Beyoncé is officially hitting the road for her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour. The superstar made the announcement on Saturday night, just hours before the 67th Grammy Awards, in a simple yet striking social media post that read “COWBOY CARTER TOUR 2025.” A video featuring a neon-lit sign displaying the same message was also shared, sparking immediate excitement among fans.
The homepage of her official website was updated to reflect the news, though no additional details, including tour dates or ticket sales information, have been revealed.
The Cowboy Carter tour announcement had originally been teased for January 14, but Beyoncé postponed it in light of the devastating California wildfires. Instead, she focused on relief efforts, pledging $2.5 million through her BeyGOOD foundation to aid families in Altadena and Pasadena who had been impacted by the fires, as noted by Variety.
“The Jan. 14 announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles,” Beyoncé shared at the time. “I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss.”
According to USA Today, fans first caught wind of the impending announcement when Netflix posted a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter) at midnight, writing, “Look at that horse,” a reference to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter track, “SWEET ☆ HONEY ☆ BUCKIIN’.” The streaming platform also linked to her Christmas Day halftime show performance from the Houston Texans-Baltimore Ravens game, which was broadcast on Netflix.
Shortly after, fans noticed that the last 15 seconds of the special had been updated to include flashing images followed by a black screen with the words “Cowboy Carter Tour.” Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s label, later responded to Netflix’s post, writing, “Saddle up, see y’all on the road.”
Beyoncé first performed songs from Cowboy Carter during her December 25 halftime show, marking the album’s live debut. The event streamed on Netflix and later released as a standalone special, fueled speculation that a tour announcement was imminent.
The album itself, released in March 2024, made history as Beyoncé’s eighth consecutive studio album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It also topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, making her the first Black woman to achieve that milestone, as noted by NBC News. Its lead single, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” has since been certified double platinum and earned Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
The tour announcement follows the pattern of her previous Renaissance World Tour, which was revealed in early February 2023—coinciding with Black History Month—before selling out venues worldwide.
While fans eagerly await official dates and ticket details, the confirmation of the Cowboy Carter tour alone has already set social media abuzz. With Beyoncé up for 11 Grammy nominations this year, including Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter, it’s possible that she could reveal additional details during or after the awards ceremony.
For now, one thing is certain: Beyoncé is saddling up for another record-breaking tour, and the BeyHive is more than ready.
