Overview of the Tour

Beyoncé officially commenced her much-anticipated Cowboy Carter tour at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on April 28. This tour supports her latest album, Cowboy Carter, which pays homage to country music and was released in March.

Setlist Highlights

During her approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes performance, Beyoncé treated fans to a remarkable setlist of 36 songs, with a significant focus on her new album. The evening began with a powerful rendition of American Requiem, showcasing several live debuts, including:

• Bodyguard
• II Most Wanted
• 16 Carriages
• Alligator Tears
• Just for Fun
• Flamenco
• Tyrrant
• Daughter
• Amen

Additionally, she included covers of classic songs, such as The Beatles’ Blackbird and Dolly Parton’s Jolene. Fans also enjoyed remixes of tracks from her previous album, Renaissance.

Staging and Performance Experience

Like her previous tours, the staging for the Cowboy Carter tour was praised for its drama and creativity. One standout moment featured Beyoncé smoking a cigar and igniting a piano before performing YA YA, eliciting excitement from the audience. In another breathtaking segment, she soared through the air on a car during her performance of 16 Carriages.

Special Guest Appearances

Fans were particularly thrilled by the appearances of her children, Blue Ivy and Rumi. Blue Ivy not only participated in several numbers but also delivered a memorable solo dance during Deja Vu, which was met with widespread acclaim on social media.

Rumi, less frequently seen publicly, was also spotted on stage, cheerfully waving to the crowd during the performance of Protector.
