Everything Beyoncé Does at the Cowboy Carter Tour
This ain’t Texas; it’s Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles. It’s official, Beyoncé has kicked off the first rodeo of the Cowboy Carter tour on Monday, April 28, in California. After months of teasing, including one final sneak peek of the stage set up, we’re saddling up for another concert season filled with boots, Levi’s, and more cowboy hats than normal. When in Rome, right? Here’s everything that happened during the first night of the Cowboy Carter tour, including Blue Ivy and Rumi’s surprise appearances, and what to expect from future shows.

What did Beyoncé wear?
Tassels, sparkles, stars, and stripes; she’s keeping to the Cowboy/Americana theme while still being very pop-star-at-the-top-of-her-game with the bling. Even if she’s singing in Italian.

Does Beyoncé have any openers?
Nope, it was all Beyoncé. But she did bring out a special guest or two.
Did Blue Ivy come back?
Of course, she did! Blue Ivy joined her mom during “YA YA,” “America Has a Problem,” “Formation,” “My House,” and “Protector,” earning herself a big promotion from the Renaissance tour.

Did Beyoncé’s other children join her on stage?
Rumi, Bey’s youngest daughter, made sure join her sister for “Protector,” her first time on stage with her mom. Once the song finished, the screen showed a montage of pics of Bey with all three of her children. Cute!
