Beyoncé Announces Tour Locations
Beyoncé shared the venues for her upcoming tour “Cowboy Carter.”
The singer revealed the first nine locations of her “Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin” on social media, including cities like London, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Paris, Houston, Washington D.C., and Las Vegas, accompanied by the message: “She is coming.” Dates for these cities have yet to be announced.
Grammy Wins and Tour Tease
This announcement follows her story at the Grammy Award 2025 last night (February 2), where she won the coveted Album of the Year at the 67th ceremony held in Los Angeles.
Previously, she had been nominated for the award four times without a win. In addition to Album of the Year, she received the Best Country Album award, presented to her by Taylor Swift at last night’s ceremony.

The details of her upcoming tour were first revealed yesterday on her Grammy social media.
In her post, a neon sign that read “Cowboy Carter Tour” was set against a desert landscape. She also shared a photo with the caption “Cowboy Carter Tour 2025.”
The speculation about the singer hitting the road began in December, when she hinted that she would be announcing important news for the new year through a mysterious video clip, following her hiatus from the NFL.
Then, on January 14—when the original announcement was scheduled—Beyoncé revealed that it would be postponed “due to the devastation caused by the continued forest fires around Los Angeles.”
Her last tour was in 2023 for her album “Renaissance.” Running from May to October and visiting 39 cities across 17 countries, it became one of the highest-grossing tours ever, earning $579 million (approximately £455.7 million).
Since then, she has released “Cowboy Carter,” which received a five-star review from NME, with critic Jensia Williams noting: “Even seen purely as an artistic spectacle, it’s an undeniable thrill to witness how vast its swing is in a project that dares to be so intimate and vocally focused, while paving the way for country. And R&B too.”
The album ranked seventh in NME‘s 50 Best Albums of 2024 list, and the song ‘16 Carriages’ was named the eighth best song of 2024.
In other Grammy news, Kendrick Lamar emerged as the biggest winner, taking home five awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Not Like Us.” He also won Grammys for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance, with “Not Like Us” also winning Best Music Video.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars delivered a heartfelt tribute to Los Angeles following the devastating fires earlier this year. Stevie Wonder also paid tribute to the late Quincy Jones, with Janelle Monáe representing him alongside Will Smith. You can view the full list of winners here.
