Released in March 2024, Cowboy Carter marked a significant and historic moment in music. Now, just over a year later, Beyoncé has began the much-anticipated tour for the album at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Set to span 32 global performances, Monday night offered a captivating preview of what fans can expect from the Cowboy Carter tour.
The opening show lasted an impressive two hours and 45 minutes, featuring stunning costume changes that dazzled the audience. However, one of the most talked-about highlights of the evening was Blue Ivy’s dance performance. Showing noticeable growth since the last tour, she danced alongside Beyoncé and even took the lead in a few routines, an inspiring moment that captured the crowd's attention.
Another heartwarming highlight came during the performance of a song dedicated to protection and love, when Beyoncé’s younger daughter, Rumi, made a surprise appearance on stage. Her pure joy and excitement charmed the audience and added an emotional touch to the already memorable night.
Here's some of our favourite reactions from the CowBoy Carter opening night.
