Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour officially kicked off on Wednesday, May 10, in Stockholm.
The 41-year-old, who hasn’t been on tour since 2016, didn’t disappoint as she belted out over 45 songs across a three-hour set.
Queen Bey opened the show in a silver jumpsuit with a rendition of Dangerously in Love, before performing a medley of hits from all seven of her studio albums.

Although the songstress is performing several UK and European dates as part of her tour, she has not announced a date in Ireland – leaving fans devastated.
The Renaissance World Tour will continue across Europe through June, before the North American leg kicks off in July.
According to Forbes, the tour could gross up to $2.4 billion from tickets alone by the time it ends in September.
The publication explains that the estimate is based on “optimistic” assumptions on the number of fans buying tickets and a high average ticket price of $700.

The estimate also includes the “considerable share” of merchandise proceeds Beyoncé will take home, and the tour expenses she will have to pay.
Beyoncé released her seventh studio album RENAISSANCE last year.
The album includes tracks Break My Soul, I’m That Girl, Cozy, Alien Superstar, Cuff It, Energy, Church Girl, Plastic Off The Sofa, Virgo’s Groove, Move, Heated, Thique, All Up In Your Mind, America Has A Problem, Pure/Honey, and Summer Renaissance.
