Fans on night one of Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour
USA TODAY’s Beyoncé reporter Caché McClay spoke to fans on night one of the ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour.
- Beyoncé performed her fourth Los Angeles show on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour.
- She added throwback songs to her set list, including “Irreplaceable,” “Single Ladies” and “Love on Top.”
- The updated setlist, first introduced on May 1st, also featured a mash-up of “Tyrant” (2024) and “Haunted” (2013).
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter took the stage in Los Angeles for night four of her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour, and once again, she added some of her beloved throwbacks to the massive set list.
Beyoncé put on a stellar performance at SoFi Stadium on May 7 for her lucky No. 4 show, as she sang songs from her “Cowboy Carter” album, “Renaissance” project and classic hits, similar to night two and three of her tour.
The change first came at Beyoncé’s second show on May 1. During it, she moved some songs around and added songs like “Irreplaceable” (2006), “If I were A Boy” (2008), “Single Ladies” (2008) and “Love on Top” (2011).
Fans watching online and inside the stadium seemed pleasantly surprised with the changes and wondered if she might keep the new set list for the duration of shows in Los Angeles or how often she might change it. And she kept those tunes coming for a third time in a row.
One fan also took note of a particular mash-up, where Beyoncé mixed her 2024 song “Tyrant” with her 2013 tune “Haunted.”
Of course, the Grammy-winning singer debuted her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her second and third show took place May 1 and May 4 on the same stage. The groundbreaking concert proved to be spectacle of many things including fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and politics.
As fans know, Beyoncé first released the 27-track project in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé’s first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year.
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 again with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.
