TWEEPS REACT TO BEYONCÉ KNOWLES MEETING TINA TURNER
Earlier this year, Beyoncé was said to have performed at the Atlantis The Royal hotel in Dubai and was paid $24 million (an estimated R462 million) for an hour-long set, Forbes reported. The superstar is currently on her Renaissance World Tour. The high-anticipated tour began in Stockholm on 10 May, Pop Buzz reported. This time, Beyoncé’s live performances were said to be expected to last an average of two and a half hours long.
But long before Beyoncé had made her mark in the industry as one of the highest earners in the lucrative world of exclusive events, she aspired to be like other stars.
A video showing her meeting the late rock ‘n’ roll icon was circulated on Twitter after the news broke that the What’s Love Got To Do With It hitmaker had died. In the video, Beyoncé can be seen completely starstruck by Tina Turner as she hops on over to hug her. The Love On Top hitmaker can then be heard saying that it was a dream of hers to meet the late Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll, saying,
“Since I was a kid, I saw her tapes, [and] I wanted to be like her. This is literally a dream to me.”
After watching the adorable clip, Tweeps and fans were worried about how Beyoncé would cope during her tour after she hears about the devastating news.
