Beyoncé is taking “Cowboy Carter” on tour. The star confirmed her concert plans early Sunday morning in a pair of rousing social media posts that drew millions of reactions but left most details to the imagination.
An initial video clip of a rodeo-style billboard with “COWBOY CARTER TOUR” spelled out in lights popped up on Beyoncé’s Instagram page after midnight Eastern Time, and a portrait of the singer quickly followed alongside the caption “COWBOY CARTER TOUR 2025.” Exact dates, ticketing and location information are still under wraps.
CBS News reached out to the singer’s team for more details.
The announcement came just hours before Beyoncé and “Cowboy Carter” won big at the Grammy Awards, with trophies in multiple categories including Album of the Year.
Her fans had been expecting a tour announcement. Beyoncé first teased big news in an Instagram post shared on the heels of her halftime performance at the Houston NFL game on Christmas Day, which Netflix filmed for the streaming special “Beyoncé Bowl.” Originally slated for Jan. 14, the artist later postponed the announcement as wildfires devastated huge swaths of Los Angeles.
“I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss,” Beyoncé said in a statement at the time, pledging a $2.5 million donation to relief efforts through her foundation BeyGood. “We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community.”

Beyoncé led the nominations at the Grammys this year, earning 11 nods from the Recording Academy for “Cowboy Carter,” a genre-bending hit that broke cultural boundaries and held top spots on the Billboard music charts when it debuted last spring.
“I think sometimes genre is a codeword to keep us in our place as artists,” Beyoncé said Sunday night as she accepted the award for Best Country Album. “I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about.”
Her latest round of Grammy nominations pushed Beyoncé’s career tally to 99, and she officially became the most-nominated artist in the award show’s history. .
