Jay-Z celebrated 30 years of 'Reasonable Doubt' on Friday with a Yankee Stadium blowout — and turned it into a full Carter takeover. Beyonce made a surprise appearance onstage during opening night of the residency, per Just Jared. And daughter Blue Ivy Carter stole the show on piano, Hello! Magazine reports.
The Carters weren't the only marquee names. Nas and Alicia Keys also joined the star-packed anniversary opener, Variety reports, a hometown salute to the 1996 debut that launched an empire. Friday was just opening night of the residency, too -- so the guest-list guessing game for the remaining shows starts now.
