Giddy Up, BeyHive! Beyoncé Announces Cowboy Carter Tour Just Hours Before the Grammys
Beyoncé is gearing up for her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter Tour in 2025, officially confirmed hours before the 2025 Grammy Awards. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this moment since March, and after months of speculation, the Grammy-winning superstar made the big reveal on Saturday night with a cryptic Instagram video.
The video featured a glowing neon sign above a desert landscape, reading “Cowboy Carter Tour” in bold, brick-red letters, signaling the long-awaited announcement.
In a follow-up post, Beyoncé shared a stunning new headshot, sporting platinum braids and bleached eyebrows, set against a sleek black background. The caption simply read, “COWBOY CARTER TOUR 2025,” leaving fans buzzing with excitement, though no additional details or tour dates were disclosed.
The news was highly anticipated, especially after Beyoncé teased it during her NFL halftime performance on Christmas Day. Originally, she had set January 14 as the date for the announcement, but postponed it out of respect for the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. “I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
With the announcement, the momentum behind Cowboy Carter continues into the new year. The album has already been a commercial triumph, with the lead single “Texas Hold ‘Em” smashing streaming records and reaching No. 1 on multiple Billboard charts. Notably, Beyoncé became the first Black woman to top the Billboard Country charts, further cementing her groundbreaking success in the genre.
Her Christmas Day halftime performance—dubbed the “Beyoncé Bowl”—was a smash hit, showcasing several tracks from the album, including “16 Carriages,” “Ya Ya,” “My House,” “Spaghettii,” “Riiverdance,” “Sweet Honey Buckiin,” “Levii’s Jeans,” “Jolene,” “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and a stunning cover of The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” featuring a quartet of Black country singers: Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, and Brittney Spencer.
