Overview

  • Beyoncé opened the London leg of her Grammy-winning Cowboy Carter tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a sold-out three-hour spectacle of more than 40 songs.
  • The stadium show unfolds in seven acts with multiple costume changes, mechanical bulls and flying acrobatics underscoring her genre-blending tribute to country and pop.
  • Her daughters Blue Ivy, 13, and seven-year-old Rumi joined her on stage, adding intimate family moments to the high-energy performance.
  • A mid-set wardrobe malfunction during "I’m That Girl" saw Beyoncé recover seamlessly, turning a costume slip into part of the choreography.
