Beyoncé's unreleased music was stolen. Now Atlanta PD has an arrest warrant in hand
Queen Bey just wrapped up her shows in the ATL, but a bad tone was set for the four-night stand on July 8 when a Jeep Wagoneer rented by Beyoncé's choreographer Christopher Grant was broken into. The vehicle was on the main level of a parking structure near the city's Krog Street Market.
Grant and dancer Diandre Blue had stopped at a restaurant shortly after 8 p.m. to get something to eat. When they returned a little more than an hour later, they saw that the back window of the SUV had been smashed and their suitcases had been stolen, according to an Atlanta Police Department report.
The two suitcases held two computers and five jump drives containing unreleased music by Beyoncé as well as footage, plans for the tour production and past and future set lists, the report said. Clothing, Apple AirPods Max headphones and designer sunglasses were also taken, the report said.
'They have my computer, and it's really, really important information in there,' Grant said in a 911 call released by Atlanta police, keeping his employer's name out of it. 'I work with someone who is, like, of a high status, and I really need my computer.' He told police that the 'Find My' feature was tracking his Mac devices.
An officer was able to lift 'two very light' fingerprints from the black Wagoneer, and police responded to the area where the devices were pinging. A suspicious vehicle being driven by a man was identified.
Police said Monday in a release that they had secured an arrest warrant for a male suspect. 'At this time, the suspect remains outstanding, and their identity is not yet available for release,' they said.
Bey's tour stop wrapped with a small catastrophe as well: An escalator at the city's Vine City MARTA station reportedly sped up, then stopped, causing a small stampede after someone screamed. Medics took people out of the station on stretchers and in wheelchairs, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
'the escalator BROKE. someone screamed, people started running and at some point (maybe because the escalator broke and it was WAY too many people) people got injured,' user @carlyraesasuke wrote Tuesday morning on X. 'saw some poor lady on one of the benches with her leg bleeding and a handful of others on the floor. madness.'
Next, Beyoncé heads to Las Vegas for the final shows of the Cowboy Carter Tour on July 25-26.

The DIY'd Looks at Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball Are Paparazzi-Worthy
Put your paws up, Little Monsters: Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball tour has officially begun. Kicking off in Las Vegas on July 16th, the pop superstar is taking her show on the road across the globe—with performances happening in San Fransisco this week, followed by additional stops in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Even better than seeing Gaga perform a multitude of hits in theatrical fashions? Observing what her devoted fans are wearing in the crowd, of course. Just over one week in, and Little Monsters have already proven to be dedicated method dressers. This summer's buzzy tours—from Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter to Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Grand National Tour—have also seen crowds show up in style, though thus far, Mayhem Ball looks have emerged as especially over-the-top, with some dead-ringers for iconic Gaga 'fits. Dare we say, the handmade meat dresses and latex gowns rival the splashy designs the superstar wears on stage. Gaga performing at the Mayhem Ball Many fans have recreated the red lace Alexander McQueen dress (and facial covering) that Gaga wore to the 2009 MTV VMAs. Others have captured her spooky-chic spirit by hand-bedazzling jackets with tons of blood-red crystals. One creator even hand-crocheted an entire angelic-white dress (a vibe that nods to Gaga's recent 'Abracadabra' music video). These days, attending a concert is just as much about the looks as it is the performance—and the Mayhem Ball is officially this summer's freaky high-fashion fantasy, where creativity can be unleashed to the max. Put your paws up! Below, see some of the best Mayhem Ball outfits so far.

Beyoncé heads to Vegas for final shows: Extreme heat, bag policy, Allegiant Stadium tips
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is riding into final stretch of her "Cowboy Carter" tour and is set to deliver two high-powered shows to close out the era. The Grammy-winning singer is headed to Las Vegas for the last stop on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is poised to take the stage at Allegiant Stadium for two nights on July 25 and 26. The Vegas stop comes after Beyoncé delivered four dazzling concerts at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, debuting new stunts and bringing out husband Jay-Z for the first time on a U.S. stop of her tour. During the four-night stint, Bey teased that the ATL crowd was her "loudest" yet. Of course, Beyoncé first kicked off her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with a 39-song set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion and different music genres. Here's what to know as fans head to Allegiant Stadium to witness the final two shows. Logistics: How to get to Allegiant Stadium, when doors open Allegiant Stadium is located at 3333 Al Davis Way in Las Vegas. It is accessible by car, on foot or through public transportation. On the Vegas Strip, the RTC's Deuce bus runs 24/7 and stops every 15 minutes at 57 locations along Las Vegas Boulevard. Fans who prefer to use ride-share options should be picked up and dropped in Lot N — just north of the stadium. Walking to Allegiant Stadium from the Las Vegas Strip is convenient and safe using the Hacienda Bridge. The stadium doors open at 5 p.m. local time. However, fans with VIP packages should check their emails prior to arrival for specific instructions for early entry. The show is set to kick off at 7 p.m., though Beyoncé's actual start time has varied between 7 and 8 p.m. Fans should note the stadium is cashless. Parking information for Allegiant Stadium Parking lots will open at 4 p.m. local time. Fans are encouraged to purchase parking ahead of the show. According to the site, there is no in-and-out access and fans are advised to pay electronically or with a card at the gates. Concertgoers can buy a parking space using the SpotHero app. Official parking spaces were priced around $50. However, there were additional lots starting around $30. Parking rates are subject to change without notice. What's the weather in Vegas? From the United States to Europe, Beyoncé and her fans have braved severe weather conditions, an evacuation, cold temperatures, scorching heat and rainy weather for her concerts. Fans should take note of the weather in their respective cities before putting on their chic cowboy-core attire. In Vegas, fans can expect sweltering temperatures. It's important to stay hydrated before and during the nearly three-hour show. Forecasts expect temperatures to reach 102 degrees Fahrenheit on both July 25 and 26. Bag policy, prohibited items at Allegiant Stadium Fans must follow the NFL clear bag policy at Allegiant Stadium. Guests are allowed to bring bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12-by-6-by-12 inches. This includes clear backpacks, clear fanny packs and clear cinch bags. Attendees are also permitted to bring one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags, but the logo can only be on one side. Additionally, small, non-clear bags that do not exceed 4.5-by-6.5 inches, with or without a handle or strap, are allowed. Medical bags or kits are acceptable and will be searched at the gate. Fans with large bags or suitcases may check their bags for a nonrefundable $20 fee per bag, payable via cashless payment. There will be three bag check locations, opening the same time stadium doors open and closing one hour after the event. Any bags not picked up before closing will be transferred to lost and found. Audio or visual recording devices of any size will not be permitted inside the venue. See a full list of prohibited items at The nine-city tour has spanned the U.S. and Europe, the grand finale is just days away.

Christina Aguilera Rewears Vintage Versace Dress 22 Years Later
Christina Aguilera has us seeing double! To celebrate the West End premiere of Burlesque: The Musical at London's Savoy Theatre, the multi-hyphenate, 44, attended a photocall for the show on Monday, July 21, wearing a gothic glam look she had previously worn 22 years ago. The singer dressed for the occasion in a green Versace dress from the Italian fashion house's fall 2003 collection. Aguilera served as the model for the look back then, posing bare-faced for a campaign shot by famed photographer Steven Meisel. In 2003, Donatella Versace, who stepped down as Versace's creative director after nearly 30 years to become its global ambassador in March, opened up about what it meant to have Aguilera be the face of a campaign for the brand. 'I watch the videos of Christina and I always die. She is a great dancer, a great singer, her voice is amazing. I always hoped I could do something with her, but I wanted to be friends first, that is the most important thing for me," Versace said at the time, per Billboard. This time around, Aguilera put a sexy, rocker spin on the famed corset lace number, wearing her long, straight platinum blonde hair gently pushed back as it fell over the dress's sweetheart neckline. Aguilera paired the asymmetrical design with black knee-high boots that matched her dark lipstick and eye makeup. That same year, she also wore Versace to the MTV Europe Awards. The performer's iconic green Versace dress has been a favorite of many, including Beyoncé, who wore it to the 2003 MTV Movie Awards. Rita Ora wore it to a 2020 New Year's party and Iris Law wore it to a London Fashion Week Party in 2022. Bella Hadid also wore it to a 2022 event. It's no surprise that Aguilera was supporting Burlesque: The Musical as she famously starred in the 2010 film version, Burlesque. In it, she plays Ali, an aspiring singer who moves to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams and begins working at a burlesque lounge run by Tess (played by Cher). This time around, Aguilera is executive producing the stage musical, alongside producers Adam Paulden and Jason Haigh-Ellery, Sue Gilad and Larry Rogowsky, Steven Antin and Clint Culpepper. Some of Aguilera's tunes from the movie are also part of the musical.
