Beyoncé’s hometown show in Houston was the most savage Renaissance tour date yet. The superstar, 42, brought her Renaissance World Tour to Houston on Saturday, and Megan Thee Stallion — who also hails from the Texas city — came out on stage as a special guest. The two performed their collaboration “Savage (Remix).”

Harris County is showing their appreciation for Beyoncé in a major way!

This weekend, there is a lot of excitement as Beyoncé fans flock to Houston for two consecutive nights of concerts. Local officials are actively responding to express their gratitude for the significant economic upturn anticipated as a result of the singer’s return to her hometown.

Harris County commissioners granted approval for a resolution to symbolically rebrand the region as “Bey County” during the two days, coinciding with the Renaissance World Tour performances. The resolution highlights this gesture as a tribute to Beyoncé and her tour for several reasons: acknowledging the significant positive influence it exerts on the local economy, her steadfast dedication and service to the community, and commemorating her numerous achievements as an artist.

Before entertaining her hometown with a pair of concerts scheduled for this weekend, one of the world's biggest pop superstars took part in an event that illustrates her love for Houston and support for its most underprivileged residents.

Beyoncé, whose Renaissance World Tour will make stops Saturday and Sunday at NRG Stadium, was in Midtown on Friday morning to celebrate a forthcoming housing development for the homeless that will bear her name and that of a former bandmate. The Knowles-Rowland House will provide permanent supportive housing to 31 people in a three-story, 21,000-square foot facility to be built on the campus of St. John's Downtown Church – where the families of Beyoncé and fellow Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland have long been congregants.

Beyoncé stays supporting her fellow female artists.

Coi Leray took to Instagram on Tuesday (Sept. 12) to share a series of photos of a stunning white floral arrangement sent to her by Queen Bey herself. In the flowers was a sweet note that reads, “I’m a fan of yours and I love watching you grow. You’re a very talented young lady. Love, Beyoncé.”

“The queen has spoken .. Thank you for inspiring all of us not only with music but just how you carry yourself with such grace,” Leray captioned the post along with a string of pink heart emojis. “Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏽”

Beyoncé is still in the middle of her hugely successful "Renaissance" tour, but that didn't stop her from taking a little break to get some serious privacy to celebrate her birthday.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the singer rented out a spot called Mermaid Bay -- a string of 11 villas located within The Brando, a private island resort for the ultra-rich in French Polynesia.

Our sources say Beyoncé and crew arrived at the property September 5, and stayed at least through Friday the 8th ... with adults and kids all in tow.

As for her accommodations, we're told Beyoncé and Jay-Z stayed in the Bay's main residence -- a 4-bedroom villa that goes for around $20K per night -- and the rest of their group stayed among the 10 other villas ... which have 1, 2 and 3 bedroom options.

Of course, Beyoncé's actual birthday was September 4, and she celebrated it with Diana Ross and about 70,000 fans -- so the private island retreat looks like the perfect destination to unwind before taking on her 42nd year.

Beyoncé was back on tour in Vancouver Monday night ... so it's back on the grind after some serious rest and relaxation.

An entire galaxy of stars was in attendance at the Monday (Sept. 4) Renaissance World Tour show in Los Angeles to help Beyoncé celebrate her 42nd birthday — including none other than Diana Ross, who led the crowd in a dazzling performance of “Happy Birthday.”

The 79-year-old legend first appeared onstage in front of 60,000 screaming fans during one of the Renaissance World Tour’s regularly scheduled intermissions, which features Ross’ 1976 smash “Love Hangover” as an interlude between songs. Usually, it’s Bey’s backup singers who perform the transition — but this time, Ross herself was on hand to do the honors.

Afterward, Bey ran onstage to give the “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” vocalist a tearful hug. Then, encouraging fans to hold up their phone flashlights, Ross led the crowd at SoFi Stadium in singing “Happy Birthday” to the pop star.
