Beyoncé changes set list for second 'Cowboy Carter' show, adding throwback hits
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter kept the heat coming during her second show in Los Angeles, switching up her set list and performing some of her most beloved throwback hits.
The Grammy-winning singer took the stage at SoFi Stadium for a second night on May 1, and not only did she perform songs from her "Renaissance" album, as she did during her debut show, but she moved some songs around and added more tunes to her massive set list.
Beyoncé performed "Irreplaceable" (2006), "If I were A Boy" (2008), "Single Ladies" (2008) and "Love on Top" (2011). And the crowd seemed pleasantly surprised as they belted the songs along with Beyoncé. The excitement was also prevalent online as fans watched from afar.

One fan on X wrote, "I'm loving this new setlist Beyoncé!!" Another said, "Beyonce's switch up of the Cowboy Carter Tour changes the game, it shows you how you can reorder your setlist, add and remove songs here and there by surprise, without compromising the vision and still sticking to a narrative…INSANITY IM GAGGED."

During Thursday's show, Beyoncé also peformed songs in a different order than the first night. Most notably, she performed her hit songs, "Riiverdance," "II Hands II Heaven" and "Tyrant" back to back. And of course, fans have already been theorizing on how the set list might change in different cities.
Toward the end of her set, she thanked the crowd.
"Thank you to my Beyhive for always loving me and always protecting me," she said.
Los Angeles is the first city on Beyoncé's 32-stadium "Cowboy Carter"Tour, which kicked off April 28. Fans from all over the world traveled to witness Beyoncé's first shows, which were filled with family, politics, soaring vocals, incredible costumes and masterful dancing.
The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. She's set to make history with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.

‘To the North's' Mihai Mincan Talks ECAM Forum Bound Coming-of-Age Mystery ‘Milk Teeth,' Sound Designed by Oscar-Winner Nicolas Becker (EXCLUSIVE)
One of the hottest works in progress at ECAM Forum's second co-production market, unspooling June 10-13 in Madrid, the Romanian coming-of-age mystery/fantasy drama 'Milk Teeth' reunites filmmaker Mihai Mincan with much the same team of his calling card debut 'To the North' which bowed at Venice Orizzonti 2022: Oscar-winning sound designer Nicolas Becker ('Sound of Metal'), cinematographer George Chiper-Lillemark ('Immaculate'), and editor Dragos Apetri ('Animal'). Also on board are four of 'To the North' production partners: Romania's deFilm, France's Remora Films, Greece's StudioBauhaus, Bulgaria Screening Emotions, joined by Denmark's Oscar-nominated producer Monica Hellström ('Flee') of Ström Films. More from Variety Madrid's ECAM Forum Ups International Scope With 23 Feature Projects for Second Edition Bertrand Bonello to Be Honored at Madrid's Second ECAM Forum Co-Pro Showcase (EXCLUSIVE) Spain's ECAM Forum and Conecta Fiction & Entertainment Unite for International Collaboration The story, penned by Mincan, is again inspired by true events that serve as starting point for the helmer to grapple with painful memories of Romania's post-communist era, when dreams of a better life after the Romanian Revolution of December 1989 turned into disillusion. Here, the events are set in the final days of Ceausescu's Romania. The central character Maria, 10, becomes the last witness to her sister's mysterious disappearance and must find the courage to grow up in a collapsing world. The idea for the pic first emerged about seven years ago when he read about the tragic case of the kidnapping in 1989 of a little girl in Romania, Mincan said. What intrigued him were a few lines about the sister of the missing girl from the police, describing her as 'the mute'. 'That triggered something in me,' said the director who gradually incorporated into the script elements of his own experience of growing up in a society where people felt metaphorically speaking 'mute' or without a voice of their own. 'We basically did what we were told as we felt there was no foreseeable future for our country and for us Romanians,' said the director who was Maria's age in 1989' ''Milk Teeth' is a powerful allegory of Romania's transition between the communist era and the promise of a new society after the fall of communism in 1989,' added deFilm's Iona Lascār who produces alongside Radu Stancu. 'By representing darkness and void as visual symbolic elements, the film portrays the uncertainty and fear experienced during this period.' Visually, Mincan said the pic will borrow from two different traditions of coming-of-age dramas: on one hand, the social realistic tradition of Ken Loach ('Kes'), Lynne Ramsay ('Ratcatcher') or Sean Baker ('The Florida Project') and on the other the blurring of reality and fantasy in Carlos Saura's 'Cria Cuervos.'Anti-nostalgia 'When I saw 'Cria Cuervos,' I became obsessed with it and Saura's vision of childhood,' the helmer confessed. 'For me, childhood is a period of great confusion, where you don't have a will of your own. That's why I wanted to make an anti-nostalgia film, in which a little girl struggles to make sense of the world around her after her sister goes missing. The story therefore turns less and less linear and progresses into a vague dimension.' To convey the sense of confusion felt by Maria, Mincan said the camera work from George Chiper-Lillemark is mostly raw hand-held, while the sound – currently being designed by expert Nicolas Becker – will 'create a balance between the world outside the character, where you can hear things in the distance, and a sensation of pure silence and empty spaces.' 'Romania in 1989 was that way – very very quiet. There were few cars, a 10 p.m. curfew which meant people would spend a lot of time in their flats, with electricity cuts, TV programs perhaps only two hours a day,' recalled the director. In the starring roles as Maria is the young newcomer Emma Mogos, cast opposite professional actors Marina Palii ('Manor House') and Igor Babiac who play Maria's mother and father. 'I was looking for actors who would remind me of my own parents at the time, face-wise,' said €2.3 million ($2.6 million) project, recipient of the 2023 Torino Film Lab Production Award, was backed by the five co-production countries' national film centres, in association with Arte Kino, ERT in Greece, TVR, Avanpost Media and Radio Romania. Lascār said she is thrilled to be part of ECAM Forum's 'Last Push' section with 'Milk Teeth.' 'I've worked in film for 15 years, but this is my first time presenting a work in progress project in Spain. I'm looking forward to chatting with local producers and cooking up some great collaborations.' Most recently attached as minority co-producers on the Cannes Un Certain Regard entry 'I Only Rest in the Storm' by Portuguese helmer Pedro Pinho, deFilm's Lascār and Stancu are currently negotiating sales and distribution on the feature due to premiere later this year. A total of eight Spanish and international films in post-production will be pitched at ECAM Forum, next to 15 films in development, 11 shorts and 13 series in development.

Sabrina Carpenter to release new song 'Manchild' later this week
New music is coming from Sabrina Carpenter. After the Grammy winner shared a video teaser on social media Monday, she confirmed Tuesday that she would be releasing a new song, titled "Manchild." The new song is set to be released Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. "This one's about you!!" Carpenter wrote in the caption of an Instagram post Tuesday. The post included an image of the singer hitchhiking along what appears to be a desert highway. A 7-inch vinyl version of the song is available for preorder now. A photo of the vinyl reveals that the song is produced by Jack Antonoff, one of Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet" collaborators. The flip side of the vinyl bears the phrase "Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man." Ahead of the song reveal, fans noticed billboards popping up that seemingly contained lyrics for the new song. The billboards, credited to SC Entertainment, feature the words "Hey Men," "Amen" and "I Swear They Choose Me I'm Not Choosing Them." Another billboard included the word "Manchild," which fans correctly assumed would be the title of the song. As some fans noted, the "Manchild" rollout bears similarities to the debut of Carpenter's hit song "Espresso" in April 2024, just before she performed at Coachella. Carpenter will be performing at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona on Friday. "Manchild" comes nearly a year after Carpenter released her Grammy-nominated album "Short n' Sweet." The album included "Espresso," as well as the songs "Please Please Please" and "Bed Chem."
