadium in Paris on Thursday (June 19).

The “Flowers” singer shared a video of the on her social media pages, showing the two vocal powerhouses delivering the live debut of their Billboard Hot 100 No. 6 hit “II Most Wanted” off Cowboy Carter, with the two trading off lyrics while dazzling in complementary gold outfits. “Didn’t know what I wanted ’til I saw your face/ Say goodbye to the old me,” Bey croons from the first verse before Cyrus kicks off the chorus as the two go on to blend their voices together.

After her unexpected performance, Cyrus shared her excitement about taking the stage with Queen Bey in an Instagram post on Friday (June 20). “@beyonce to be beside such a humble, gracious, legendary DIVA was a dream come true. Thank you for the opportunity to perform in Paris together & sing our song about friendship,” she wrote in the carousel post, which included a clip of their performance as well as photos of the two together on stage. “To have learned from you & loved you my whole life, & then be standing together in matching gold looks is more than I could’ve imagined. As the finale to this trip supporting Something Beautiful, to close on something as beautiful as a stadium full of people singing ‘II Most Wanted’ with us was the ultimate firework. Thank you B. I’ll be your shotgun rider for life. Big gratitude to the Cowboy Carter tour crew, you all were incredible for making this happen. Forever and always.”

In a separate video from backstage, Cyrus struts in her gold bodysuit. “Little ol’ me showing up in Paris in Alexander McQueen for Queen Bey. What?” she says sassily, showing off the outfit and flipping her hair.

The three-time Grammy winner was already in Paris for an intimate Spotify Billions Club Live performance, which took place on Wednesday. During the set — which will be turned into a concert film — the pop star performed some of her biggest hits on the music streaming platform, and also did a surprise mashup of “The Climb” and “We Can’t Stop.”
