, which served as the opening of the public memorial, the pop star began by singing her hit “XO” from her 2013 self-titled album.

Swapping the line “And I’m crashing into you” with “And I’m laughing into you” and changing “You kill me boy XO” to “Just kiss me boy XO,” Beyoncé paid close attention to each lyric that she sang.Following her performance of “XO,” Beyoncé transitioned into a powerful rendition of her hit single “Halo,” where she fought to hold back tears during the show stopping performance.
As the set came to a close, Beyoncé added, “He will be your, she will be your, your halo,” referencing Kobe and Gianna, both of whom tragically died in a helicopter crash a month ago along with seven others. Later during the program Beyoncé was captured on camera comforting Kobe’s wife Vanessa after she was overcome with emotion in the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
