Plus Our Top 14 Moments From the Cowboy Carter Tour!
Let’s be clear—Beyoncé is the greatest living entertainer to ever do it (Find Somebody Else to Argue With!). This weekend, she brought her spectacular Cowboy Carter Tour to a close in Las Vegas on July 26, and we were not at all ready to say goodbye.
The 32-stop, nine city tour was nothing short of jaw-dropping, from stunning custom costumes and high-octane choreography to intoxicating visuals and thrilling special effects. And that’s not even mentioning Beyoncé’s sheer prowess—her stamina, endurance, control, commanding stage presence, and most of all, her powerful voice. Make no mistake: Beyoncé is an elite-level musical athlete (Seriously, she is ESPY-award worthy!).
Onstage, she masterfully weaves a story of legacy, resilience, and cultural impact. Her musical athleticism was only amplified by the presence of her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter, who joined their mom night after night. It was even more impressive to see that even in frigid weather, high winds, and pouring rain, her daughter’s performances didn’t stop—an ode to their mother’s legendary work ethic.
Throughout the tour, Beyoncé was joined by special guests including Miley Cyrus and Jay-Z during her Paris stop. And on the final night in Vegas, fans were treated to an unforgettable moment: Cowboy Carter collaborator Shaboozey, longtime musical partner (and husband) Jay-Z, and the group that started it all—Destiny’s Child—reunited on stage.
The crowd went wild as Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland joined Beyoncé for the first time since Beyoncé’s 2018 headlining Coachella performance. It felt like old times—and they all looked like timeless beauties. Talk about being the quintessential Muses Ever After!
According to a recent Billboard report, the Cowboy Carter Tour sold 1.6 million tickets and grossed $407.6 million, making it the highest-grossing country tour ever. It’s also the shortest tour to gross over $400 million (Where are all the haters that kept spreading rumors about her struggling ticket sales? Crickets?Exactly).
Now that Act II has come to a triumphant close, fans are eagerly awaiting the third—and possibly final—installment of her musical trilogy. While no official word has been released, the Beyhive has theories aplenty, and all signs point to a rock-n-roll infused Act III.
We may not know the theme or direction just yet, but what’s certain is this: like every era before it, the final chapter will deliver joy, liberation, and a reminder to reclaim what’s always been ours.
As Beyoncé powerfully declares to the audience at the end of Act II:
“Don’t ever ask permission for something that already belongs to you.”

Don’t Ever Ask Permission for Something That Already Belongs to You.”
-Beyoncé
This inspiring message from Beyoncé is clear. No matter what comes next, it’s already ours for the taking.
Muses, are you ready for Act III? We can hardly wait! Until then…
