But those hoping for that laundry, dirty or clean, to be hung out for the entire evening will have been disappointed.įinally, as the show came to a close, the pair came together to echo the finale of their first On The Run tour. Taking on Justin Timberlake’s part from 'Holy Grail', Jay-Z’s 2013 single, Beyoncé turned to face her husband as she sang, “You curse my name in spite to put me to shame / Hang my laundry in the street, dirty or clean.” Jay cocked his head back, on his face the kind of uncomfortable smirk worn by a chided school boy.

But whether the infidelity was dreamed up in a boardroom or a bedroom, the question remains the same: how can they go back to performing as a united front when they’ve so publicly prised that front apart? Last night at London Stadium, that question was not exactly answered, but the show was explosive nonetheless.Īrriving on stage as the words, “This is real life” appeared on screen (a little too insistent, perhaps), the couple began the night intertwined, Jay’s arm wrapped around Beyoncé as they rose up together on a hydraulic platform. The fact that they’ve now embarked on a 48-date tour, a performative reconciliation for which fans clamoured to get tickets, might suggest as much. We’ll most likely never know whether the whole thing was simply a publicity stunt – an exploitation of the public’s propensity for gossip in order to boost the couple’s collective careers.
