On Monday, theSister, Sisteractress attended Beyoncé’s final Los Angeles-area show on her RenaissanceWorld Tourat the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Beyoncé then gave a nostalgic tribute to Mowry, 45, after noticing the actress in the audience.
In the middle of singing her 2011 ballad “1+1,” the Grammy-winning artist created an impromptu remix, adding Mowry’s early ’90s single, “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!” Like Queen Bey, theTwitchesstar used to be in a girl group with her twin sister,Tamera Mowry, and several other childhood singers.

In a 1998 episode of the series titled “A Date with Destiny,”Destiny’s Childmade a guest appearance when they performed alongside Tahj in a music video for their song “No, No, No.”
“The first time I met@beyoncewas during her Destiny’s Child days when she was on a production with my brother@tahj_mowry,” Tia explained in an Instagram post on Tuesday recapping the events that led to Monday’s epic moment.
In her carousel, the first photo showed the four members of Destiny’s Child posing as teenagers with Tia and Tamera.
She continued, “You can truly see how amazing and detailed an artist she is, and how much thought and love was put into this show.”
She then admitted that “the highlight of the night was when she saw me in the crowd, and she gave me a smile and a hello, and then started singing ‘yeah, yeah, yeah’ from when@tameramowrytwoand I were in the singing group, Voices!”
