Beyoncé officially launched her Cowboy Carter Tour last night in Los Angeles, kicking off the first show of a 32-date run across the U.S. and Europe. The setlist drew heavily from her 2024 country-inspired album Cowboy Carter, alongside standout tracks from Renaissance, Lemonade, and earlier projects like Dangerously in Love and I Am…Sasha Fierce.
According to Billboard, Beyoncé’s opening-night set at SoFi Stadium spanned more than 30 songs across multiple acts. Highlights included performances of “Texas Hold ‘Em,” “16 Carriages,” and “Jolene,” as well as a surprise appearance by her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter.
The Cowboy Carter Tour comes after a milestone year for Beyoncé. In February, she made history by becoming the first Black woman to win Best Country Album at the Grammy Awards, and she won Album of the Year for the first time with Cowboy Carter. Now, her streak continues as she takes the album on the road across major cities including Houston, Chicago, Washington D.C., London, and Paris before wrapping in Las Vegas.
