The singer belted out a power ballad version of the song while wearing an electric blue gloved outfit with a sheer skirt and a sparkling necklace. It comes after she paid tribute to the singer of "What's Love Got to Do with It" at her Paris show on Friday (May 26).
Turner died last week at her home in Switzerland. She was one of the best-selling singers of all time and was known as the "Queen of Rock and Roll." Her two grown boys and her husband, Erwin Bach, will remember her.
When the singer died, everyone in the music world, from Mariah Carey to Dolly Parton, Madonna to Diana Ross, paid honor to her.

During the change of the guard at Buckingham Palace, when King Charles III paid tribute to Turner, her hit song "The Best" was played.
Turner and Beyoncé have already played together. They sang "Proud Mary," a Creedence Clearwater Revival song that Turner was known for, at the 2008 Grammy Awards. When Turner was being recognized at the Kennedy Center three years ago, Beyoncé sang the same song.
Turner won a lot of awards for her unique mix of R&B, soul, pop, and rock. She won 12 Grammy Awards, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and sold more than 100 million songs. She was the first Black singer and the first woman to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Throughout her career, she opened a lot of doors for other people.
Tina Turner was Beyoncé's favorite singer, and she died. The singer of "Single Ladies" used her Renaissance tour of the U.K. to pay tribute to Turner, who died last Wednesday (May 24) at the age of 83.
