Beyonce and Jay Z are still on the run.

The Carters brought their "On The Run II" tour to the States last month. This week, Mr. and Mrs. Carter rolled into Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina to go "apesh*t" in front of 40,000 screaming fans.

After tearing up the stage, Columbia mayor Steve Benjamin presented the key to the city to the superstar couple. In a tweet, the mayor called their performance incredible along with a picture of himself honoring Jay Z with the key to the city. He also announced that August 21st will now be recognized as Beyonce Knowles & Shawn Carter Day:

Late night but what an incredible show at #OTRII in @ColumbiaSC ! It was wonderful to have a chance to recognize the humanitarian & cultural contributions of Mr. & Mrs. Carter.
