Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles, fulfilled an 84-year-old grandmother's viral request to receive tickets for the singer's Cowboy Carter tour.
In February, Ida Mae Maclin, then 83, went viral after sharing a video asking Beyoncé for tickets to her Cowboy Carter show. The elderly fan unapologetically demanded the free tickets due to her longtime support for the singer.
“Look, Beyoncé, we have supported you so much… I had a birthday party that you didn’t come to, but I went to yours. I want you to know that. And Beyoncé, I’ma give you my address to send me five tickets… I need them right away,” Maclin said in the video.
“I can’t afford to see you no more. I’m 80 years old. I done spent so much damn money on you I live in a raggedy house now… We need some tickets," she added.

Video of Maclin's request went viral, with several social media users tagging Bey and Mama Tina in hopes that they would see the post.
Earlier this month, Maclin's dreams came true as the mother-daughter duo reportedly sent the viral grandmother and her crew tickets to one of Beyoncé's shows in Washington, D.C.
Footage shared on social media shows Maclin wearing a green fringe ensemble with boots and a cowboy hat as she danced in the crowd to Bey's latest album. Maclin reportedly attended the concert with her granddaughter and other loved ones.
"Ms. Tina, Beyoncé and her team was everything to work with. And I’m grateful to have this memory with my gram," Maclin's granddaughter wrote on social media.
