Pop superstars unite for a historic live rendition of ‘II Most Wanted’ in Paris
The electric atmosphere inside the Stade de France felt like it was charged with lightning. For the first time, global superstars Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus came together on stage to perform “II Most Wanted” — the anthem that captured hearts from last year’s Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé’s Grammy‑winning masterpiece.
More than a year after its release, the track has become one of the best‑loved moments of the album. Cowboy Carter earned Beyoncé her long‑awaited Grammy for Album of the Year and reaffirmed her status as one of the era’s defining voices. Its rich sound drew on a range of collaborators, including guitarist Adam Granduciel, and “II Most Wanted” quickly became a standout, capturing the attention of both die‑hard fans and newcomers alike.
Thursday night, as the Cowboy Carter Tour rolled into the packed stadium in the Paris suburb of Saint‑Denis, the magic became reality. Deep into the set, the lights fell and the ground shook as Miley Cyrus emerged from the depths of the stage. The roar that followed felt like a shockwave rippling across the venue.
In an electrifying moment, the two artists embraced before launching into the track that had been a long‑awaited live performance. Their vocals blended flawlessly, weaving a rich, soulful tapestry that left the stadium spellbound. The sight of two powerhouse voices sharing a microphone brought countless in the crowd to tears, capturing the essence of why live music can feel like a spiritual experience.
“II Most Wanted” was more than a song for this audience. It was a reminder of the creative force both artists have become, a moment in which their combined talents offered a glimpse of music’s future. Together, they commanded the space with an aura that felt both intimate and larger‑than‑life.
Through every verse and soaring harmony, it was clear why this collaboration resonated with so many. What had started as a studio recording came fully to life under the floodlights of one of Europe’s biggest arenas. The performance reaffirmed that both Beyoncé and Miley have the rare ability to connect deeply with listeners across boundaries of genre and generation.
The crowd erupted as the final chords faded, applause filling the stadium for long moments. The two embraced once more before Miley sank back into the mist, leaving Beyoncé to carry on with the rest of the set. But it was this moment — their long‑anticipated on‑stage union — that people would be talking about long after the lights came up.
For both artists, it was more than a performance. It was a statement about music’s power to unite, to heal, and to inspire. At the Stade de France, “II Most Wanted” became a piece of living history, cementing the legacies of two of the biggest names in music.
If you missed it, countless phone screens captured the scene from every angle, flooding social media with grainy but passionate glimpses of an unforgettable night. A moment that felt too big for one venue, too profound for one song, and too special to be anything less than iconic
