Tyler Perry may have been influenced by Oprah in more ways than one.
The media mogul gave two of his staffers — and one incredibly lucky flight attendant — the surprise of their lives when he flew the crew on his private jet to Copenhagen to see Beyoncé on her Formation tour. Of course, the group didn't sit in the nosebleeds or even the front row: they had VIP access to everything, including Queen Bey herself.

The lucky staffers were Crystal Fox, one of the stars of Perry's series The Have and the Have Nots, and his costume designer Crystal Renee, who posted about the experience on Instagram. “@tylerperry knows my LOVE for Beyoncé! Not only did I get to experience the Formation World Tour in Europe I also got to meet my girl Bey right before she took the stage! This is just another testament to the type of person Mr. P is!!!” she wrote.

No word on whether the flight attendant he brought along was also named Crystal.
Regardless, sounds like it pays to work for Perry in more ways than one. Watch the Black Hollywood icon talk about expanding his empire on The Real above.
