A Special Place for a Special Moment

Paris has always held a special place in Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s journey. It was here, years ago, that The Carters debuted the stunning visual album Apeshit, setting a high bar for creativity and artistry.

More recently, Beyoncé had surprised audiences by inviting Miley Cyrus to join her on stage during her Cowboy Carter tour. But nothing compared to the magic of seeing Jay-Z return to share the spotlight on “Crazy in Love,” a song that marked the beginning of Beyoncé’s solo career in 2003 and solidified their bond.

At the sold-out Stade de France, the crowd erupted in cheers the moment those unmistakable opening notes played. The chemistry between Beyoncé and Jay-Z was electric, full of mutual admiration and the kind of closeness only years of making music and life together can create.

Celebrating Their Roots and Their Journey

After their heartfelt performance, Beyoncé reflected on why Paris was the perfect place for this reunion:

“Paris has always been a special city for us. There’s no better place to remember where we come from and celebrate how far we’ve come.”

The song wasn’t just a fan favorite; it was a symbol of their shared history—one that blends love, artistry, and ambition. “Crazy in Love” launched Beyoncé as a solo superstar and established Jay-Z as her creative partner and romantic equal, a dynamic that’s inspired millions around the world.
