Beyonce Bowl
The NFL halftime show during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game gave fans a glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming Cowboy Carter tour.
Beyonce started off the show riding a white horse into the NRG Stadium and singing 16 carriages.
This halftime show, also dubbed Beyonce Bowl, was the first live performance featuring songs from Beyonce's genre-bending and record-breaking album Cowboy Carter.
NFL Christmas Gameday featuring two league games and Beyonce's half-time show performance are available to stream on Netflix.
Tour announcement
Beyoncé first revealed the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour the evening before the Grammy Awards.
The next day, the pop icon took home both album of the year and best country album awards for her eighth studio album "Cowboy Carter".
Beyonce added extra dates
After announcing her highly anticipated tour in the beginning of February, fans quickly filled up presale sign-up spots and flooded to social media to ask for more.
Following an incredible demand, Beyonce has since added a third night at the Stade de France in Paris as well as a fifth and sixth performance at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
She has also extended her runs at Soldier Field in Chicago and Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, adding a third show in both cities.
Setlist predictions
Cowboy Carter tour, aptly named after Beyonce's eighth studio album, will kick off in April, 2025.
It will be Beyonce's fifth all-stadium tour and fans are anticipating to hear the songs from the latest album.
With discography as vast as Beyonce's, it's nearly impossible to predict what other songs would make the cut.
However, fans are certain that tracks from Renaissance album won't be making a comeback as they were performed at the last tour.

How a tour such as Cowboy Carter boosts the economy
Catherine Shuttleworth, chief executive at marketing consultancy Savvy, said: “Cities fight to have Beyoncé playing because she sparks a huge influx of visitors ready to spend.
“Her tours boost hotels and restaurants and even salons as people want to look their best.”
Huge boost to the economy
Beyoncé’s eight-date UK stadium tour in 2023 helped boost the economy by £8billion, with billions more set to come next year thanks to fans splashing cash on travel, hotels and eating out.
A source added: “Oasis and Beyoncé are top tier and demand for tickets will be fierce. Over seven million people tried to get Oasis tickets — and Beyoncé’s fans will be out in force too.
“This summer, major artists like Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Usher and Sabrina Carpenter are booked to play UK arena shows too.
“The boost to the economy is going to be phenomenal. This is what the public needs right now — something to look forward to.”
