Three generations united onstage at Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour show Thursday, when she took time to congratulate her mother for becoming a New York Times bestseller.
After performing the Cowboy Carter cut "Protector" alongside daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi, she brought out her mom, Tina Knowles, and acknowledged the success of Tina's new memoir, Matriarch.
"Today is a big day because my mother, who worked so hard on her book, she has the #1 book on the New York Times bestsellers," Bey said. She then asked the crowd to join her in saying, "Congratulations, Mama T."
Tina previously took to Instagram to react to Matriarch being a NYT bestselling book. "I never dreamed that this day would come !" she captioned the post. "Thank yal for all the support and everyone who thought the book. God is good."
Released on April 22, Matriarch is a story about Black motherhood via Tina's life story.
She's currently promoting the book on a tour that kicked off in Washington, D.C., Wednesday and saw her try the viral "Boots on the Ground" line dance alongside moderator Michelle Obama. Bey's next stop is at LA's The Wiltern and will feature appearances from Keke Palmer and Jennifer Hudson.
