Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter Tour” officially kicked off, the crown jewel of her illustrious career. The tour celebrates her record-breaking eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, which also topped the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums, among others. The success made Beyoncé the first Black female artist to dominate the country chart, something that says a lot about her genre-bending work.
The tour commenced on April 28, 2025, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, followed by further performances in major American and European cities. Of note is that the tour includes five consecutive dates at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, testimony to the immense demand and popularity of the event.
The “Cowboy Carter Tour” setlist is carefully crafted from the Cowboy Carter album and reinterpreted versions of the all-time classics. The fans will sing along to hits like “16 Carriages,” “Blackbiird” (cover of a Beatles song), “Ya Ya,” “My House,” and a mix of “Spaghettii,” “Riiverdance,” and “Sweet Honey Buckiin’.” Included on the setlist as well are “Levii’s Jeans,” “Jolene” (cover of a Dolly Parton song), and the popular “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The songs represent the diversity of Beyoncé and how she can turn and blend music genres so easily.

The production for the tour is also incredible, with stage design that produces the optical illusion of a five-pointed star through a massive widescreen rectangular screen and a triangled void in the center. Such creative layout sets the visual bar high, equal to the thematic value of the show.
Beyoncé’s recent success also cements the significance of this tour. At the 2025 Grammy Awards, she received the high-profile Album of the Year award for Cowboy Carter, the first Black woman to win it in the 21st century. This achievement is added to her title as the most awarded and nominated artist in Grammy history.
The “Cowboy Carter Tour” is not merely a concert tour, but an act of tribute and tribute to America’s musical heritage. For fans and the industry as a whole, the tour presents yet another chance to witness Beyoncé develop as an artist and continue to be in the music spotlight.
Concert tickets are sought after, a testament to Beyoncé’s continued popularity and expectation at this new stage of her life. The tour continues and is going to provide unforgettable performances that will touch hearts everywhere across the world.
