Beyoncé gave special thanks to Paul McCartney after completing her Cowboy Carter  tour's six-show run at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last night.

"Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made.

"Every time I sing it I feel so honoured," the singer wrote, referring to The Beatles' 'Blackbird', which was featured as a rendition on her Grammy-winning country record Cowboy Carter (2024).

The post shows the singer wearing a white shirt with two blackbirds, a creation by McCartney's daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney. "It is a full-circle moment to wear your beautiful daughter’s design," added Beyoncé.

"Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family," she wrote, promising to "Holla at ‘ya when I come on tour again!"

Paul McCartney complimented Beyoncé's cover of 'Blackbird' in his own Instagram post back in 2024.

"I am so happy with Beyoncé’s version of my song ‘Blackbird’.

"I think she does a magnificent version of it, and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place," McCartney's statement read.

'Blackbird' was written by Paul McCartney for The Beatles' 1968 self-titled double LP, commonly referred to as The White Album.

McCartney said that Little Rock Nine, a group of African American students who encountered severe hardships while assimilating into the all-white Little Rock Central High School in 1957, served as his inspiration.

Beyoncé gave the track her own spin, with the title ‘Blackbiird’ referencing Cowboy Carter’s ‘Act II’ motif.
