Beyonce already smashing records with Cowboy Carter Tour earnings
Beyonce has started her 'Cowboy Carter Tour' with a record setting $55.7 million gross.
The 'Crazy In Love' hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on May 9, pulled in well over $50 million with 217,000 tickets sold.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the Los Angeles run is the "biggest reported single-venue engagement" of the year so far.
It's also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, beaten only by U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas across 2023 and 2024, Harry Styles at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2022, and Take That's Wembley Stadium run in 2011.
It's also the highest-grossing single-venue engagement in history by a female artist.
Beyonce started her tour on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7 and 9, pulling in an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show.
With three performances as SoFi in 2023, her eight gigs in total is more than any other artist in the venue's five-year history.
On the opening night of the SoFi run, the Grammy Award winner was joined onstage by her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter.
Blue Ivy, 13, danced with her famous mother during her performance of 'America Has A Problem'.
Later on, it was time for Beyoncé and Jay-Z's seven-year-old, Rumi Carter, to make her onstage debut.
As Beyoncé belted out the moving ballad 'Protector', Rumi and her big sister stood with her under the spotlight.
Following the performance, pictures of Beyoncé and her three children - also including Rumi's twin brother Sir - appeared on a big screen behind her.
Blue Ivy was part of the backup dance troupe for her superstar mom on her 2023 'Renaissance Tour'.
She also joined her mother onstage for her NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show in 2024.
The talented teenager has followed in her famous parents' footsteps and voiced Kiara in the 2024 Disney film 'Mufasa: The Lion King'.

Meghan reveals ‘hardest part' of new job and how Prince Harry helps
IN LONDON Meghan has opened up about her struggles as a working mother, crediting Prince Harry with helping her keep the 'balance' in their lives. In a bonus episode of her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, released on Tuesday, the Duchess of Sussex told guest Tina Knowles (AKA Beyoncé's mum), that keeping everything in check while working towards a goal is 'one of the hardest lessons' to earn. Meghan went on to detail some of her strategies for slowing down and being present in her life, including simply '[taking] a minute to breathe' and 'having a date night'. She added: '[Harry and I] have a date night tonight.' While Meghan didn't elaborate on their plans, it comes just a few weeks after the pair was spotted looking cosy at Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour stop in Los Angeles. She shared an album of pictures on Instagram afterwards, writing: 'About last night …. Thank you Beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love.' The parents-of-two also celebrated their seven-year wedding anniversary on May 19, with Meghan posting a series of never-before-seen shots online. Her latest podcast episode follows a new report that Meghan extended an invitation to country singer Dolly Parton to appear on her Netflix series but was turned down. The first season of the Duchess of Sussex's show, With Love, Meghan, was released in March and featured eight episodes, each with different guests. According to royal and entertainment commentator Kinsey Schofield, the country singer's team was 'livid' at the request. 'Because no, they don't want to risk Dolly's reputation Q score [and] her popularity by associating with Meghan Markle,' she alleged in a recent podcast episode of The Nerve with Maureen Callahan. 'They knew that this ask was just to give Meghan Markle credibility in this lifestyle space, a space that Dolly does have a lot of credibility in. 'Dolly is not only incredibly popular and loved by the general public, but she also is somebody who can float around within these different places. 'Her team really feels like Meghan was trying to take advantage of her popularity.'

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Kanye West ‘dreams' of apologising to Jay-Z
The controversial artist took to X to say that he often thinks about making amends. "All my dreams have been about apologising to Jay-Z.'

"Wait, has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce's younger kids?" he wrote in a post. "No, like, literally, and this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing."

Tina Knowles opens up on the 'difficulties' of working with Beyonce
Tina Knowles has warned of the "difficulties" that come from parents and children going into business together. The 71-year-old matriarch is mother to Beyonce and Solange, and has admitted that there would often be "disagreements" as she helped launch them both into the entertainment industry. Speaking on the 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast, she told Meghan, Duchess of Sussex: "There are difficulties sometimes because if you're dealing with your child or you're dealing with your mother, you know, you have disagreements. "I'm the one that always caves. I've been like that since I was young. If my kids are mad at me, I can't take it. I'll apologise." Prior to Beyonce's fame, Tina worked as a hairdresser and owned a salon in Texas, but it was only in 2024 that she managed to persuade the 'Single Ladies' hitmaker to co-found the haircare brand Cécred with her. She said: "It has been a dream of mine forever and Beyonce has been a big dream of hers, so we have talked about it for years and years and years but she was just not interested in pursuing another business because in her younger years she completely focused on her singing and her skills and all of that. It took some convincing. ~ "I was like 'I'll work on it, we can work on it together...' and finally she said 'Okay, we can start on it'. I didn't want to do it by myself. I just felt like at this point in my life, I didn't want to work that hard for once. I wound up working hard anyway but it's been a labour of love. [Beyonce] is on the stage with hot lights and she wears wigs a lot and she has managed to keep her hair beautiful and healthy, but that is not an easy task when you're in show business!"
