In a heartwarming moment during the Renaissance World Tour last night on September 4, the legendary singer Diana Ross made a special appearance to wish Beyoncé a happy 42nd birthday.
As Diana Ross joined her on stage, Beyoncé appeared to be deeply moved. Ross stood beside her, held her hand, and sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to the superstar. The crowd was invited to join in, and Beyoncé expressed her excitement by joyfully skipping in place.
After the birthday serenade, the iconic duo shared a warm hug. Beyoncé became emotional and teary-eyed as she expressed her gratitude to Ross for “opening doors” for her in the entertainment industry. It was a touching moment celebrating both Beyoncé’s birthday and the influence of a legendary artist.
“You are so amazing. This is the legendary Diana Ross,” she joyously told the audience at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.
“There would be no me without you. Thank you so much for all of your sacrifice and your beauty and your grace,” she continued. “Thank you for opening doors for me.
The two singers remained on stage, holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes. Diana Ross expressed her feelings of being “lucky” to be a part of the Renaissance World Tour in that moment, creating a heartfelt and memorable connection between the iconic performers.
“You sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to me, so I wanted to sing it to you,” Ross added, referring to the time in 2019 when the “Cuff It” singer performed a rendition of “Happy Birthday To You” at Ross’s 75th birthday, at the request of Ross’s daughter, Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross.
