Beyoncé is set to embark on her “Cowboy Carter” tour, making the announcement through social media just before the 2025 Grammy Awards. The music icon shared promotional content on her Instagram account after midnight, though specific tour dates and locations remain under wraps.
The announcement follows her tremendously successful “Renaissance” world tour, which concluded in October 2023. That tour, spanning 56 shows across Europe and North America, each running for two and a half hours, shattered records by generating $579 million in ticket sales.
The superstar capitalized on the tour’s success with a concert film released in December 2023, which added another $44.4 million to the tour’s impressive earnings.
My Cowboy Carter Tour theory is that it’s probably not going to be an all 50 US states tour it’s probably only going to be in like 12 southern states but available to stream on Netflix as a tour/movie…. pic.twitter.com/YQkPv9PiTq

The 43-year-old artist’s latest musical endeavor, “Cowboy Carter”, represents the second installment of a three-part project that began during the COVID-19 lockdown. The first part, her Grammy-winning “Renaissance” album released in July 2022, celebrated house and disco genres.
“Cowboy Carter,” released in March 2024, has exceeded expectations, garnering 11 Grammy nominations and securing the top spot on Page Six’s annual album rankings. The country-influenced album features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including industry icons Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, alongside contemporary artists Miley Cyrus and Post Malone.

The Houston native’s decision to explore country music was partly influenced by her experience at the 2016 CMA Awards, where she performed alongside the Chicks. “The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me,” she wrote on Instagram last year.
The “16 Carriages” artist gave fans their first live taste of the new album during a Christmas Day performance, headlining the halftime show at the Baltimore Ravens versus Houston Texans game, which was broadcast on Netflix.
