When Beyoncé said “this ain’t a country album, this is a Beyoncé album,” she meant that. The multihyphenate star kicked off the “Cowboy Carter” and “Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit” Tour in Los Angeles on April 28, and social media has been lit ever since.
From iconic onstage moments with Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter to the fashion, the vocals, and the straight-up southern Black excellence, the opening moments of the tour have been everything. And the Bey Hive is watching every moment.

Blue Ivy returned to the stage and stole the spotlight during tracks like “Formation” and “America Has a Problem.” Fresh off her Renaissance and Christmas Day appearances, Blue Ivy did not hesitate.
The 12-year-old hit transitions, slayed, and danced like she’s been booked and busy since birth.
Rumi had her moment too—making her tour debut during “Protector” in a gold dress while Bey serenaded her baby girl. Fans were emotional watching three generations of Carter women. A montage of their sweet family moments sealed the deal and had folks tearing up, sharing, and dropping heart emojis.
Beyoncé Dazzles In Denim On The Cowboy Carter Stage – And She’s Just Getting Started
As expected, the Texas native dropped fire fits for her rodeo music party.
One fit we loved was a custom crystal-studded denim jumpsuit. The ensemble dripped in rhinestones with dramatic shoulder fringe, a glitzy cowboy hat, and shades that screamed country glam.
It was giving rodeo-ready alien superstar—and fans loved it.

One fan said it best: “We are so back.” So, get ready, y’all – the Cowboy Carter Queen (and her dynasty) has arrived again.
