It was billed as the epic event of the year; a ridiculously lofty title that even within the razzle dazzle showbiz universe we live in can come off as pure, eye rolling hype.

But even if Tuesday’s (October 20) buzz-heavy, star-studded Tidal X concert at Brooklyn’s Barclay Center—headlined by Jay Z and Beyonce, and backed up by the roaring likes of Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, French Montana, Usher, Nick Jonas, Nas, and Lil Wayne—didn’t have extended set lists by these music mavens (all did one or two songs, yet the consensus is the head-banging, hair whipping Queen Bey stole the show), the sheer star power of it all was still impressive.

Yet for the thousands of fans who were a part of the fast-paced festivities, a chest-beating statement to celebrate 1 million subscribers of the Jay Z owned streaming music service Tidal, the nonprofit charity show featured an omnipresent brand throughout the main stage of the arena home of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets as well as behind-the-scenes: D’USSE cognac. Of course, this was by no means some ham-fisted advertising ploy.

Fresh from celebrating her 34th birthday earlier this week, Beyonce got back to doing what she does best - owning a stage. The singer was one of the headline acts at Budweiser Made In America festival last night, which was founded by her husband Jay-Z in 2012.

Other acts include Nick Jonas, Big Sean and Santigold - but she stole the show hands down. Beyonce's setlist started off with crowd-pleaser Crazy in Love (50 Shades of Grey remix), and took in Bootylicious, Survivor, Drunk in Love and most of her flawless back catalogue.

Her amazing outfit changes included a custom-made James Harden jersey-inspired swimsuit - a nod to her and Jay-Z's love of basketball - a bejewelled lingerie set under a red robe and metallic cut-out bodysuit with red PVC thigh-high boots. Check out Queen Bey looking fierce and sexy below:

#BBB NEWS| Oprah And Beyoncé Snag Top Spots On Forbes’ ‘World’s 100 Most Powerful Women’

Forbes released their annual list of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women,” and 2015’s lineup featured 34 women of color, including internationally-known powerhouses, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

The business magazine winded down an extensive catalog with well over 300 names to just 100 in eight areas: billionaires, business, celebrity, finance, media, philanthropy and intergovernmental organizations, politics and technology. It then concluded who ranks at which spot on the final list based on international impact and influence, and finances.

The first black First Lady of the United States fell two spots and landed at number 10, with Forbes citing Michelle Obama’s efforts in aiding homeless veterans in America and young women around the world. Oprah Winfrey was bumped up two spots, ranking at number 12 as a self-made billionaire with a growing $3 billion net worth.
