Leaked clips of $24 million Dubai efficiency delight followers

beyonce Fans around the world rejoiced all weekend after attendees flouted a “no recordings” policy at an invitation-only concert in Dubai. The Renaissance singer performed at Grand Reveal Weekend Atlantis the Royal–the second Atlantis hotel in the country.

After four years away from the stage, Beyoncé wowed guests and fans alike with stunning outfits, clean vocals, a perfectly curated set and a surprise performance Blue Ivy.

Multiple sources, including Vibe and Bloomberg, have reported that she was offered $24 million for the hour-long concert. Meanwhile, The Daily Mail reports that she was paid $35 million. Beyoncé and The Atlantis Royal have not confirmed the payout number.

Days before the Jan. 21 show, audio of Beyoncé allegedly leaked online at rehearsals.

On the day of the event, guests were reportedly given designated pouches to keep their phones safe, according to The Cut. But the contestants, unable to resist the Bey magic, stole footage that made it online instantly.

Beyoncé first graced the event’s carpet, wearing a glittering gold gown with sheer cutouts that reached from her waist to her ankles. She added a thick, color-matching cover-up, signature wavy blonde centimeters, and teardrop earrings to her look.

Entertainment Tonight reports that their looks, from carpet to stage, reflected designs by Dolce & Gabbana, Dubai’s Atelier Zuhra, Lebanon’s Nicolas Jebran and Ukraine’s Frolov.

A big fireworks display opened the show as Beyoncé rose from below the stage in front of a big prop sun. She wore a bright yellow dress as she strapped on to Etta James’ 1960 song “At Last.”

According to Entertainment Tonight, the performance featured a 48-piece all-female orchestra called Firdaus and an all-female dance troupe from Lebanon called The Mayyas, which won 2022’s America’s Got Talent.

Beyoncé performed classics like XO, Crazy In Love and Brown Skin Girl. Blue Ivy, wearing a red ensemble, showed up on stage to perform Brown Skin Girl with Mom.

When the 11-year-old began doing a viral TikTok choreography to the song, Bey seemingly cut it off with a flick of the wrist and touched her Ivy’s long braids. Twitter is still clipping on that particular clip, praising the moment Beyoncé pulled Blue in for a hug.
