Best concert ever?!
That's what most viewers said after watching Beyoncé and Jay Z's highly anticipated On the Run special Saturday night on HBO.
The
150 minute plus concert (that was also commercial free!) gave everyone
the opportunity to experience the magic and amazingness of the couple's
stadium tour that wrapped up just one week ago in France.
Although
there weren't any major announcements (she's not pregnant and no, they
aren't getting divorced), viewers still had plenty of reasons to "Bow
Down" to the couple.
For those who missed out or for those who
want their Bey and Jay Z love validated, we're here to help. Here are
six things we couldn't get enough of while watching Saturday night.
 |
1) Beyoncé's Costumes: From amazing onesies to long-flowing dresses, Queen Bey consistently looked stunning throughout the show.
And according to fashion designer Michael Costello, the singer was very hands on throughout the entire process.
"She's
such a visual person. She knows exactly what she wants…I have a
newfound appreciation for her," he told E! News exclusively when
explaining the Paris wardrobe. "The colors are very beautiful, and the
prints are very sparkly. She really does bring a piece to life!"
2) Beyoncé & Jay Z's Chemistry: One minute into
the show, we saw the husband and wife kissing in front of the cameras.
It only continued throughout the night as they both looked into each
other's eyes on multiple occasions.
The love fest reached an all-time high when they thanked one another for an amazing tour.
"I'm
your biggest fan. Give it up for Mr. Carter," Beyoncé told the crowd.
Jay Z replied, "It's been an honor to share the stage with the woman I
love who I think is the greatest entertainer of our time."
Trouble in paradise? We don't see it here!
3) Behind-the-Scenes Videos: Where do we even begin with the pre-taped videos shown throughout the night on the big screen?
Whether
it was Beyoncé holding onto a gun, Jay Z smoking cigarettes shirtless
or Beyoncé's sexy mug shot, we were glued to the screen in anticipation
for what would appear next.
It's just another way the couple made their shows not just a concert, but an experience.
4) Hit After Hit After Hit: Whether you like Top 40, hip-hop, R&B or rap, there were songs for every music fan during the show.
From "Crazy in Love" to "99 Problems," all the couple's favorites were included.
We
also can't help but applaud the Paris crowd for their enthusiasm
throughout the night. Whether doing the "Single Ladies" dance in unison
or jumping together during "N--gas in Paris," that crowd was a devoted
crowd. Bravo, ladies and gentlemen!
5) Their "Young Forever" Performance: Is it okay to admit we may have become a little emotional while watching this performance?
As
the couple performed "Young Forever," pictures from their wedding day
flashed on the screen. We also couldn't help but notice Jay Z putting
his hand around Beyoncé's back at they watched the footage together.
A truly memorable performance from two unforgettable artists.
6) Oh, and Their "Halo" Performance Too: Two words: Blue Ivy!
As
Queen Bey performed her hit single, we couldn't stop staring at the
giant screen as we watched her baby girl enjoy birthdays, vacations and
playtime with mom and dad.
After watching that, we can only hope baby No. 2 is on the way!
