The pop star honored Turner during her Renaissance Tour stop in Paris, with fan-recorded videos capturing the special moment.
“I just want to take a second and honor Tina Turner,” she said. “If you’re a fan of mine, you’re a fan of Tina Turner. I wouldn’t be on this stage without Tina Turner, so I want you guys to just scream, so she can feel your love. I feel so blessed that I was allowed to witness her brilliance.”
The singer also paid tribute to Turner on her website, where she shared a note and a photo of herself and Turner performing onstage together at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony.
“My beloved queen. I love you endlessly,” the note reads. “I’m so grateful for your inspiration, and all the ways you have paved the way. You are strength and resilience. You are the epitome of power and passion. We are all so fortunate to have witnessed your kindness and beautiful spirit that will forever remain. Thank you for all you have done.”
Angela Bassett
The actor, who earned an Oscar nomination for playing Turner in the 1993 biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It, remembered the late singer on Instagram.
“How do we say farewell to a woman who owned her pain and trauma and used it as a means to help change the world?” Bassett wrote. “Through her courage in telling her story, her commitment to stay the course in her life, no matter the sacrifice, and her determination to carve out a space in rock and roll for herself and for others who look like her, Tina Turner showed others who lived in fear what a beautiful future filled with love, compassion, and freedom should look like.”
Bassett also shared details of her last conversation with Turner. “Her final words to me - for me - were ‘You never mimicked me. Instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world.’ I shall hold these words close to my heart for the rest of my days,” she wrote. “I am honored to have known Tina Turner. I am humbled to have helped show her to the world. So on today, while we mourn the loss of this iconic voice and presence, she gave us more than we could have ever asked. She gave us her whole self. And Tina Turner is a gift that that will always be ‘simply the best.’ Angels sing thee to thy rest…Queen.”
Mariah Carey
The “Fantasy” singer posted a photo of Turner performing onstage to Instagram.
“The words legendary, iconic, diva, and superstar are often overused and yet Tina Turner embodies them all and so many more - an incredible performer, musician and trailblazer,” Carey wrote in the caption. “To me, she will always be a survivor and an inspiration to women everywhere. Her music will continue to inspire generations to come. Rest in Peace, Queen ❤️.”
Oprah Winfrey
Winfrey remembered the iconic singer with two Instagram posts.
In the first, she opened up about her love for Turner’s artistry and friendship. “I started out as a fan of Tina Turner, then a full-on groupie, following her from show to show around the country, and then, eventually, we became real friends,” Winfrey wrote. “She is our forever goddess of rock ‘n’ roll who contained a magnitude of inner strength that grew throughout her life. She was a role model not only for me but for the world. She encouraged a part of me I didn’t know existed.”
In the second post, Winfrey shared a clip of herself and Turner singing together onstage during the 1996-97 Wildest Dreams Tour.
Winfrey reflected on the experience in the caption, writing, “I had the chance to join Tina onstage during her ‘Wildest Dreams’ tour and felt a glimpse of her enchanted world. I was so nervous that my knees were actually knocking together. Dancing onstage with her in Los Angeles was the most fun I ever remember having stepping out of my box. Tina lived out of the box and encouraged me and every woman to do the same.”
Naomi Campbell
The supermodel honored Turner on Instagram.
“QUEEN REST IN POWER !! your now up with papa dancing together again,” Campbell wrote, captioning a picture of Turner posing with the late fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa. “I remember first time meeting you in paris at Azzedine Alaia show In 1987 , I was in awe , your Aura was magical , Royal positive and Pure .. when I got chosen to be in your video that we shot at Camden Palace is something I will remember for the rest of my life .. the impact you have left on us of strength, perseverance and drive and not to give up on your dreams .
