You think you know a Beyoncé tour? Last night in Inglewood California, the superstar kicked off The Cowboy Carter Tour—her fifth all-stadium stint and tenth concert tour overall, in support of her Grammy-winning album of the same name. And it might just be Queen Bey’s biggest spectacle yet.
On opening night in SoFi Stadium, the setlist included a whopping eight acts and a three hour-plus show, with songs not only from Cowboy Carter, but many of her past albums as well. There was a healthy mix of recent hits, like “Texas Hold ’Em,” played alongside classics like “Crazy in Love” and “Diva.” Not to mention, many of Bey’s newer songs got interpolations that winked to her discography, like a remix of “Spaghettii” infused with bits of “Run the World (Girls),” “My Power,” and “***Flawless,” or a rendition of “Thique” that honored her Destiny’s Child days with samples of “Say My Name” and “Bills, Bills, Bills.”
“I have the best fans in the world,” Beyoncé told the historic sold-out crowd on opening night. “I love you so much. We worked so hard to make this as perfect as we could for y’all. I hope y’all had fun.”
While it’s unclear how the show might change as Beyoncé takes the Cowboy Carter Tour across the United States, France, and England, one thing’s for certain: she is going to put on a spectacle. (And if you’re looking for last-minute tickets, go here).
