Beyoncé released ‘Cowboy Carter’ album one year ago: A look back
It’s been one year since Beyoncé released her eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter.” Here’s a look back at the album’s impactful year.
- Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour begins April 28 in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium.
- Tickets are still available, ranging from $70 to over $3,000.
- The tour includes 32 stadium shows across the U.S. and Europe, concluding on July 26th.
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is just hours away from hitting the stage on the opening night of her highly anticipated “Cowboy Carter” tour, and for those who don’t yet have tickets, there’s still time to get some before the show.
Beyoncé will launch her Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour on April 28 in Los Angeles. The night will officially kick off at 7 p.m. PT with doors opening at 5 p.m. PT.
As of April 27, fans could still snag tickets on Ticketmaster for the opening concert and the first set of shows at SoFi Stadium with the lowest-priced tickets priced at $69.99 in the outermost section.
There are standard seats available, as well as verified resale tickets for closer seats, with the best floor seats ranging from $769.35 up to $3,450. And ticket experts say that prices will continue to fluctuate leading up to each show.
As fans know, Beyoncé first announced her eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter,” during a surprise Super Bowl commercial in 2024 when she released singles “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” And not only did she make history on multiple fronts, the album also became a catalyst for the renewed spotlight on Black country artists and the genre’s Black roots.
Of course, Beyoncé first announced the tour the night before the 2025 Grammy Awards, where she took home the award for best country album and the top prize — album of the year — for “Cowboy Carter.” She became the fist Black woman to take home the award for best country album.
Beyoncé’s Los Angeles concert will be the first of 32 stadium shows across the U.S. and Europe. Since the initial announcement, Beyoncé has added a handful of concerts including final shows in Las Vegas. She’s also set to make history with her scheduled tour dates. The nine-city tour will wrap on July 26.
