Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour continues to be a family affair with the superstar honoring her mom, Tina Knowles, and sharing a special moment with her during her second show in Los Angeles.
The Grammy-winning singer brought Knowles onstage at SoFi Stadium to congratulate her on her new memoir becoming a New York Times bestseller, a day after Knowles kicked off her “Matriarch” book tour in Washington, D.C.
During the May 1 show, Mama Tina joined Beyoncé and her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter as Bey sang “Protector.” Toward the end of the song, Beyoncé took a moment to applaud her mom on the success of her book and thousands of fans joined in for the moment.
“She has the No. 1 book — the New York Times bestseller,” Beyoncé told the crowd. “Everybody please say congratulations Mama T.” And thousands of fans did so in unison.
Of course, Knowles released her book April 22. In it, she shares intimate details about her life, including private and public battles. Oprah Winfrey announced the book is the latest selection for her famous Oprah’s Book Club.
As fans know, Beyoncé launched her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour on April 28 in Los Angeles, and the first show kicked off a total of 32 stadium shows. Fans from all over the world traveled to witness Beyoncé’s debut show, which was filled with family, politics, soaring vocals, incredible costumes and masterful dancing.
The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. She’s set to make history with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.
Meanwhile, Knowles is in the middle of her own her nine-city tour for her “Matriarch” memoir with the next stop taking place in the same city — Los Angeles — on May 2.
