Beyoncé looked to be having the time of her life after a dedicated fan busted out an impressive dance routine during a signing event.
The legendary pop singer, 42, is currently basking in the success of her latest album Cowboy Carter, which has seen the R&B star pay homage to her country musical heritage.
It hasn’t been a total success in everyone’s eyes, but the album – which boasts a cover of Dolly Parton’s Jolene – is expected to top the charts in the UK and the US.
But before she finds out Cowboy Carter’s chart fate, the Crazy In Love singer has recently been on the other side of the world, attending a fan signing event in Japan.
And during that event, the Cuff It hitmaker was treated to a choreographed dance routine by a lucky fan who was able to meet her and show off her moves.
Wearing bright red trousers and a denim jacket, the Beyoncé superfan immediately strutted her stuff as soon as she got within six inches of her favourite popstar.
Throughout the impromptu performance, Beyoncé nodded and smiled and encouraged the fan, even looking like she might dance along with her at points.
However, fans on social media spotted little moments where the Single Ladies singer looked a tiny bit uncomfortable, shooting glances off camera, apparently at her team.

One person watching the video said: ‘This is the reason [why] she stopped doing meet and greets and why she will never do another one again in her life.’
Another Beyoncé fan, Kelvie, commented, ‘Beyoncé’s face is taking me out! Just smile and wave, girl. I love her,’ while other fans noted that the video looked like two characters from the Sims game series interacting.
Despite the potential for awkwardness, another Beyoncé devotee noticed that the dance the fan performed was the Crazy In Love routine that the If I Were a Boy star did during the 2013 Super Bowl half-time show.

Twitter user Lesego commented: ‘Crazy In Love 2013 Super Bowl choreography? Oh she’s a stan down.’
Despite the adoration from her fans, Beyoncé appeared to come in for harsh criticism from pop sensation Billie Eilish, who slammed the ‘wasteful’ nature of album release cycles in the 2020s.
‘I can’t even express to you how wasteful it is [to release numerous versions of the same album],’ Billie told Billboard. ‘It is right in front of our faces and people are just getting away with it left and right.’
Billie’s comments came after it was revealed that four different vinyl versions of Cowboy Carter were available to fans, while two versions of the CD album were also able to be purchased.

Billie continued: ‘I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable.
‘Then it’s some of the biggest artists in the world making f*****g 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more.’
Fans were convinced Billie was taking aim at Beyonce and Taylor Swift with her comments, however she has since clarified in a statement that she wasn’t targeting anyone in particular.
She said she ‘wasn’t singling anyone out, these are industry-wide systemic issues. & when it comes to variants, so many artist release them – including ME! which i clearly state in the article (sic).’
Billie added: ‘The climate crisis is now and its about all of us being part of the problemand trying to do better sheesh.’
