The big night has finally arrived: Beyoncé returned to the stage in Stockholm, Sweden to kick off her Renaissance World tour, with the icon serving as her own opening act, main show, and encore. Photos and videos have surfaced of the show, giving a little glimpse of what those lucky enough to attend got to take in. Here, a look at the stage, to start:

Beyoncé opened by performing non-Renaissance songs, a clever way of starting the show and dipping into her beloved discography.
Songs she performed included “Dangerously in Love,” “Flaws and All,” and “1+1.”Beyoncé got emotional while performing “Flaws and All” and told her fans before singing that track, “And I love you, and I'm so filled with gratitude. I thank you.”

And she also performed “Alien Superstar” in the silver bodysuit.
She then changed into a printed mini dress to sing “Cuff It” and “Energy.” She twerked on stage during her “Break My Soul” performance:

“Formation,” “Diva,” and “Run the World (Girls)” followed, which featured Beyoncé in her fourth look of the night: a breastplate, sheer top, and silver pants:. The set design was particularly wild during “My Power”:
“Black Parade,” “Savage (Remix),” and “Partition” followed in the night one set list.
Other outfits included a Balmain pearl-adorned bodysuit, which Beyoncé sang “Church Girl,” “Get Me Bodied,” “Before I Let Go,” “Rather Die Young,” “Love on Top,” and “Crazy in Love” in:
