'Absolutely amazing': Madison Keys thrilled by unexpected Beyonce concert in London

Madison Keys made time in her schedule to attend a Beyoncé concert during her stint at the Queen's Club Championships in London. The 2025 Australian Open champion took advantage of her early exit from the tournament to attend a concert by the renowned artist for the first time.

The 2nd seed secured her first grass-court wins of the season against Anastasia Zakharova and Diana Shnaider, but was surprisingly eliminated in the semifinals by Germany's Tatjana Maria – who came through qualifying and subsequently became the tournament champion.

During the tournament days, Keys took the opportunity to go to a concert by one of her favorite artists, and after her 6-3, 7-6(3) semifinal elimination, she spoke about the spontaneous decision to go to the concert. "That was amazing. I have actually never seen Beyonce. So I was on the train from Paris to here, and I was texting Laura, and she was, like, 'Oh, you should come to Beyonce tonight.' So I immediately, on the train, was buying tickets. It was absolutely amazing. It was so fun," said Madison Keys.

"I feel like concerts here are always so much more fun. Everyone puts so much more effort in, like the outfits were phenomenal. We got a little bit lost. I was laughing, because I was, like, 'Follow the cowboy boots and the hats.' I've never seen them in London. We're all going to the same place."
