Popstar Beyonce Knowles took New York by storm when she performed a free for all concert in the city.
The ‘Ego’ hitmaker entered riding on the back of a chauffeured convertible wearing a black cat suit.
Beyonce greeted her fans and entertained them with new hits like ‘If I Were A Boy’ and ‘Single Ladies’ (Put A Ring On It).
Beyonce uttered gratitude to her fans for encouraging her and appreciating her work.
"I just want to say thank you. We have the best fans in the world. They''ve been supporting me and Destiny''s Child since we first came out,” The Daily Express quoted Beyonce, as saying. (ANI)

She said: "I think I have a long way to go before I'd be able to handle looking after a child. I probably will have a baby one day, but not for a while."
Beyoncé, 25, recently admitted she was put off having children after watching her sister give birth.
The singer's sister Solange has a three-year-old son Daniel, and Beyoncé admits she found it quite harrowing watching him come into the world.
She said: "I was there when Solange gave birth and I swear it was enough to put anyone off for life!
"The doctors had to give me drinks because I was turning purple.
"It was crazy but, at the same time, quite beautiful.
"When I was watching I thought, 'I'm never going to have a baby'. But now, when I see my nephew, I think he's the best thing in the world. He's so cute and clever - I love him so much."
The singer-and-actress, who had to lose weight for her role in 'Dreamgirls', substituted her cravings for chocolate and chips with low-carb pig skins.
Beyoncé told Cosmopolitan magazine: "It is so tempting on film sets. They have these tables with every kind of chocolates, every type of bread - doughnuts, rolls and even cake.
"I'd just eat pork skins because that's the closest thing to chips that I could eat.
"I run and do press-ups to try and stay in shape, but I can't resist chocolate."

The former Destiny's Child singer also admitted she finds her healthy diet boring.
She said: "I eat a lot of boring things like green vegetables. I don't eat red meat or bread and I don't drink alcohol - I just don't like the taste.
"I also do a lot of dancing which I think is the best exercise."
Beyonce Knowles has won a legal battle against a former business associate, after his $1.5 million lawsuit accusing the singer of shortchanging him was thrown out of court.
Greg Walker of Icon Entertainment was suing the "Irreplaceable" star for reportedly cutting him out of a $15 million fashion deal he had arranged with Knowles and her mother, Tina, in 2003.
Walker claimed Knowles failed to pay him the $25,000 for his services, which led to the creation of the singer's clothing line, House of Dereon, in 2004, reports the New York Daily News.
But Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Herman Kahn ruled that Walker never had a signed contract with Knowles, and therefore lacked a valid argument.
Beyonce's not creating the supposed catfight with "Dreamgirls" costar Jennifer Hudson – her daddy Matthew is. 
As E!'s Marc Malkin reports, during the filming of "Dreamgirls," the ever-overbearing Matthew tried to sign Hudson as a management client, only to rebuffed by the former "American Idol" contestant. Despite her rejection, Matthew went around telling people he'd been representing the breakout star.
What's more, after an early screening, both Matthew and B's mom (Tina) flipped over Hudson's screen time, arguing with writer/director Bill Condon that the flick needed to be recut and include more B and less J -- Condon refused.
Of course it's not the first time Matthew has gone ballistic over Beyonce. Back in June, when TMZ posted video of PETA confronting Beyonce over her fondness for fur, Matthew tried just about everything in his quiver to get it taken down. It didn't work.
Beyonce Knowles says she becomes someone else when she's onstage, an alter ego she's even given a name to: Sasha. "I wouldn't like Sasha if I met her offstage," the 25-year-old singer-actress tells Parade magazine in its Dec. 17 issue.
"Oh, no. She's too aggressive, too strong, too sassy, too sexy! I'm not her in real life at all. I'm not flirtatious and super-confident and fearless like her."
"I created my stage persona to protect myself," she says, "so that when I go home, I don't have to think about what it is I do. Sasha isn't me. The people around me know who I really am."
One of those close confidantes is her boyfriend, music mogul Jay-Z . "When I'm in love, I'm there 100 percent," she says. "But if I don't trust someone, if I'm not totally there because of it, then I'm not going to waste my time."
Knowles, who started out in the girl group Destiny's Child , plays singer Deena Jones opposite Jamie Foxx , Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson in the movie musical "Dreamgirls," opening Friday.
She's also nominated for four Grammy awards, including best contemporary R&B album ("B'Day") and best female R&B vocal performance ("Ring the Alarm").
Life wasn't always so good, though. In 2000, two members left Destiny's Child and sued her manager-father Mathew Knowles, claiming conflict of interest in his management. The case was settled out of court.
"It was tough," she recalls. "Before that, the media didn't pay attention to me personally. It was just our music. After that, I felt attacked. The way people reacted was different. My privacy was over.
"I went through depression. I didn't eat," she continues. "I stayed in my room. I was in a really bad place in life, going through that lonely period: `Who am I? Who are my friends?' My life changed."
She knows there are changes ahead, too.
"I think about the future, about what my life will be like when people are tired of my songs and movies," she says. "I'll still want a life then, beyond the music. Maybe I'll teach or mentor at a Boys & Girls Club. I want to have a family. I want to be happy."
