Jay-Z Joins Beyoncé for ‘Crazy in Love’ & More in Surprise Duet in Paris

By Riley

The Cowboy Carter songstress wrapped a long weekend in Paris with her husband by her side at Stade de France, just north of the capital, where the Cowboy Carter Tour had a three-night run (June 19, 21 and 22).

Surprise guest Jay-Z joined his wife on the pair’s 2003 hit “Crazy in Love” and was there for a version of 2013’s “Drunk in Love” remixed with “Partition,” and brought his own “N—-s in Paris” to the city. (Jay originally recorded “Paris” with Ye, for their collaborative Watch the Throne album that topped the Billboard 200 in 2011; Ye was, unsurprisingly, not a part of Jay’s performance Sunday.)

The last time Bey and Jay, aka The Carters, performed in concert together was at Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Dec. 2, 2018.

Sunday’s Jay-Z surprise follows a surprise appearance by Miley Cyrus on Paris night one. Beyoncé and Miley treated the June 19 audience to the live debut of their Cowboy Carter ballad “II Most Wanted.”

The Cowboy Carter Tour returns to the U.S. next, resuming on June 28 for pair of hometown shows in Houston.
