INGLEWOOD, CA — It’s been a year since Beyoncé dropped arguably her most ambitious album yet, and now she’s bringing “Cowboy Carter” to life.
With a few pops of pyro and a strut down a catwalk in a white-fringed getup, country couture Beyoncé kicked off her 32-date stadium tour April 28 at SoFi Stadium just outside of Los Angeles with “American Requiem.” Beyoncé’s five shows at the venue add to her record-breaking resume: She now holds the record for the most performances at the 70,000-capacity stadium, where she played three nights on her Renaissance World Tour in 2023.
The opening night of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter spectacle – the fifth all-stadium tour of her decorated career – drew heavily from her lauded album, with 19 of the 36 songs played during the 2 ¾-hour show coming from the career opus that won album of the year at this year’s Grammys.
Beyoncé delivered with tight choreography, voguish costumes, cameos from daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi, and even a mechanical bull.
Along with her California performances, Beyoncé will play multiple shows in Chicago and East Rutherford, New Jersey before heading to Europe in June and returning to the U.S. for a pair of shows in her Houston hometown and Washington, D.C., four concerts in Atlanta and a final double shot in Las Vegas July 25-26.
