Beyonce already smashing records with Cowboy Carter Tour earnings
Beyonce has started her 'Cowboy Carter Tour' with a record setting $55.7 million gross.
The 'Crazy In Love' hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on May 9, pulled in well over $50 million with 217,000 tickets sold.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the Los Angeles run is the "biggest reported single-venue engagement" of the year so far.
It's also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, beaten only by U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas across 2023 and 2024, Harry Styles at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2022, and Take That's Wembley Stadium run in 2011.
It's also the highest-grossing single-venue engagement in history by a female artist.
Beyonce started her tour on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7 and 9, pulling in an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show.
With three performances as SoFi in 2023, her eight gigs in total is more than any other artist in the venue's five-year history.
On the opening night of the SoFi run, the Grammy Award winner was joined onstage by her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter.
Blue Ivy, 13, danced with her famous mother during her performance of 'America Has A Problem'.
Later on, it was time for Beyoncé and Jay-Z's seven-year-old, Rumi Carter, to make her onstage debut.
As Beyoncé belted out the moving ballad 'Protector', Rumi and her big sister stood with her under the spotlight.
Following the performance, pictures of Beyoncé and her three children - also including Rumi's twin brother Sir - appeared on a big screen behind her.
Blue Ivy was part of the backup dance troupe for her superstar mom on her 2023 'Renaissance Tour'.
She also joined her mother onstage for her NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show in 2024.
The talented teenager has followed in her famous parents' footsteps and voiced Kiara in the 2024 Disney film 'Mufasa: The Lion King'.

Alex Garland pitched a 28 Years Later 'completely in Mandarin'
Alex Garland's original pitch for 28 Years Later had the film "completely in Mandarin". The 55-year-old writer-and-director has teamed up with Danny Boyle for the third installment of the horror franchise, and he's admitted the screenplay he started working on following the COVID-19 pandemic was "completely and utterly generic", but with a "punk" twist. Alex told Rolling Stone magazine: "Yeah, it was completely and utterly f****** generic. "There's always been something slightly punk about 28 Days Later…, which I think stems from my age, Danny's age, and where we grew up. "The idea was that a group of military commandos would break quarantine and try to get to the place where the virus had originated, in order to find a cure. When they got there, they found another group that had got there first, and who were trying to weaponise the virus. "The punk element was that the commandos would be Chinese Special Forces, and the film would be completely in Mandarin and subtitled, and just sort of be f****** with people in various ways.' The film would have seen major action sequences, including shootouts and mass attacks, which Alex could "think of a bunch of filmmakers who could have effectively picked it up and run with it.' However, his concern the plot was predictable and not quite right was confirmed when he turned the script over to Danny. Alex recalled: "Danny, in effect, said to me: 'Alex, are you kidding?' 'He didn't come out with it quite that bluntly. Or maybe he did. But he very nicely kept trying to make it work, suggesting 'what if we did this, what if we did that?' Finally, we both gave up on it." However, the early idea had one advantage because it gave the pair a sense of freedom that allowed them to have a "totally blank slate" for the third film in the franchise. Alex added: "But oddly enough, writing something so generic was the freeing element to all of our problems. It gave us permission to have a totally blank slate. "And it coincided with me not wanting to direct anything for a bit. I was very much into the idea of writing something for somebody else."

Jay-Z makes surprise appearance at Beyonce concert
Jay-Z made a surprise appearance during Beyoncé's concert in Paris on Sunday (22.06.25) night. The 43-year-old singer welcomed her husband onto the stage at Stade de France during her third Cowboy Carter Tour show in the city, and the couple sang Crazy in Love together for the first time in more than six years. Fan footage circulating online, including a clip by Cardi B, who was in the audience, showed Beyoncé stepping aside during Crazy in Love as Jay made a sudden appearance on stage to rap his verse. In addition, Jay also joined his wife for a version of 2013's Drunk in Love, remixed with Partition, and his own N***** in Paris, which was originally a collaboration with Kanye West. The last time the couple performed together was at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in Johannesburg, South Africa, in December 2018. The duet marked the first time Beyoncé has performed Drunk in Love on her Cowboy Carter Tour, and her Paris shows also saw another new addition to the setlist. On 19 June, Miley Cyrus was a surprise guest and she joined the former Destiny's Child singer on the live debut of their ballad 'II Most Wanted'. Before Miley shot up from under the stage, Beyoncé gushed: 'I'm so excited because I wanted to do something very special for you guys. 'I could not do it without this young lady's help, so I want you to scream as loud as you can. I wan't y'all for this icon. 'I'm your biggest fan. I'm so grateful to watch you, to sing with you, Miss Miley Cyrus.' It marked the first time the pair had performed the song together live. Miley penned the song andpreviously admitted it was a "dream come true" to record it with the Texas Hold 'Em hitmaker. She told W Magazine: 'I wrote that song, like, two and a half years ago. My mom would always go, 'I love that song so much.' So when Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship. 'I told [Beyoncé], 'We don't have to get country; we are country. We've been country.' I said, 'You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.' Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyoncé was a dream come true.''
