Beyoncé wraps first leg of 'Cowboy Carter' tour: Celebrities who attended in Los Angeles
Beyoncé-Knowles-Carter has officially completed her first "Cowboy Carter" tour stop in Los Angeles, and the first string of shows brought out some of the biggest names in Hollywood and many notable guests.
The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her tour on April 28 with the first of five shows at SoFi Stadium. The final show took place May 9. The groundbreaking concert proved to be spectacle of many things including fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and cultural commentary.
Of course, Beyoncé's core circle, including her husband, Jay-Z, her mom, Tina Knowles, and her close friend singer Kelly Rowland, were amongst those to attend multiple nights. However, other guests included some of biggest power players in the industry.
Gayle King, Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King and Tyler Perry were among those at opening night. King posted on Instagram about the event, saying "You meet the nicest people at a Beyoncé concert."
Gabrielle Union
Actress Gabrielle Union made sure to post her "Cowboy Carter" Instragram dump as she showed off her western-wear and clips from the show. In the caption she wrote, "this ain't Texas, but Beyoncé made it feel like it."
And she wasn't the only one to share an elaborate slideshow of her experience at the Los Angeles show.
Brie Larson, Reneé Rapp
Actresses Brie Larson and Reneé Rap were all smiles as they posed together at the show. Larson posted to her Instagram saying, "It's a real life boogie and real life hoedown," which are the lyrics to Beyoncé hit single "Texas Hold 'Em."
'Texas Hold 'Em' producer Killah B
"Texas Hold 'Em" producer Killah B also attended the concert, and posted to his Instagram to share his reaction to witnessing the history-making tune.
"Had a great time watching the queen Beyoncé perform Texas Hold 'Em and watching everybody recite it word for word, definitely another dream come true!!"
Jennifer Hudson, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, more
Talk show host Jennifer Hudson, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles and Kevin of the South Korean boy band The Boyz were also among those spotted at the Los Angles leg of the tour.
L.A. firefighter Sheila Kelliher Berkoh
One more notable guest that fans noticed was Sheila Kelliher Berkoh — the L.A. firefighter who presented Beyoncé with the album of the year award at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
It's unclear if Berkoh received backstage access; but she posted on her Instagram about watching the stellar show from the pit section close to the stage.
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. Her next stop will be in Chicago on May 15.

Former Newsboys Singer Michael Tait's Instagram ‘Confession' Explained
Wondering why Michael Tait is making headlines across the Christian music world? The former Newsboys frontman recently admitted to serious misconduct. A years-long investigation had revealed allegations of drug abuse and sexual assault. Michael Tait's 'confession' followed a detailed report involving multiple alleged victims. Here's what we know about the allegations and Michael Tait's 'confession.' On June 10, Michael Tait shared a post on Instagram titled 'My Confession.' He admitted to drug use and unwanted sexual advances on men. His statement followed the release of an investigative article by The Roys Report, which accused Tait of misconduct over a span of two decades. Tait wrote, 'Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true.' In the post, Tait confessed, 'For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way.' He said he made no excuses, adding, 'While I might dispute certain details in the accusations against me, I do not dispute the substance of them.' He also acknowledged, 'I was, for the most part, living two distinctly different lives.' Tait left Newsboys abruptly in January 2025. On June 4, The Roys Report revealed three men accused Tait of assault during tours in 2004, 2010, and 2014. Two said he fondled them after drinking. One alleged non-consensual touching after Tait invited him to share a bed. Newsboys responded in a June 5 statement, writing, 'We are horrified, heartbroken, and angry… we feel as if we and our families have been deceived for the last fifteen years.' K-LOVE and other Christian radio networks paused airplay for Newsboys and DC Talk music after the story broke. Tait wrote that he had entered a treatment facility in Utah earlier this year and had been sober since. 'I accept the consequences of my sin and am committed to continuing the hard work of repentance and healing,' he stated. He concluded by apologizing to those hurt by his actions.

"Picking up my puppy from his first time at daycare," reads layover text in the clip, as the puppy goes on to grab his own leash and drag himself around. "The way he carries his leash like 'I'm ready let's go home!' He had literally the best time and was the best boy," the caption says.

"He was thrilled to see his dad and was running around with his leash in his mouth like he was ready to go home," he said. But this doesn't mean that he didn't enjoy his time at daycare, on the contrary, he loved it, according to his dad. "He had an amazing time [at daycare], the staff said he was the life of the party and made so many new friends, he can't wait to go back!" Moriarty added.

The global pet boarding market is estimated to be worth approximately $20 billion, and projected to grow to $36 billion by 2031. In America, doggy daycare costs an average of $35 per day, while dog boarding services cost an average of $40 per night. The video quickly went viral on TikTok and it has so far received over 679,900 views and 84,300 likes on the platform. One user, Ssjp1107, commented: "This.
