Beyoncé gives special shout-out during second Chicago show: 'We got Shaboozey in the house'
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has yet to perform onstage with her "Cowboy Carter" collaborators during the tour, but one in particular showed up to her show in Chicago. And she made sure to give him a special shout-out.
Beyoncé took the stage at Solider Field for her second concert in the Windy City on May 17. During her performance, she told fans there was a special guest in the building.
"We got Shaboozey in the house tonight," she said. And the Nigerian-American artist was sure to confirm this, posting the stadium to his Instagram story during the show. Born as Collins Chibueze, Shaboozey is featured on her songs "Spaghettii" and "Sweet Honey Buckiin'" from the eight studio album.
While she was handing out thank-yous toward the end of the show, she once again expressed her appreciation for the "Tipsy" singer, saying, "once again thank you to Shaboozey for being here tonight." Fans will remember, Beyoncé performed with Shaboozey during the NFL halftime performance on Christmas Day. Some of her other featured guests and collaborators included Post Malone, Tiera Kennedy, Brittney Spencer, Tanner Adell and Reyna Roberts.
The Grammy-winning singer will perform her "Cowboy Carter" tour at Soldier Field for a total of three nights. The last concert in Chi-town is set for May 18 on the same stage.
Of course, Beyoncé first debuted the highly anticipated show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. She performed a total of five shows there, and the concerts proved to be revolutionary spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and politics.
The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. Beyoncé has already made history with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.

Will There Be a Season 3 of ‘America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?'

Season 1 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders first graced the screen in June 2024, and the docuseries became a huge hit for Netflix. The second season debuted this month on June 18, and fans already want more. Here's what we know about season 3 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Netflix has not officially announced a season 3, but the team has been teasing the audition process for the coming year. They even shared a finalized roster of 36 cheerleaders this June for training camp 2025, and a clip featuring guest judge, Kacey Musgraves—who would be a huge get for a new season. Each season is an examination of the young women auditioning to perform on the cheerleading team for the Dallas Cowboys, following those who make it to training camp as they grow and develop their skills. Season 2 followed both the rookies and the seasoned veterans who will ultimately find their place in one of the 36 spots on the official squad. Training camp is led by DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell, who will most likely be back. Musgraves seems to be involved in some capacity, and some girls will be returning from past seasons. The team also shared their 'rookie roundup.' Fan favorite Dayton might make an appearance, though this fan-made TikTok explains she did not make the final round. If the show is definitely continuing, it seems likely that it would be released next summer, since season 1 and 2 both came out in June, one year apart. This post will be updated.

‘Sargent and Paris' at the Met

John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) was the most lauded portraitist of his day. At the height of his career, he painted the crème de la crème of society: Gilded Age titans of industry, American dollar princesses, and aristocratic Edwardian beauties. The foundations of his artistic practice can be traced to his time in Paris, where he arrived in 1874 at age 18 and stayed for a decade. He drew inspiration from his teacher, contemporary painters, a varied social circle of creatives and patrons, and art history. 'Sargent and Paris,' a special exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on view through Aug. 3, 2025, explores this productive, essential period of his work. The show culminates in a presentation of Sargent's pivotal painting 'Madame X,' but the exhibition's ingenuity is that it places the artwork in the context of his rich, early Parisian portraits.

Frans Hals's ‘The Laughing Cavalier'

The paramount artistic talents of the Dutch Golden Age are often identified as Rembrandt and Vermeer. However, some connoisseurs, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, ranked Frans Hals (circa 1582–1666) the premiere Dutch Baroque painter. Hals was popular in his lifetime for genre scenes, often of merrymaking, as well as individual and group portraits. His tonal palette and bravura brushwork inspired subsequent generations of significant artists, such as the American expatriate John Singer Sargent. He proclaimed, 'It's hard to find anyone who knows more about oil painting than Frans Hals.'
