JAY-Z and Beyoncé made a grand entrance at the first show of their ‘On the Run II’ Tour in Cardiff, UK last night, descending upon the crowd in an elevator, a nod to the now-iconic 2014 Met Gala altercation between Solange and JAY-Z, which Beyoncé famously referenced on her “***Flawless (Remix)”: “Of course sometimes shit go down / when it’s a billion dollars on an elevator.”

Naturally, there is plenty of merch to go around to accompany the tour, including “RUN” graphic tees, OTR hoodies, Roc Nation caps, and items themed around Beyoncé’s Lemonade album.
