Beyoncé Kicks Off Cowboy Carter Tour With Family Flair

The music legend delivered a nearly three-hour spectacle that captivated fans and showcased her evolving artistry following her groundbreaking country album, Cowboy Carter. The setlist features 36 songs, blending tracks from the project with timeless hits like “Crazy In Love,” “Diva” and “Daddy Lessons.”

A standout moment was the surprise appearance of her 7-year-old daughter, Rumi, who joined Beyoncé onstage during “Protector,” a track from Cowboy Carter featuring Rumi’s vocals. Dressed in a gold sparkly feather dress and matching cowboy boots, Rumi charmed the audience with her stage presence.

Blue Ivy, 13, also graced the stage, performing alongside her mother in a coordinated ensemble. Her growth as a performer was evident, and she kept up with the best of her mother’s dancers on several songs including “Diva” and “My House.”

The concert was another visual masterpiece, featuring elaborate stage effects like a flying mechanical bull and car, along with a giant horseshoe, enhancing the Western-themed aesthetic. Beyoncé’s performance was truly a celebration of family, music and Texas roots, setting a high bar for the rest of the tour.
