Jay-Z joins Beyoncé again during tour at Atlanta concert: 'Give it up for my man'

Beyoncé-Knowles-Carter delivered her third show in Atlanta with a massive surprise, bringing out her husband, Jay-Z, for the first time on the U.S. leg of the tour following his cameo in Paris.

The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her show at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday, July 13, marking her third of four shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. During the concert, Beyoncé shocked the lively crowd when she welcomed Jay-Z to the stage as they sang their 2003 song, "Crazy in Love."

"Give it up for my man Jay-Z," Beyoncé said as he took the stage to roaring cheers from the crowd.

The hip-hop mogul went on to perform another 2003 hit – "Public Service Announcement."

The surprise appearance marked the second time Jay joined Beyoncé onstage on her "Cowboy Carter" tour – and his first time doing so in the U.S.

Jay-Z first took the stage with Beyoncé on this tour during Beyoncé's third concert at Stade de France in Paris on June 22, her last overseas show. He performed the same tunes along with his hit song, "N***as in Paris." With this surprise also came the return of her 2013 tracks "Partition" and "Drunk in Love."

Before exiting the stage, Bey and Jay shared a kiss on stage. One fan wrote "Paris and ATL won."

While doling out thanks toward the end of the show, Beyoncé said, "Please give it up for my favorite human in the world – my husband."

Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. 

The nine-city tour has spanned the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
