Beyhive, giddy up: The “Cowboy Carter” tour is officially underway. Beyoncé kicked off the 32-stop country spectacle on Monday night, bringing Texas flair to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for the first of five shows at the venue. Clocking in at just under three hours, Beyoncé brought her Grammy-winning country album, Cowboy Carter, to life. With ambitious stage production, an array of custom cowboy-themed looks from designers like Burberry and Roberto Cavalli, as well as onstage appearances from her daughters, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” hitmaker set the bar high on night one.

“They used to say I spoke ‘too country.’ And the rejection came, said I wasn’t, ‘country enough,’” Beyoncé sang, before kicking off the show with “American Requiem.” “They don’t know how hard I had to fight for this when I sing my song.”

Here are some highlights from the tour’s opening night.

‘Crazy in Love,’ ‘Diva’ and more from her 36-song setlist

The “Cowboy Carter” tour features an expansive, seven-act setlist that clocks in at nearly three hours. While the majority of the tracks were from Beyoncé’s latest album, Cowboy Carter, her first full-length foray into country music, the Grammy winner also amped up the nostalgia with performances of 2003’s “Crazy in Love,” 2006’s “Deja Vu” and 2008’s “Diva.”

Dressed in Burberry, Mugler, Roberto Cavalli and more

It isn’t a Beyoncé concert without showstopping displays of fashion. With an intentionally crafted selection of onstage looks, the “16 Carriages” singer put a glitzy spin on Western dressing. Helmed by the tour’s styling lead Shiona Turini, Beyoncé’s opening night outfits included a plunging white Mugler bodysuit with fringed chaps, a matching cowboy hat and diamond bolo tie, as well as a sequined plaid bodysuit and chaps look by Burberry, in the designer’s signature print. The “II Most Wanted” singer also serenaded fans in a denim-printed catsuit by Roberto Cavalli complete with a statement gold belt buckle and fringed sleeves.

Additional “Cowboy Carter” looks include a heavily tasseled, red rhinestone-encrusted Moschino catsuit and an LED ball gown by Anrealage that projected an array of images, including an American flag across the front.

Daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi join Beyoncé on stage

Beyoncé’s firstborn daughter, 13-year-old Blue Ivy, is no stranger to taking the stage with her mom. On night one of the Cowboy Carter tour, Blue joined Beyoncé onstage for a handful of tracks, including “America Has a Problem,” during which she surprised audiences with hard-hitting moves.

Blue was also present for the stage debut her younger sister, 7-year-old Rumi Carter, doing “Protector.”

A mechanical bull, neon horseshoe and vintage lowrider — plus showstopping visuals

With its ambitious stage production, the Cowboy Carter tour has proven to be a full-fledged country spectacle. Over the course of the nearly three-hour show on Monday, Bey rode a mechanical bull as she sang “Tyrant,” flew above the crowd on an over-the-top, neon horseshoe for “Daddy Lessons” and was suspended in midair in a vintage red lowrider during “16 Carriages.”

The Beyhive was also treated to impressive interlude visuals, including touching home video clips of Beyoncé as a child, her Destiny’s Child days and her viral reaction to winning Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammys. During an interlude for her track “Alligator Tears,” Beyoncé is seen cozying up to a Louisiana alligator.

Oprah, Gayle King, Sheryl Lee Ralph and more celebrity attendees

Decked out in fringe, bedazzled in rhinestones and dressed in light denim, celebrities like Oprah, Gayle King, Lizzo and Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph were in attendance for the opening night of the tour.

“Finally got to sing Texas Hold ‘Em at the top of my lungs with @beyonce!” Oprah captioned a separate post on Instagram. “Threw my keys up so hard and now I gotta go find them.”
