Beyoncé shared a tribute to the victims of the recent Orlando mass shooting at her latest concert. 

At the Detroit stop of her Formation World Tour on Tuesday night, the Lemonade singer introduced her performance of "Halo" with a message to the families of the deadly shooting that left 50 people dead and 53 injured at LGBTQ nightclub Pulse.

"This next song is about love and I'd like to dedicate it to all of the family members that had family that lost their lives in Florida," she said.
