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.
- Some fans attending Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour opener are experiencing seat reassignments due to potential stage obstructions.
- Ticketmaster notified affected fans, assuring them of comparable replacement seats.
- The seat changes have fueled fan speculation about the stage production and set design for the tour.
- The tour kicks off on April 28 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
The countdown to Beyoncé’s opening show on her “Cowboy Carter” tour has begun, and fans should confirm their seat assignments ahead of time, as some are seeing changes before the show.
Beyoncé is set to debut her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour on April 28 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Days before the tour kicks off, some fans were notified that their seat assignments for Beyoncé’s concert had been changed.
One fan wrote on X, “My floor ticket was moved to a different section and when I called Ticketmaster to ask why, they said that the production team moved my seat because of obstruction view of the stage and the team relocated me. Did this happen to anyone else? I was on the aisle seat of section A2.”
Many other fans chimed in, noting that they received similar changes to their tickets. Another wrote, “This just happened to me. Also had an aisle seat in A2 and now I’m in D2.”
According to the shared message, TicketMaster told fans “the event organizer has accommodated you with new seats in a comparable location on the floor.”
The changes have been stirring up curiosity and excitement amongst fans. Many theories have been floating around about what may have caused the rearranging with some guessing another stage and others imagining an extraordinary set design. All will be clear in the coming days.
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.”
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.
