In which group did Beyoncé first become famous internationally?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé first became famous internationally as a member of Destiny’s Child.

The group formed in Houston and eventually consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams during its best-known period. Its lineup changed several times before settling into the trio that dominated the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Destiny’s Child achieved major success with songs such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” The group’s polished harmonies, coordinated performances, and themes of independence helped make it one of the most successful female groups in popular music.

Beyoncé remained associated with Destiny’s Child even after beginning her solo career. The group went on hiatus in 2002 and formally disbanded in 2006, though its members later reunited for selected performances, including a notable appearance at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show.
