Kelly Rowland's Viral 'Shut Up' Moment at Beyoncé’s Rodeo Show

Destiny's Child reunited for the final show of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter's (M) $387.8M-grossing, 32-date Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour in Paradise, NV on Saturday night

SCANDALOUS CELEBRITY NEWS

Get ready for a dose of drama, excitement, and high-profile reunions as the Queen Bey herself, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, brought together her iconic girl group Destiny's Child for their highly-anticipated reunion at the final show of her record-breaking Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour in Paradise, NV on Saturday night.

The sold-out crowd was treated to a medley of their early 2000s hits "Lose My Breath" and "Bootylicious," but it was their performance of Beyoncé's chart-topping song "Energy" that stole the show. The disco-inspired track originated from her viral 'Everybody on Mute' challenge, which left fans screaming in Allegiant Stadium. However, Kelly Rowland couldn't resist throwing some shade by waiting a whopping five seconds before mouthing "shut up" to the still-frenzied crowd.

The 43-year-old R&B diva (M), Kelly Rowland (R), and Michelle Williams (L) performed a medley of their early aughts-era tracks Lose My Breath and Bootylicious, but it was the moment they helped sing her 2022 track Energy which went viral

But don't worry, folks; it was all just a carefully choreographed move as Beyoncé cracked a reassuring smile, letting her devoted fans know she wasn't truly upset.

This epic reunion marked a significant milestone for the group, who last performed together at California's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2018. Destiny's Child had apparently gone on an indefinite hiatus since their split in 2005. But what was even more exciting is that Kelly Rowland's return to the stage comes after she sparked controversy earlier this year when she pulled out of her son Titan Jewell Weatherspoon's basketball games due to her infamous hot-tempered nature.

"I'm the spirited mom," the Grammy-winning singer confessed on The Jennifer Hudson Show in January. "My husband [Tim Weatherspoon] is like, 'You know, you should stay home this game.' And I'm like, 'Word?' It's really great though because it's teaching [Titan] sportsmanship."

The disco-inspired song originated Beyoncé's 'Everybody on Mute' challenge, and Kelly (born Kelendria) waited five seconds before mouthing 'shut up' to the fans still screaming inside Allegiant Stadium

It seems Kelly and her 51-year-old ex-manager have been focusing on their family life lately. The couple welcomed their adorable four-year-old son Noah Jon Weatherspoon during their decade-long marriage.

But let's get to the juicy part! Kelly Rowland made headlines last year when she stood up for herself against a pushy female usher at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Marcello Mio. In a shocking display of sass, the Atlanta-born beauty told the security guard, "Don't talk to me like that. Don't talk to me like that!" according to TikTok lip reader @tismejackieg.

The unidentified staffer was also caught on camera scolding and placing her hands on Dominican actress Massiel Taveras and K-pop sensation Yoona on the red carpet. Talk about a major meltdown!

But what's even more scandalous is that Kelly walked off the set of TODAY after being 'offended' by Savannah Guthrie repeatedly asking her about Beyoncé instead of her own project during their 8am interview.

The Building The Band judge was scheduled to fill in for Jenna Bush Hager as guest host of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna but left Studio 1A at Rockefeller Center after she and her team felt 'unhappy and disrespected.' According to TheWrap, Kelly's representatives were "furious" about the line of questioning.

It seems Kelly Rowland is back in the spotlight, but this time as a coach on series 14 of The Voice UK alongside will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, and Tom Fletcher & Danny Jones. She'll also be serving opening act duties for Brandy and Monica's highly-anticipated 27-date The Boy Is Mine Tour, kicking off at Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, OH on October 16.

And if that weren't enough, Kelly has been busy working on her acting career as well. Last April, she co-starred with Cliff 'Method Man' Smith in Linda Mendoza's upcoming rom-com Relationship Goals for Amazon MGM Studios, based on Michael Todd's bestselling novel.

But don't expect a new album from the talented singer anytime soon; Kelly's last full-length record was Talk a Good Game in 2013. However, she has been featured on Ayra Starr's chart-topping track "Bloody Samaritan (Remix)" in 2022.

The four-time Grammy winner has also built an impressive influencer empire with over 43.6 million social media followers and lucrative partnerships with top brands like Lancôme, Jurassic World: The Experience, Airbnb, Infatuation Los Angeles, Pull-Ups, and Shiseido.

The four-time Grammy winner allegedly told the security guard: 'Don't talk to me like that. Don't talk to me like that! No, don't talk to me like that. You are not my mother, and you don't talk to me like that. I'm not a child, don't talk to me like that'

With her highly-anticipated reunion tour, new acting roles, and upcoming projects as a coach on The Voice UK, Kelly Rowland is ready to take the world by storm once again. Get ready for a wild ride!
