Beyoncé took a moment to thank her idol Diana Ross after the latter made a surprise appearance at her show in Los Angeles last week.
On Monday, the “Crazy In Love” singer, 42, shared a sweet message dedicated to Ross, 79, alongside photos of the two of them on stage together during Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour. The photos captured the mother of three’s reaction to Ross singing “Happy Birthday.”
“Thank you to the incomparable Ms. Diana Ross,” Beyoncé wrote in her Instagram caption, before referencing her lyrics to “Alien Superstar” to further sing Ross’ praises. “1 of 1, number 1, the only one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my Queen. 🐝.”

In a viral video shared on the night of Beyoncé’s birthday concert, the “Cuff It” artist jumped up and down with excitement after being serenaded by Ross.
“Thank you so much, you’re so amazing,” Beyoncé told Ross on stage at SoFi Stadium. “This is the legendary Diana Ross! I wouldn’t be here without you and thank you so much for all your sacrifice and your beauty and your graces. Thank you for opening the door for me. Thank you so much.”
“You sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to me so I wanted to sing it to you,” Ross replied, grinning from ear to ear. In 2019, Beyoncé sang “Happy Birthday” to Ross at the Motown singer’s 75th birthday party at the Warwick in Los Angeles, California.
