Ella A, who's a singer herself, tells Newsbeat The three-hour show " felt like a tour throughout her career".

" There's something about being amongst 50,000 people singing passionately to The same song And Then seeing an artist you've grown up with your whole life.
" There were also lots and lots and lots and lots of lights. I don't think I've ever seen that many lights. "
" You could have been anywhere in The World tonight But you choose to be here with me, " is how Beyoncé opens The Show .

So much so that Grammy award record-holder Beyoncé reportedly made The decision to make some bathrooms at The Venue gender neutral.
" As soon as we entered The stadium we saw The Stage has The all-genders flag and it's got The trans flag, The LGBTQ+, and that's The visual you have for like, two, Three Hours , " Alicia says.
" She's paying tribute to The LGBTQ community. "
It's something Ella noticed too.
" Just watching everybody, this crowd of people Together . . somehow, they were all so inclusive and united, " she says.
" It's such an inclusive community connected out of love for music, dance, art and Bey herself. "
