Friday night's Jay-Z concert gave fans an unexpected Destiny's Child sighting when Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams were filmed dancing together in a suite at SoFi Stadium. The three women were enjoying the rapper's anniversary concert in Inglewood, California, and although they weren't there to perform, their reunion was certainly a welcome surprise.

Footage shared by TMZ captured the longtime friends enjoying the music during the Oct. 23 show. The outing follows their surprise appearance together during Beyoncé's final Cowboy Carter Tour performance in Las Vegas last year, where they performed a medley of Destiny's Child hits.

Rihanna also attended the concert, watching from the stadium floor while dancing along to the music. The singer was photographed posing with fans throughout the evening. Kendrick Lamar was another familiar face spotted in the audience. The impressive turnout was fitting for Jay-Z's celebration of 30 years since Reasonable Doubt, which has included performances in New York and overseas before arriving in Los Angeles for two final shows.

Blue Ivy Shows Off Piano Skills During Jay-Z's Concert

While Beyoncé enjoyed the performance with her former groupmates, her daughter Blue Ivy Carter joined Jay-Z onstage for a special appearance. The 14-year-old played piano during "The Story of O.J." and "Dead Presidents," receiving a warm reception from the audience. The teenager previously accompanied her father on piano at Yankee Stadium in July, performing "Feelin' It." She's also become a familiar presence at her mother's concerts, having danced during both the Renaissance World Tour and Cowboy Carter Tour.

In a March interview with GQ, Jay-Z praised his daughter's musical abilities, saying she has perfect pitch and can teach herself songs by ear. Interestingly, he said Blue Ivy has little interest in taking formal lessons. "Blue is a crazy pianist, but she won't let us get her a teacher," he explained. "She doesn't want it to be a job."

Jay-Z returns to SoFi Stadium on Saturday (Oct. 24) for the final performance of his anniversary concert series. Friday's show featured surprise appearances from Scarface, while John Legend joined DJ Khaled for "God Did." With another night remaining, the guest list isn't necessarily finished growing.
