Beyoncé Announces Tour Behind Cowboy Carter
Beyoncé has officially announced that she will be embarking on a tour in support of her latest album, Cowboy Carter. This confirmation comes after weeks of speculation following a teaser announcement that was initially delayed due to the Los Angeles wildfires. While specific tour dates and cities have not yet been revealed, fans were treated to a photo and brief graphic to accompany the exciting news. The announcement coincides with the day of the Grammys ceremony, where Beyoncé is in the running for her first-ever Album of the Year win.
The Seventh Headlining Tour of Beyoncé’s Career
This upcoming tour will mark only the seventh headlining tour of Beyoncé’s illustrious career. It comes on the heels of her massive Renaissance World Tour in 2023, which featured an impressive 56 stops and special guest appearances from artists like Kendrick Lamar and Megan Thee Stallion. The tour grossed a staggering $592 million and was later turned into a successful movie that topped the U.S. box office. Additionally, Beyoncé surprised fans with a new song, “My House,” tucked into the end credits. Unlike the lengthy gap between her previous tours, fans won’t have to wait as long for this follow-up tour, as the Renaissance outing marked her first headlining tour in seven years.
Beyoncé’s Teaser and Recent Ventures
Beyoncé teased today’s tour announcement shortly after her Christmas Day halftime show, during the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens’ game at NRG Stadium. In a social media clip, she sported a cowboy hat and waved the Stars and Stripes while riding a horse, a nod to her Cowboy Carter persona. Since the release of the album last March, Beyoncé has been active in various ventures, including involvement in Kamala Harris’ election campaign, sharing a Baywatch-themed get-out-the-vote video, and earning multiple nominations for the upcoming Grammy Awards.
