Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour kicked off last night in Los Angeles, with thousands of tickets unsold. Meanwhile, resale prices have reportedly dipped below $25. Considering the album for which the tour is named earned Queen Bey Album of the Year at the Grammys, something just isn’t adding up.
But if fans thought the show would only include tracks from Bey’s country-themed album, they would be greatly mistaken. The nearly three-hour show kicked off with nearly every song from Cowboy Carter before launching into hits across her sizable catalog. And yes, that includes Renaissance.
Since Beyoncé only just wrapped up her career-spanning Renaissance tour in 2023, fans who expected the Cowboy Carter tour to include just songs from her latest album might have opted to skip it. And perhaps doubly so, given economic uncertainty, leading to many fans maybe not having the funds to attend a major concert in 2025.
Of course, Beyoncé’s been on the receiving end of a fair amount of criticism since releasing her foray into country music—despite winning her first Album of the Year Grammy for it. But that shouldn’t impact her fans’ decision to go see their idol; if anything, the realization that she’s using the Cowboy Carter tour as a way to expand her record-breaking Renaissance tour into a second act should be enticing.
Monday night saw the first of five shows at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, before she heads to Chicago and New Jersey. Whether clips of the show and news of the inclusion of her other career-spanning hits will lead to an increase in ticket sales remains to be seen.
