Beyoncé‘s got a fan in Tyler Perry!
The Straw director sat down with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on Live with Kelly and Mark on Tuesday, where Ripa highlighted their “shared love” of the “Crazy in Love” singer.
“And you’ve been to the new concert, which I haven’t been to,” she admitted, referring to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour.
Perry teased, “You haven’t been? What is wrong with you? You are banned!”
While Ripa clarified that she “was out of town” when Beyoncé performed, viewers caught a clip of Perry at her concert, donning a cowboy hat and dancing with none other than Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles.
Consuelos chimed in, “What stadium is that?”
Perry replied, “I think that’s in Chicago. So yeah, I started in L.A.”
Ripa asked, “So you’re traveling around?”
Perry teased, “I’m a background singer.”

After Ripa quipped that “she doesn’t know it,” Perry added, “She doesn’t know it, but I’m the background singer from the audience singing everything with her.”
As for how many Beyoncé concerts he’s been to, Perry teased, “All of them.”
Ripa told Perry, “I gotta jump on your plane.”
Perry replied, “Yeah c’mon, let’s go.”
Ripa continued, “That’s what I need to do. I need to get on your plane.”
Perry joked, “I think she thought I was stalking her at one point because she was in Copenhagen. She was like, ‘This is Denmark. What are you doing here?’ ‘You’re playing, I’m here. Let’s go watch!'”
Ripa gushed, “I love that!”
On the topic of his cowboy hat, Perry said that he does not sport it during every show.
Ripa asked, “Why not? I love a cowboy hat.”
After he chuckled, Perry quipped, “Do you know how hard it is to find a cowboy hat for this size head? So I got one, and that’s it.”
