Meanwhile, the Obamas reportedly made a surprise reappearance at FedEx Field, five years after taking in Beyoncé’s 2018 On the Run II at the stadium.
Sunday’s show (August 6), was plagued by severe weather, which delayed the show for around an hour. However, rather than shut the show down prematurely or leave concertgoers potentially stranded at the stadium, Beyoncé stumped up $100,000 to cover an additional hour of Metro service, ABC7 reports. The move allowed stations to remain open and paid for the costs of running more trains.
