On Saturday, Oct. 24, Seahawks quarterback Russel pulled off a surprise party for his Ciara, which left the "Goodies" singer shedding happy tears when the surprise was revealed.

According to People magazine, the singer got ready for what she thought was a movie premiere. On Ciara's Instagram page, the singer even posted a picture of her initial look, which shows her in a black gown with thin straps, black heels, and her hair pulled up in a high ponytail. But when Ciara arrived at the Warner Brothers lot in Burbank, she was met by her boyfriend, who was dressed as Batman and standing beside a Batmobile.

A source told People that the singer was given a list of instructions and that she was asked to change into a Catwoman suit and mask before the couple drove off in the highly detailed car to the Batman exhibit on the studio lot, where about 100 of her family and friends were waiting to surprise her. It turned out that they were all there to celebrate the singer's 30th birthday.

"They screamed 'Surprise!' as Ciara and Russell exited the black car," said the magazine's source. "Ciara was overwhelmed with emotion and began to cry tears of joy."

Some of the couple's celebrity friends were in attendance, including Beyonce dressed as Storm from X-Men, Lily Collins dressed as Supergirl, Serena Williams, and Kelly Rowland. Ciara's 1-year old son, Future Zahir, was also at the party and was dressed as Superman.

On Sunday, Ciara took to Instagram to share a few photos from the event, and one picture showed her and Wilson in costume while inside the Batmobile. The photo was captioned, "You make me smile #TheBestSurpriseBirthdayPartyEver." She also posted another picture of her walking towards the football star.

"Way 2 Pull This Off! I'm Still in Shock," she wrote. "You are my Batman."
