Megan Thee Stallion made her summer tour finale a performance to remember.
On Thursday, Aug. 1, the rap star, 29, hit the stage at Lollapalooza 2024 at Chicago’s Grant Park for a headlining set, where she was joined by a special surprise guest: Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese.
The WNBA star, 22, popped up during Megan’s set, where the latter was met with utter shock as the packed-out crowd cheered over the two sharing the stage together. “What the f—!” the “Boa” rapper screamed on her microphone after hugging Reese twice.
The basketball star’s surprise cameo smoothly segued into Megan’s “Where Them Girls At” track off her latest album, MEGAN, as she twerked along to the rapper’s song. The Grammy winner continued performing with her troupe of dancers in tow as Reese cheered her on from center stage.
After the song ended, Megan ran up to hug Reese once more and posed for a selfie video, which the Chicago Sky player posted on her Instagram Stories. “That really surprised me,” the rapper told the crowd with a grin.

This year, Hennessy brought the Hennessy Highline activation to the annual event as part of its Made for More campaign, providing live music by DJs, photo moments and signature cocktails like the Henny-Rita and the Hennessy Paloma for festival-goers to try.
