Queen Bey is in the building, people! Beyoncé launched her Cowboy Carter Tour in the US, and fans are having the real-life boogie and real-life hoedown to end all others.

The music icon took to the stage at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on Monday (28 April), where she kicked off her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour. 

Her LA stop marks the first of 32 stadium performances in support of her record-breaking album of the same name, Cowboy Carter. While fan theories about her upcoming “Act III” project are coming in thick and fast, in part thanks to Easter eggs on her current tour, others are simply mesmerised by how the legendary performer has translated her country album for the stage.

Members of the Beyhive who were lucky enough to be in the crowd for Mother’s Cowboy Carter Tour launch took to X (formerly Twitter) to give fans a taste of what to expect from the rest of the tour. 

As one fan rightly wrote, “COWBOY CARTER tour has once again proved why this is Beyoncé’s best album! Hits upon hits, it’s nonstop! I’m gagged.”

Beyoncé sings the American National Anthem

For starters, the singer covered “The Star-Spangled Banner” before breaking into her track “Freedom”, which Kamala Harris famously used on her campaign trail. 

“She sang the national anthem and transitioned it into freedom… like B**** HOW CAN YOU NOT SAY MOTHER,” one fan noted.
