Beyonce wrapped up her year-long Mrs. Carter Show World Tour on Thursday. The star, who performed more than 100 concerts beginning in Serbia and ending in Portugal, got emotional during her final show, crying and thanking fans for their support. “If you all don’t know, tonight makes 132 shows. Tonight is the last show of the Mrs. Carter Show. We started a year ago and I want to say this has been such a journey,” said Beyonce. “Thank you for allowing me to have a career. And when I fall, you lift me up. When I’m hungry you feed me. And I just want to give you my light. I dedicate this song to you guys.” [E!Online]
