Beyoncé’s highly-praised Renaissance World Tour is wrapping up on October 1st, and what better way to close it out than with a surprise from her original Destiny’s Child members showing up over the weekend to cheer her on?
The tour would still be amazing regardless, but seeing Latoya Luckett, LaTavia Roberson, and Kelly Rowland, who started Destiny’s Child with Beyoncé, felt like a full-circle moment. Beyoncé went solo in 2003 with her hit album, “Dangerously in Love.”
Remember, Destiny’s Child burst onto the scene in 1998 with their debut album released by Columbia Records. The album sold over a million copies in the U.S., and the remix of their famous song “No, No, No” topped the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.
The group found massive success quickly but parted ways in 2000. Roberson told People magazine she was dismissed from the group and found out after the “Say My Name” video, where she and Luckett were replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. As they say, there are three sides to every story: each person’s version and the truth. It appears they’ve moved past their differences.
At the event, Luckett looked stylish in a silver corset and black cowgirl hat, while Roberson stunned in a black lace catsuit with diamond earrings. Also supporting Beyoncé were Franklin and Michelle Williams. Although Franklin was with the group for only a few months, she showed up grinning in a black crystal corset and pants. Williams wore a black crop top with rhinestone fringe layered under a silver sequined blazer. Rowland dazzled in a silver top that shone like a star.
It was heartwarming to see Destiny’s Child members unite at the Houston stop of the Renaissance tour, showing their support and admiration for Beyoncé. Who knows, maybe a few years down the road, there could be a reunion like SWV and Xscape. We might want to start saving up just in case that happens!
