Shoppers at Walmart were excited to see Beyonce's new album on the shelves, but imagine their shock when the diva herself showed up.
The 32-year-old singer made a special appearance at a branch of the mega-chain store in Tewksbury, Massachusetts on Friday night, where she sparked a mass of screaming fans.
The Crazy In Love singer was there to celebrate the success of her fifth and record-breaking studio album, which is aptly-titled, Beyonce.
Strutting into the store in a turquoise matching top and skirt, and a sexy leather biker jacket, the I'm A Survivor songstress certainly stood out from the crowd in the small town, which is 25 miles from Boston.
The rare outing was shared on her Facebook page with the caption, 'A little shopping today at Walmart. #BEYONCÉ is available now in store.'
Beyonce even grabbed a shopping trolley and wheeled it around the store browsing for Christmas presents, but of course stopped at a rack bursting with her own CDs - and even bought a copy.
Also packed into her personal cart were presents for daughter Blue Ivy, including some bright pink Barbie dolls.
Surrounded by shoppers who were just expecting to knock some things off their Christmas list - not bump into a celebrity - Beyonce had a crowd following in her footsteps as she walked down the aisles.
With her own 23-month-old daughter safe at home, the former Destiny's Child member picked up a little blonde girl with her hair in bunches wearing a pink coat and swung her around.
'You are beautiful,' she told the delighted toddler, whose proud parent shared a picture on Instagram, according to Us Weekly.
The Grammy winner took the tannoy at one stage to talk to the packed shop over the loudspeaker, wishing them a happy holidays and no doubt encouraging them to buy her album.
Before jetting off again, she left them all with a little extra Christmas cheer by giving everyone a $50 Walmart gift card, the store manager told Us. A total of 750 cards ($37,500 worth of gift cards purchased by the millionaire musician) were enclosed within envelopes that read, 'Happy Holidays from Beyonce.'
Jay Z's super star wife had been living it up in New York City on Thursday with a Brooklyn concert at the Barclays Center and an album release party later that night at Dave & Buster's arcade.
Guests played arcade games, enjoyed drinks from own Beyonce cups, and were also able to snack on Beyonce themed cupcakes.
Among those at the event were stylist Ty Hunter, designer Alexander Wang songwriter J. Cole and rapper Drake, who features on the track 'Mine' from the new album.
Drake addressed the crowd during the celebrations, saying: 'I just came out tonight to let you know congratulations to each and every one of you that worked on this s***, for real. And of course to the queen, the utmost congratulations.'
