The Mrs Carter Show is a high-octane foot-stomping, fist-pumping, hair-flipping spectacle and that was just team ELLE in the crowd!

Queen B knows how to put on a show and last night, we joined thousands of screaming fans at London’s O2 arena to watch Mrs Carter, her all-female band and troop of dancers for the hottest ticket of the year.

Complete with 12 outfit changes, guitars shooting fireworks and a glittering Beyoncé gliding above the adoring crowd on a zip-wire, the show didn’t skimp on showmanship and spectacle.

Beyoncé showcased a couple of clever, new music mash-ups, mixing If I Were a Boy with The Verve’s Bitter Sweet Symphony and Halo with Whitney Houston/Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You.

The best bit? The second half of the show when Bey Bey performed some her best hits in quick succession - Irreplaceable, Love On Top, Survivor, Crazy In Love and Single Ladies.

We needed a long lie down in a cool, dark room after that.

That voice. That body. Those dance moves. Who runs the world? Beyoncé of course.
