Exclusive Review: Beyonce Blazes London with Colossal ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’

Beyonce’s colossal ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’ rode into London for the first of a six-night run at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And it was a breathtaking rollercoaster.

Mounted in support of the music monarch’s eighth studio album, ‘Cowboy Carter,’ the global trek follows the history-making ‘Renaissance World Tour.’

With the 2023 outing smashing box office records, Queen Bey’s Country-coated offering had tall boots to follow.

Ever one to rise to the challenge and elevate the definition of greatness in the process, the superstar has cultivated an experience that resonates musically, culturally, and creatively.

The BeyHive is buzzing – and with just cause. For, the Queen’s latest live venture may well be her sweetest tasting tour to date.

More on the electrifying performance below.

Anchored in anthems featured on the GRAMMY Album of the Year, the near three-hour spectacle saw the Houston native heat up the UK capital with  the likes of ‘YaYa,’ ‘Jolene,’ and #1 smash ‘Texas Hold Em’.’

The infectious ‘Bodyguard,’ which the superstar deemed her “favorite” from ‘Cowboy Carter,’ aptly received a thunderous response.

Sewn throughout the rousing rodeo was an unrivaled arsenal of earlier hits, including ‘Crazy In Love,’ and returning favorites such as ‘Single Ladies,’ ‘If I Were A Boy,’ and ‘Irreplaceable.’

In leading as an artist who drives herself, the culture, and the industry forward, it is no secret that Beyonce often draws on her tours to centralize her latest artistic vision. Yet, in skillfully fusing the new and the known, the ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’ serves as a feast for all.

Renowned for her ferocity as a performer, the diva ensured that choreography took center stage during the show.

Armed with a troop of energized dancers, Beyonce blazed with high-octane sequences that scorched in earnest. The dance breaks for ‘My House’ and ‘Sweet Honey ‘Buckiin’ were particular standouts, as was the return of Les Twins.

As one of the most versatile performers of all time, the mother of three juxtaposed the choreographed electricity and airborne segments with moving familial moments, too.

13-year-old Blue Ivy, who performs throughout the show, gave a knowing nod to her mom’s iconic legacy during ‘Deja Vu.’ All the while carving out an impressive presence of her own. Rumi also tugged at heartstrings during an emotional rendition of ‘Protector.’

When the 7-year-old began singing the words to the interpolated ‘Dangerously In Love’ (the title track of her mom’s debut album), it put into focus the enormity of what Beyonce has managed to achieve over the course of her three decades in the spotlight.

She is an artist who unites generations. She is an artist who defines a generation. And, perhaps most impressively, she is an artist who continues to inspire generations.

All of which the incredible ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’ unapologetically underscores in earnest.
