LOS ANGELES — Beyoncé’s latest tour kicked off with a heartfelt and unforgettable moment as her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter, joined her onstage at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28. The “Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour” began with a powerful blend of country music, emotional family moments, and high-energy performances.
Blue Ivy Carter, now 13, stole the spotlight early in the show, performing during “America Has a Problem.” With the crowd erupting in cheers, Blue danced confidently at center stage, while Beyoncé beamed with pride. This marks Blue's second time joining her mother on tour, following her debut during the 2023 Renaissance World Tour in Paris and her appearance at the Beyoncé Bowl halftime show on Christmas Day 2024.
Adding to the night’s emotional highlights, Beyoncé brought 7-year-old Rumi Carter onstage during the tender performance of “Protector.” The song, featuring lyrics like “Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own / I will be your projector,” became even more poignant as mother and daughter stood together for Rumi's first public performance.
As the song concluded, Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, and Rumi shared smiles and stood united, prompting an emotional reaction from fans. A touching montage of Beyoncé with her children then played on the stadium screens, leaving many in the audience visibly moved.
The Los Angeles concert launched the 32-date Cowboy Carter tour, which spans both the U.S. and Europe. The tour will wrap up in Las Vegas on July 26 and is already making history, with Beyoncé set to become the artist with the most performances at SoFi Stadium.
Beyoncé first announced the tour in a surprise reveal the night before the 2025 Grammy Awards, where she won both Best Country Album and Album of the Year for "Cowboy Carter." Released in March 2024, the 27-track album marked a bold step into country music for the global superstar. The record features collaborations with legendary and rising Black country artists and has shattered multiple records since its debut.
This tour follows the immense success of Beyoncé’s 2023 Renaissance World Tour, which spanned 56 shows across the globe. That tour celebrated her seventh studio album, Renaissance (2022), a critically acclaimed project that earned four Grammy Awards, including Best Dance/Electronic Music Album, solidifying Beyoncé as the most decorated artist in Grammy history.
“Cowboy Carter” is the second act in Beyoncé’s announced three-part project. As the tour continues, fans can expect more show-stopping performances, family moments, and history in the making.
