Beyoncé fans turn MetLife parking lot into a 'Cowboy Carter' tailgate on night two
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter brought her "Cowboy Carter" tour to New York for night two, and some fans celebrated even before the concert began — tailgating in the parking lot and getting hyped for the show.
The Grammy-winning singer performed her second show on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at MetLife Stadium on May 24.
Before the show, business owner and Beyhive member Kureé Sheard hosted her first-ever Beyoncé concert tailgate. Fresh off going viral for her Cowboy Carter-inspired sashes, the preshow party was a celebration for fans who purchased her now-iconic accessories.
"It's really twofold. We wanted to do this because we wanted to just give back to our community who have supported us throughout this entire process of going mega-viral with these sashes. We wanted to just get boots on the ground — literally," said Sheard. "And then also, we just wanted it to be like a party. I always see tailgates for other artists."
Fans showed up in full cowboy core attire ahead of Saturday's show. The tailgate series will continue throughout Beyoncé's stop in New Jersey from 4 p.m. ET until she kicks off the show at 7 p.m.
Sheard says the tailgate includes everything from games, giveaways and Beyoncé trivia to music, food, fashion, fun and fan confessionals. At the core there's "lots of fun, games and community components that we're really excited about," she added.
Beyoncé is set to perform on the same stage for a total of five nights in the New York area. The remaining shows will take place May 25, 28 and 29.
Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. She performed a total of five shows there, putting on a revolutionary show filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary.
The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. Beyoncé has already made history with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.

Reflecting on the exhibition, Scharf shares, 'We've engineered a universe that brings complex realities and emotions together into one central experience.'
