Beyonce fans packed the Las Vegas venue for the grand finale of her Cowboy Carter tour—but it was the budding BFF energy between Kris Jenner and Oprah Winfrey that had everyone talking.
Joined by Gayle King, the glam trio lit up the night with viral selfies, surprise squad moments, and a friendship that’s quickly becoming Hollywood’s favorite plot twist.
Star-Studded Night Out in Las Vegas
Gayle and Oprah both shared snaps from the event, offering fans a peek into their glam girls’ night. Pictured alongside them were Kerry Washington, Tyler Perry, Khloe Kardashian, and Corey Gamble.
Gayle’s daughter, Kirby Bumpus, was also part of the crew.
“Grand opening, grand closing! Here in Las Vegas with the cowboy crew to see @beyonce close out her historic Cowboy Carter tour!!” Gayle gushed in the caption.
Fans React to Their Tight Bond
While the trio’s selfie stirred excitement, it also sparked mixed reactions online, with many fans expressing surprise over their close-knit dynamic.
However, longtime fans may recall that Oprah and Kris Jenner have a long history together.
A Decade-Long Bond Between Oprah & Kris
Their friendship stretches back to 2012 when Oprah sat down with the entire Kardashian–Jenner family for an in-depth interview at one of their homes. Kris posted a photo with Oprah afterward, calling it the “best day ever.” “Best day ever @oprah!!!! We love you!!! Thanks for spending the day with us!” Kris wrote at the time.
From Reality TV to Real-Life Defenders
Two years later, Oprah came to the family’s defense when Rebel Wilson made critical comments about the Kardashians’ rise to fame, suggesting they weren’t “really about talent.”
During a 2014 interview with Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O, Oprah gently pushed back, recalling her own experience filming with the family.
“I interviewed the Kardashians maybe two years ago and I couldn’t believe how hard they work,” she said. “People think that, ‘Oh, if a television camera’s just following you, then you know, that’s just easy.'”
She added, “To really create a reality series that looks like something’s actually happening, it means you have to be on all the time. So I went to film them as a family and I couldn’t believe how hard they worked. We were there for seven hours, and they were gonna tape another seven hours after I left. No matter who you are… that is work.”
A Luxe Friendship That Spans Continents
Their bond deepened further in 2023, when Oprah, Gayle, and Kris were photographed vacationing on a luxury yacht in Mallorca, right after attending Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sánchez’s $50 million wedding in Venice. The trio was spotted soaking up the sun and sailing through the Spanish coast, adding another glamorous chapter to their evolving friendship.
