Beyoncé paid tribute to Prince with an emotional, show-stopping performance during her concert in Dallas on Monday night.
The
"Formation" singer served up a moving rendition of the late legend's
"The Beautiful Ones," which she previously performed at the Glastonbury
Festival in 2011.
Crouching
down on stage as she fiercely belted out the lyrics, the 34-year-old
chart-topper appeared close to tears as her passionate voice filled
AT&T Stadium.
Stealing emotional glances skyward, the "Crazy in Love" crooner poignantly honored her music idol, who died last month at the age of 57.
In a further nod to the musician, Bey also turned the stage purple while playing "Purple Rain"
The
pair actually performed the track together at the 2004 GRAMMYs and
Beyoncé totally fangirled when she met the icon! "I was terrified," she
later told Giant Magazine. "Walking into rehearsals I was just so overwhelmed and nervous and starstruck."
To
help calm her nerves, Prince suggested they rehearse for one hour daily
in the week leading up to the performance, and while she was still
nervous on the night of the big show, she nailed it.
It
wasn’t until two years later that the songstress watched footage of the
performance – and had to pinch herself. "I was like, 'Are you serious?
Like, I was on the stage with Prince? Are you serious? That is crazy,'"
she recalled. "I still can’t believe it."
