Beyoncé And Kelly Rowland Are Helping Out The Unhoused Population In Their Hometown Of Houston

Beyoncé is currently touring all over the world, but the “Break My Soul” singer hasn’t forgotten about her hometown. Beyoncé is collaborating with former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland to give back to Houston by creating 31 permanent housing units for Harris County’s unhoused population, according to the Houston Chronicle.

This initiative was revealed on Tuesday (June 27). County leaders will use $7.2 million in American Rescue Plan funds to develop housing at the Bread of Life gymnasium at 2019 Crawford Street. Judge Lina Hidalgo added that an “even bigger launch” on the housing units will be divulged in September when the Renaissance World Tour is stopping by the Texas city.

“Harris County and the city of Houston, jointly with the coalition for the homeless, have reduced homeless in the middle of the pandemic by 20 percent, and we’ve been able to hold that reduction,” Hidalgo said in a press conference. “We just did the homeless count again, so it’s initiatives like this one I certainly will be supportive of it no matter whose behind it, but it’s especially interesting, I think, because there are these names of Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, who, of course, have been supportive of the community for a very long time.”

Beyonce & Kelly

Beyoncé Dropped A Limited-Edition Renaissance Tour Merch Collection Via Amazon

Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour has been eventful, to say the least. Fans were arrested, Blue Ivy stole the show, and Lizzo got her entire life, all while Bey narrowly avoided wardrobe malfunctions and raised inflation rates in Sweden. US fans who weren’t able to travel to Europe for the first part of the tour have been anxiously awaiting Beyoncé’s return to the States, but in the meantime, she’s got something to hold them over: An exclusive, limited-edition merch drop with Amazon Music.

The collection — or at least, the first part of it, judging from that “1.0” in the tweet above — includes a sweatshirt, pants, and two t-shirts emblazoned with the now iconic image of Beyoncé astride a glistening horse from the cover of the album. The sweatpants simply feature the name of the tour down the side, but they sure do look cozy (they might just get more utility as workout gear than the last Ivy Park drop). I fully expect to see this drop sell out sooner rather than later, so get it while the gettin’ is good. Both t-shirts are $40, the sweatshirt is $80, and the pants are $75, so now may be the time to factor those prices into your budget for the tour.

Lizzo Was Spotted At Beyoncé’s Concert In Warsaw And Was As Enthusiastic As Possible

In May, Lizzo shared a TikTok about struggling to overcome hate. “Today was one of those days where I was very angry, very angry at the world. Saw a lot of mean sh*t about me on the internet, and I wanted to give up,” she explained. However, after expressing her gloomy feelings more, she ended the rant on a high note, saying, “Then, I reminded myself to get up, get out, and get some sun, and I put on Renaissance.”

Beyoncé’s music is an oasis for many people. That album in particular is an excuse for celebration. So, when Lizzo went to The Renaissance Tour on Tuesday, June 27, in Warsaw, it makes sense that she totally let loose and have fun. A clip is circulating of the “Truth Lies” singer in attendance at the event and she quite possibly might be the most enthusiastic person there. She’s caught dancing her heart out to “Church Girls” and raising a beer.

On social media, she once divulged how many times she’s seen the Lemonade legend. “I have seen Beyoncé perform live 10 times in my lifetime,” she wrote on Twitter. “and today the 11th time was on a IG live across a body of water of a hotel and I’m not ashamed.”

Beyonce & Jay-Z Play Uno & Take Beautiful Photos Together During France Trip

Beyonce may be one of the biggest acts touring across Europe at the moment, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t still take time to enjoy the historic continent on her days off. Most recently the 41-year-old has been making plenty of appearances in France with her husband, Jay-Z. One of their first stops in the city was Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton menswear runway debut. During that, Bey was seen filming her longtime friend like a proud mom during his big moment. Of course, the Carters were some of the best-dressed at the venue, along with celebrity friends like Rihanna, ASAP Rocky, and Zendaya.

Their lifestyles certainly have them used to luxury. Nevertheless, a sneakily captured photo of Beyonce and Jay-Z at lunch in France earlier this week proves that they know how to enjoy the simple things in life too. “Not Bey playing Uno with [Hov] today, they’re just like us I’m crying 😭😭😭,” one Twitter user wrote while sharing the image of the “Irreplaceable” singer holding a small collection of colourful cards in her hand.

Stars… They’re Just Like Us

As Daily Mail reports, the couple was dining at the world-famous la Colombe d’Or in Saint-Paul-de-Vence this week. Queen B looked ready to take on the stage in an elegant white dress complete with feather and sheer detailing. She combined the gown with chunky sunglasses and a black and white purse, waving and smiling at cameras on her way into the restaurant.

Jay-Z appeared to be in total vacation mode, wearing a printed button-up shirt with green leaves and golden keys displayed across it. He kept it casual in a pair of cargo shorts, adding a simple watch, sunglasses, and a silk scarf tied around his hair. Aside from the paparazzi images that have been captured, the mother of three also shared some heartwarming snaps in a photo dump, giving us some insight into how playful she and the New Yorker are together, even after all these years.

Beyonce Nip Slip Prevented By Dancer During “RENAISSANCE” World Tour

When an artist embarks on a tour, mistakes are sure to happen – even if that artist is Beyonce. So far the 41-year-old’s RENAISSANCE World Tour has been running relatively smoothly, though we have seen some eyebrow-raising moments as of late. In Amsterdam, Queen B looked noticeably angry when the production crew seemingly missed their cue to help her off her giant horse. At the time Twitter users joked about someone being fired after the incident, and from the look on the “Halo” singer’s face at the time, we wouldn’t be surprised if they were right.

Things seemed to be going better when Beyonce reached Germany, but as Page Six reports, she nearly suffered a serious wardrobe malfunction while performing in a hot pink dress. As she sang a fan favourite from her new album, “BREAK MY SOUL,” one of the Houston native’s longtime dancers noticed she was unconsciously preparing to flash her audience as the strap on her outfit began to slip. The performer has been identified as one of the Les Twins (consisting of Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois), and he chivalrously shielded Bey from the crowd as she made any necessary adjustments.

Beyonce Smoothly Saved from Near Mishap

As the video continues to gain traction on TikTok, the dancer is receiving immense praise for how he handled the situation. “Not the twins protecting her twins,” one person quipped. “He secured his spot on the next tour,” and “Those twins been with her a long time. I know she loves them,” others wrote. While this is the most major wardrobe malfunction we’ve seen on the RENAISSANCE Tour so far, cameras also caught Bey nearly losing her headpiece during “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM” recently.

Amid her many tour stops in Europe this month, Beyonce found time to visit Pharrell Williams in Paris as he was making his Louis Vuitton menswear debut. Others in attendance included Zendaya, Megan Thee Stallion, Rihanna, and ASAP Rocky. Check out some of their designer outfits at the link below, and tap back in later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Beyoncé Almost Suffered A Wardrobe Malfunction, But Her Dancers Les Twins Were There To Save The Day

Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour dancers Les Twins went above and beyond during her stop in Hamburg, Germany, saving her from an apparent wardrobe malfunction, according to Complex. It turns out they aren’t just there to make her look good, they’re also there to keep her from looking bad. Fans caught the incident on TikTok, capturing the moment as Beyoncé came close to bursting out of her dress and one of the twins stepped in front of her to make a split-second adjustment — all on beat in a move that would have left many fans none the wiser.

Fans on Twitter praised the dancers for being so aware in the moment and for pulling off the adjustment so smoothly. “Les twins will forever have a job,” one fan wrote. Another said they were “undoubtedly the greatest in the whole world.”

Another dancer who recently joined the ranks of Beyoncé’s team was the superstar’s own daughter, Blue Ivy. Blue stole the show during her first appearance and has become something of a fixture on the tour ever since. Beyoncé praised Blue Ivy for the performance, writing, “I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama. You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel.”

Stage Crew Visibly Upsets Beyoncé During Amsterdam ‘Renaissance Tour’ Stop

Screen Shot 2023 06 21 at 12.26.02 PM

Michael Jackson and Beyoncé both have something very important in common—they are both Virgos. Essentially that means they are hard-working perfectionist that stand for nothing less. This past weekend, the Queen Bee herself Mrs. Carter got visibly upset at her Renaissance Tour stage crew during her show in Amsterdam.

Beyonce’s glitter ball horse usually elevates during this part of the show but this time it didn’t. The crew seemed unsure of what to do next and Beyoncé was seen slapping a man’s hand away and mouthing ‘Oh My God!’ Not many people have seen Beyonce break character so everyone anticipates boss lady will be laying down the law following this onstage fiasco.
