Beyoncé fans endured a massive storm this weekend to see her perform, and Queen Bey returned the favor by making sure her hive got home safely after the show.
The R&B star was in Maryland on Sunday (August 6) as part of her Renaissance Tour, and was set to perform at FedEx Field right before a storm unleashed its fury on the state. Videos showed lightning storms and pummeling rain soaking concertgoers, who got a shelter-in-place order while waiting to enter the stadium.

The Beyoncé fans were crammed inside the stadium entrance for two hours before being allowed to enter, and luckily the weather subsided enough for the show to start.
However, due to the show running late, the Metro train’s service hours needed to be extended in order for fans to get home, and that meant someone needed to pay the bill to make that happen. Bey’s ‘Renaissance’ tour company footed the bill, coming out to $100,000, according to TMZ.
This allowed the trains at the surrounding 98 stations to run for an extra 60 minutes, and it sounds like that might’ve bled into the early morning hours of Monday (August 7).
Beyoncé has made it a habit of showing love and support for her fans on her Renaissance Tour. At a show in Toronto last month, a fan had brought a sign saying: “It’s my mom’s b-day!” to the show and held it up high while he stood in the front row, which successfully caught Bey’s attention.

She proceeded to shout out the fan’s mother, much to their delight.
The “Cuff It” singer also met with a few fans outside of her show in Barcelona, Spain, and was seen on video handing out merch and speaking with them.

Beyoncé also linked up with Jack Harlow and his mother while in Louisville, and was seen in a photo holding a tall gift bag — the kind usually used to carry a bottle of liquor or spirits — although it’s unclear if she was gifted this from Jack and his mom.
“Introduced my Mom to Beyoncé in Louisville, Kentucky tonight,” Harlow wrote in a post on Threads.
