“We love Paris. It’s special to us because we got engaged here and this is where baby Blue was conceived,” the rap star said.
Beyoncé and Jay Z were married in 2008.
Nicki Minaj joined Beyoncé onstage for their collaboration, “Flawless,” which excited the crowd of nearly 80,000. Beyoncé and Jay Z off kicked the three-hour show with “‘03 Bonnie & Clyde.” They also performed the hits “Crazy In Love,” ‘‘Single Ladies,” ‘‘Big Pimpin,” ‘‘Dirt Off Your Shoulder” and “Drunk In Love.”
“I’m your biggest fan. I love you,” a teary eyed Beyoncé, 33, said looking to Jay Z, 44. He replied: “Greatest entertainer in the world. I love her. She’s my wife.”
The Saturday night concert mirrored the sentiments from last month’s MTV Video Music Awards, where a teary Beyoncé was joined onstage by Jay Z and Blue Ivy, amid the numerous rumors surrounding their marriage.
The Paris show was being filmed for an HBO special to air in September. The duo also performed Friday in Paris.
Beyoncé and Jay Z kicked off the “On the Run” tour in June.
