by Queen Bee is hitting the road this year. After much anticipation, Beyoncé has officially announced the “Cowboy Carter Tour” for 2025. She took to Instagram, blessing our feeds with a video of a neon sign glowing with the words “COWBOY CARTER TOUR” against a desert backdrop. No dates have been revealed as yet, but you know the BeyHive is already on high alert.
Initially, Beyoncé planned to announce the tour on January 14, 2025, but postponed it due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
This tour announcement comes on the heels of her groundbreaking album, Cowboy Carter, which dropped in March 2024. On the offering, Beyoncé didn’t just dip her toes into country; she redefined the genre. The album’s lead single, “Texas Hold ’Em,” not only topped the Billboard Hot 100 but also made her the first Black woman to have a No. 1 country song.
And let’s talk Grammys. Beyoncé leads the pack with 11 nominations, including top awards like Album of the Year and Song of the Year. This brings her career total nods to a record-breaking 99, making her the most-nominated artist in Grammy history.
Beyond the statistical accomplishments, ‘Cowboy Carter’ is a soulful journey through America’s musical soundscape. It blends country, rock, and blues while highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of Black artists to these genres. Tracks like “II Most Wanted,” her collab with Miley Cyrus, showcase this fusion beautifully.
So, while we wait for those tour dates to drop, one thing’s for sure: Beyoncé is once again setting the standard, blending genres and breaking barriers. The “Cowboy Carter Tour” is gearing up to be a must-be experience.
Stay ready, because when tickets drop, you better be prepared to cop.
