    Beyoncé recently kicked off her highly anticipated Renaissance tour, and so far it's been filled with beautiful stage outfits, special appearances from Blue Ivy, powerhouse vocals, and of course, extremely excited fans.

    But during Beyoncé's London stop at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, one fan had a special (and chaotic) experience that he'll never forget.

    In the middle of performing her song "Diva," Beyoncé threw her sunglasses into the crowd (after seemingly double-checking the brand, of course), and they were caught by TikTok user @GlobalValentino. However, only a brief moment passed until security came and snatched the glasses away. Valentino, who's a film director, naturally caught the moments all on camera:

    The caption reads, "I’m 1 of 1 🐝🪩me and @khal caught the glasses!! best experience ever, this meant so much!❤️‍🔥"

    "When [Beyoncé] threw the glasses, I was just so starstruck," Valentino told BuzzFeed. "When [the sunglasses] were thrown, initially my friend Khalid caught them, but there was a girl next to him who, I think, might have also caught them."

    Valentino continued, "I told them, 'Listen, guys, let's resolve this peacefully after the concert. Put them in your pocket now, because security will come and get them.'" The sunglasses, which are from the brand Off-White, are speculated to be worth around $53,000, according to what Valentino was told.

    After receiving the glasses, Valentino said he went to and contacted several auction houses, who then gave him a range of valuations.

    When asked about his experience with security, Valentino told BuzzFeed, "The girl who tried to snatch the glasses away from my friend called security over. She was really just on the side of, 'If I'm not gonna have them, no one will.'"

    "So security took [the glasses] from them two, but I actually still had them in my hand. So at this point, it was just me and one other security guard." 

    "This wasn't caught on camera," he continued, "but there was a guy with a black suit — I think he might have been the head of security. But I was bleeding after, gashed out. There was a massive cut on my finger. It was really an awful experience."

    But of course, Beyoncé was not gonna let any tomfoolery happen on her watch. "As she's coming back now, she's kind of noticing there's been this massive commotion with the security guards," Valentino told BuzzFeed. Then after around 10 minutes, during her performance of "Heated," he said, "She just hands me the sunglasses."

    "I feel like this was a gift from god," Valentino said. "On the side of the sunglasses, it has my birthday — April 23rd."  In another TikTok, Valentino shows a closer look of the glasses:

    Though the pair of shades were a little broken, it was an easy fix! The 20-year-old fan went to an optician and, after getting the glasses fixed, said, "I'm never wearing these again."

    Valentino told BuzzFeed, "The fact that I listen to her every day and this happened? It means so much to me."

    Similarly, this situation happened just two weeks after the viral clip of Taylor Swift defending a fan from security during her Eras tour also occurred. Honestly, we love to see it. Have you ever had an experience like this at a concert or with a celebrity? Let us know in the comments!
