The BeyHive is buzzing after Beyoncé dazzled on the first night of her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour.
On Monday (April 28), Bey kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour with the first of five shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
Bey performed nearly every song off her Grammy award-winning album, along with her hits from her decades-long career, including a run from Act 1: Renaissance.
The singer started the show with a rendition of Cowboy Carter's opener "American Requiem," before transitioning into "Blackbird" and a portion of "The Star-Spangled Banner," which was interrupted by a message that read: "Never ask permission for something that already belongs to you," a mantra of her country album and tour.
An emotional moment in the show came just after Bey sang renditions of Cowboy Carter's “Alliigator Tears” and “Just for Fun.” During her performance of "Protector," the singer brought out her seven-year-old daughter, Rumi, who hugged her mom and appeared alongside her older sister, Blue, who was a part of the dance crew throughout the show.
For her rendition of "Jolene," Bey levitated through the audience on a horseshoe. The Grammy Award winner rode a golden mechanical bull for her performance of "Tyrant." She again soared through the crowd in a car while singing "16 Carriages" to all of her Los Angeles fans.
Beyoncé's nearly 3-hour show featured countless costume changes, dance breaks, vocal runs, and interludes with western film-inspired visuals and footage highlighting her family and iconic moments throughout her career.
