Flawless.”Beyoncé kicked off her Renaissance World Tour in Stockholm, Sweden, on Wednesday, and it seemed to be a show full of memorable moments and elaborate art choices.The tour is in support of her chart-topping 2022 album “Renaissance.”The Grammy-winning singer paid tribute to Britney Spears at one point during the concert, sampling the pop star’s 2003 hit “Toxic” during her own performance of the “Renaissance” song “THIQUE.”In a clip posted on Twitter, Queen Bey is seen onstage in a rhinestone-encrusted, sheer mesh custom Loewe bodysuit entwined with hands and arms; she moves her body alongside two dancers as they perform to a mashup of the stringed notes from “Toxic” blended into Beyoncé’s own song.In the past, the singer has worked with Spears, who has an explosive TV special coming up about her life post-conservatorship.

In 2004, they sang Queen’s “We Will Rock You” together in a commercial for Pepsi alongside Pink, who also will launch a huge world tour this summer.Beyoncé and Spears were supposed to collaborate on a new music video this year, but things didn’t quite work out.But that wasn’t the only highlight of Beyoncé’s show Wednesday night – on Twitter, other fans noticed the ending of the concert, where she was suspended from the ceiling and flew across the stadium.
