Beyoncé gave a nod to her husband, Jay-Z, during the closing New York area stretch of her Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour. Bey kicked off the New York stint back on May 22, and closed out with her fifth show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on May 29.
USA Today reportsthat, late in the show, Beyoncé was decked out in a "NY" cowboy hat – along with sparkly chaps, a fringed varsity jacket, and a T-shirt featuring a throwback photo of none other than her Brooklyn-born husband. Beyoncé also included a snippet of Jay’s 2008 hit "I'm a Hustler" in her set.
The tour comes on the heels of Beyoncé’s award-winning success with 2024’s Cowboy Carter – including the project taking home this year’s Grammy for Album of the Year.
"I just feel full and very honored," she said during her acceptance speech. "It's been many, many years. I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work.”
Bey’s trek began with five shows in Los Angeles, from April 28 to May 9 in Inglewood's SoFi Stadium. Just days before the tour’s opening night, the Grammy winner shared a video with footage from the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. It shows the impressive stage setup and a look at the entirety of the stadium; it gives the viewer an idea of the massive scale of Beyoncé’s show.
The next stop on the tour is London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 5. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe before wrapping up in Las Vegas on July 26. You can see the full list of tour dates here.
