In a follow-up post, she shared a promotional image of herself sporting blonde braids with the caption “Cowboy Carter Tour 2025.” Details about the upcoming trek remain under wraps, but the announcement came just hours before Sunday’s 67th Annual Grammy Awards, where she is expected to attend.
Netflix first teased the upcoming Cowboy Carter Tour with a 10-second clip on Saturday night, just after the conclusion of the streaming service’s Beyoncé Bowl special.
After her headline-grabbing halftime show performance at the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game on Christmas Day, the 32-time Grammy winner posted a cinematic teaser on social media hinting at a mystery project set for announcement on Jan. 14. Many fans speculated the reveal would be related to a tour in support of her country album Cowboy Carter, which topped the Billboard 200. These theories gained traction when Live Nation, which also backed her Renaissance World Tour, reposted her teaser content.
When Jan. 14 arrived, however, Beyoncé postponed the announcement, citing the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
“The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles,” she wrote on social media. “I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss. We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community.”
Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour was named Billboard‘s top-grossing tour of 2023, earning nearly $580 million and attracting 2.8 million concertgoers across 56 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore.
In addition to her tour news, Beyoncé — who was named Billboard’s Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century in 2024 — is dominating the 2025 Grammy nominations with 11 nods. Cowboy Carter is nominated for album of the year and best country album. The set’s lead single “Texas Hold ‘Em” is up for song of the year, record of the year and best country song.
The 2025 Grammy Awards will be broadcast live from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday (Feb. 2) at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
