Despite a planned gig in Ireland on Saturday, Beyonce had some important business to take care of in London first.
The singer and her husband Jay Z were spotted at Wimbledon in London, cheering their close pal Serena Williams to victory in the women’s final against Angelique Kerber, which she won in straight sets (7-5, 6-3).
Mere mortals would have been worried about cutting it fine but no doubt Beyonce had a jet on standby to ensure she made it to her Formation concert in Croke Park.

Meanwhile, Croker only has a capacity of 82,300 but it feels like the entire country is heading there to see Beyonce perform tonight.
Queen Bey is FINALLY bringing her Formation world tour to Ireland and the whole country has Beyonce fever, with Saturday unofficially dubbed BeyDay.
Fans (celebrity and otherwise) have been taking to Twitter to share their excitement, post some excellent Beyonce gifs and to generally just make everyone who’s not going jealous.
Happy BeyDay all!!
