The global superstar performed in front of a sell-out crowd at the national stadium on Saturday night alongside husband Jay-Z. Beyonce performed hits such as 'Crazy in Love' and 'Run the World (Girls), before finishing with her version of classic 80s song 'Forever Young'. It was this anthem in particular which resonated with those lucky enough to get a ticket for the Glasgow gig.

And, taking to her Instagram page in the late hours of Sunday night, Beyonce shared the video with the comment, "Thank you Glasgow for being an amazing audience! ": At the time of writing, within 9 hours of the original post, the video has had over 5 million views from around the world.<doc-sep>Don't miss any of Glasgow Live's biggest stories - sign up to our daily email newsletter Invalid Email Something went wrong, please try again later. Sign me up now Thank you for subscribing We have more newsletters Show me See our privacy notice It’s not every day that Beyonce captions an Instagram post - it’s been two years since she has - and its not everyday that she shares non official content from her own media crew, never mind fan footage at one of her shows. So for Tommy Coakley, to say he was surprised to see Queen Bey herself share a video he took after the Hampden show to her 115 million Instagram followers (the fifth most followed account in the world). The Glasgow engineer took the video of the mass singalong of ‘Forever Young’ (with a few ‘Here We F***ing Go’s thrown in) after attending the concert with his daughter Heather, nice Benitha and their friends. Speaking exclusively to Glasgow Live, he said: “I don’t know how to word it. It’s been totally crazy. My phone's been bouncing off the table with constant alerts. "I knew my daughter and my nieces and their friends would be coming out the tunnel so I just took the video for them to show them what it was like and see if they could pick themselves out." Shortly after he posted the 32 second long video on Twitter on Sunday morning, the official On The Run tour twitter page re-tweeted it, under the caption ‘Glasgow, you certainly rocked it’. And as Beyonce fans from Brazil to Australia were waking up across the globe the next morning, more and more were reacting to the video on social media, viewing Tommy’s original post over 16 000 times. “I had to put my phone on silent. I took my family out for breakfast and they were laughing at all the notifications coming through on my phone from all the different countries. I had to turn my phone off because it was buzzing so often - it was like a machine gun going off," he revealed. And then last night the video was shared via Beyonce’s very own Instagram account under the caption ‘Thank you Glasgow for being an amazing audience!’. “I’ve not got Instagram so my daughter kept me updated with it all, telling me that it had been viewed 2 million times, then 3, 4 and now over 5 million times. I suppose Beyonce has seen the video on the official tour twitter page and decided to post it herself. And for her to share it means she must have got something out of seeing the video. She’s felt something from it to share it," he said. Beyonce never credited Tommy in her post when sharing his video, although in lieu of any recognition from Beyonce’s part, he’d make do with a few tickets to another show if it was ever possible. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for anything. Although a couple of free tickets for another show would be nice for me and my wife! She is from Rwanda. She was supposed to be at the concert with me but didn’t go. She is over there just now with no idea that this has all happened," he detailed. And one thing Tommy is also happy with is the focus the video has placed on Glasgow and Glasgow crowds to the millions of people who have seen it across the globe. “That’s the way I looked at it because the city gets a lot of bad publicity. People are too quick to pick out the negatives about Glasgow and here you have people coming out a Beyonce concert of all different colours and creeds singing her songs. It was great to give Glasgow a wee boost," he said. And most importantly, Tommy enjoyed the concert in the company of his family, although, being honest, he prefers a bit of Jay-Z to Queen Bey. “The gig was good, I saw Beyonce the last time she was at Hampden. I was there to see Jay-Z to be honest with you. I’d never seen him before. I’m not a spring chicken anymore so it was a bucket list one for me! ", he finished.<doc-sep>Beyoncé sets fans into a wild frenzy wherever she goes — both with her voice and with her wardrobe. And just days after kicking off her and husband Jay-Z’s “On the Run II” tour, Beyoncé debuted bold new looks at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland, yesterday. One jaw-dropping ensemble by designer Peter Dundas featured a metallic embellished minidress, paired with a billowing purple cape that was embroidered in gold. Peter Dundas’ sketch of Beyoncé’s look.

The “Crazy in Love” hitmaker sported a sequined bomber jacket with a dramatic train, which she paired with shiny thigh-high boots. While those two outfits alone were enough to wow crowds, the performance also saw the return of styles Beyoncé debuted on the tour’s opening day — including a crystal-covered fishnet bodysuit by LaQuan Smith that she wore to open her. A leopard-print bodysuit with a matching coat and thigh-high boots and logo’d Gucci pieces made by Harlem-based designer Dapper Dan also returned to the stage yesterday. As the “On the Run II” tour continues — dates are set through October, with the Carters returning stateside in July — Beyoncé will undoubtedly continue to debut showstopping new looks. The fashionable singer makes sure that each show is a special event in and of itself, which is why she sported completely different ensembles for both weekends of Coachella when she headlined the festival in April.

Tickets to Beyonce and Jay Z's latest tour are apparently being given away for free as the stars struggle to fill seats. The power couple pulled out all the stops with their sensational On The Run II show at Glasgow's Hampden on Saturday night - four years after their first joint On The Run tour. It comes as a number of fans who were in the venue car park over the weekend have claimed they were handed free tickets, while others said their seats had been upgraded for free. A fan shared a photo of the empty seats on Twitter, and wrote: "The concert rate was empty. They knew the concert wasn't going to sell out and already had curtains set up before the show to cover the empty sections."

Ticket prices for the pair's gigs range from £51 to a huge £475 for a VIP standing pass. Jay and Beyonce will perform a string of dates across Europe including Manchester tonight, before heading to North America in July. Only nine of their remaining 46 dates have sold out, with plenty of tickets still up for sale for this Saturday's concert in London – priced at around £50.
