The world tour kicks off tonight (April 28) in Los Angeles

Beyoncé has shared a preview of the stage for her upcoming ‘Cowboy Carter‘ world tour. Check it out below.

The huge run of gigs kicks off in Los Angeles tonight (April 28) and will see Bey head across the US, before playing shows in the UK and France.

Ahead of the first show, the ‘Cuff It’ singer shared a sneak preview of the stage with fans, taking to Twitter/X to post a snippet alongside the caption: “SHE COMING.”

A video, taken from inside Los Angeles’s SoFi Stadium – where she’s set to play five concerts – shows an elaborate, star-shaped stage that leads to a pointed runway. The singer is known for her high production value, having similarly intricate designs at her previous ‘Renaissance‘ and ‘Formation‘ world tours.

Check out the clip below, as well as a full list of tour dates. You can also find any remaining tickets for US shows here and UK shows here.

 

The tour is in support of her country-inspired, Grammy-winning latest album, which she released last March.

NME awarded the album five stars, noting: “Even if interpreted only on the grounds of artistic spectacle, it’s an undeniable thrill to see [Beyoncé] swing so big on a project that dares her to be so intimate and vocal-focused, while making way for country’s up-and-comers too.”

Last week, it was reported that the cost of tickets for the tour’s opening nights had been reduced significantly due to low sales, with standard tickets available from $85, while resale tickets had dropped to $35 in some cases.

Live Nation have previously denied reports that Beyoncé is having trouble selling tickets. Last month, in a statement to Billboard, the events company claimed that 94 per cent of tickets for the tour have been sold.

The announcement of the UK dates at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has had the unexpected consequence of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) threatening to leave Twickenham Stadium. Chief executive Bill Sweeney alleged that licensing restrictions caused them to miss out on hosting a show on the tour.

Beyoncé last hit the road in 2023 in support of her previous studio album, ‘Renaissance’. It was one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, taking in a reported $579million (£455.7million) in revenue.

Earlier this year, Beyoncé finally won the coveted Album Of The Year award at the Grammys 2025 with ‘Cowboy Carter’. With a total of 99 nods, the singer is now the most nominated artist in Grammy history. She also holds the record for most Grammy wins, now with 35. Additionally, she is the first Black woman to have won the Best Country Album prize.

Taylor Swift believes Nashville has a music scene that stands apart from anywhere else.

The 36 year old singer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was young to chase her dream of becoming a country music star. After being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Monday (26.10.26), Taylor took the opportunity to recognise the city and the talented writers who have helped shape its music scene.

In her acceptance speech, Taylor said: "I believe you really get to master a craft by doing it again and again. That's exactly what the incredible songwriters in this wonderful town do every day."

Taylor also spoke about what makes Nashville such a special place for musicians.

The award winning singer, who ranks among the best selling music artists of all time, said: "You won't find another music community quite like this one. Trust me, I've checked them all."

Taylor also shared how being part of Nashville's songwriting scene had taught her valuable lessons about life and working with others.

She joked: "I've learned to be flexible when your co writer turns up with a hangover, or when they need to spend ages talking about their divorce before we can even get started on a song."

Taylor previously spoke about how Faith Hill and Shania Twain inspired her decision to move to Nashville.

Speaking to Time magazine, the singer said: "I couldn't get enough of watching TV biographies about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I realised they had both moved to Nashville to get their careers started. After that, I kept asking, pleading and begging my parents to take me there.

"When I was 11, my mum took my brother and me to Nashville during spring break, and we spent the trip driving around Music Row. She stayed in the car while I rushed into record companies one after another, giving my demo CD to the receptionists. I found it fascinating that so many major record labels were gathered along a single street, often inside little buildings and old houses.

"What really stayed with me was how welcoming people were to newcomers and complete strangers like us. We started visiting Nashville more often, and when I was 13, I received an offer for a development deal from a major record label. That was when my parents finally agreed to leave Pennsylvania and move with me."
