In Conversation With Beyoncé

Today she travels by private jet, but Beyoncé Giselle Knowles’ journey hasn’t always been so high-flying. She still remembers touring Canada in “a little minivan” with Destiny’s Child when she was a teenager. “My first tour ever, ever, ever was in Canada,” Beyoncé says, gushing over the phone from New York City, where she lives with hip hop legend Jay-Z, her husband of three years. “It was all of us sleeping on each other’s laps, just so excited and happy to be touring…It was one of the happiest moments of my life.”
