Beyoncé Shares Victoria Monét & Teyana Taylor’s Tribute to Her and Usher at the 2024 BET Awards
Beyoncé appears to have given her stamp of approval on Victoria Monét and Teyana Taylor‘s recreation of her and Usher‘s 2004 “Bad Girl” performance during the 2024 BET Awards Sunday night (June 30).
The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer shared clips on her Instagram Story Tuesday (July 2) of the duo performing “Bad Girl” from Usher’s 2004 magnum opus Confessions during his tribute performance, before Usher received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Beyoncé and Usher famously performed the song together in 2004 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot as part of his Truth Tour. Showtime filmed his Puerto Rico stop for the One Night One Star: Usher Live broadcast special in 2005, which also featured special guests Lil Jon, Ludacris, Daddy Yankee and Fat Joe. Grammy-nominated director and choreographer Frank Gaston Jr. choreographed Beyoncé and Usher’s performance that Monét and Taylor paid homage to over the weekend.
