Photo:Beyonce Surprises Fans At Local Walmart Store

R&B singer Beyonce is just full of surprises these days! The singer continued to celebrate the release of her self-titled, record-breaking, fifth studio album on Friday, Dec. 20 -- with a trip to a Walmart store in a town called Tewksbury.
 Following her big night out in NYC on Thursday -- which included a Brooklyn show and album release party -- the "XO" singer, 32, scurried off to Massachusetts and completely ambushed Walmart shoppers on Friday at 7 p.m. ET.

The songstress pushed her own cart up and down the aisles of the retailer and even purchased a copy of Beyonce. Dressed impeccably in an aqua-colored crop top and matching skirt, paired with a stylish black leather jacket, the singer walked into the store, beaming, as she looked over at a showcase of her latest solo album. (Physical copies of Beyonce went on sale in stores Friday, just one week after its secret, exclusive iTunes release.)
Every person on site received a $50 Walmart gift card from Beyonce, the store manager told Us Weekly.

 Jay Z's wife not only addressed the crowd and greeted eager shoppers, but left each customer with a holiday gift!
Every person on site received a $50 Walmart gift card from the global superstar, the store manager told Us. A total of 750 cards ($37,500 worth of gift cards purchased by Bey) were enclosed within envelopes that read, "Happy Holidays from Beyonce."
At one point during her visit, Blue Ivy's mom even held a baby girl and told the little one, "You are beautiful," as seen in one person's Instagram video. But baby Blue was clearly on her mommy's mind: Along with her new album, Beyonce's shopping cart included a few toys for her 23-month-old daughter.
