Beyoncé is rumored to have been paid $24 million for an exclusive concert in Dubai’s luxury hotel opening, #AtlantisTheRoyal.
The Grammy-winning star gave a nearly 75-minute performance Saturday in Dubai to help launch the city’s new luxurious and opulent hotel.
Attendees at the invite-only event included Jay-z, Tina Knowles-Lawson, and Mathew Knowles and her three children, as well as celebrity guests, influencers, and business people tied to the hotel.
Blue Ivy, 11, received loud applause from the crowd as she entered the stage to perform “Brown Skin Girl,” the collaboration with her mother won both of them a Grammy Award in 2021.
In a feathery, bright yellow ensemble, Beyoncé kicked off the concert singing her version of Etta James’ “At Last,” which she famously covered in 2008 when she played James in Cadillac Records. Beyoncé also sang the classic song during Barack Obama’s first dance with Michelle Obama on the night of his inauguration in 2009.
Beyoncé didn’t perform any tracks from her latest dance album, Renaissance, but she did sing other numbers, including “Beautiful Liar,” “Otherside,” “Ave Marie,” and “Flaws and All.” She gave a mostly soft, acoustic-styled set throughout the concert.
Did you all enjoy the play-by-play from the attendees? 🐝 #BWLM💕
