Tina Knowles says didn't scold granddaughter Rumi during the tour; she protected her
Even though Rumi Carter is going to shine on her own, Tina Knowles (and the rest of the family) are going to be her protector. And the matriarch made that clear recently.
During a stop on her "Matriarch" book tour, the businesswoman, designer and mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles set the record straight on whether she seemingly scolded her 7-year-old granddaughter, Rumi Carter, onstage during a stop on Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" Tour.
"People have written all kinds of narratives about it," Knowles said to the event moderator and TV host Gayle King. Like some fans, King noted that the moment was "very funny" with Knowles admitting that the moment reflected "real life."
"You know, Grandmas don't play," Knowles jokingly said.
In the viral clip, some fans thought Mama Knowles may have given Rumi a grandma's glare. However, Knowles cleared up any misperceptions.
"It was just that she was reaching for the mic because she wanted to say something, and I realized that, and she was pulling, and I was like, 'Oh God, that's all that needs to happen, is the mic hits her in the face."
Knowles kicked off her nine-city book tour, 'Matriarch: An Evening with Tina Knowles, Family and Friends," on April 30 at the MGM National Harbor Hotel and Casino in the Washington D.C. area.
Of course, Beyoncé is currently performing in the New York area on the third leg of her Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, a spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and political commentary. She first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list.
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 currently on her Cowboy Carter tour, which has been making headlines for breaking all kinds of records and generally just being really good. But that's not what people are currently talking about. They're talking about this video where Beyoncé seemingly causes literal rainfall to stop. More than 3 million people have watched it! In the video, originally posted by TikTok user @heyydein, Beyoncé was standing on stage performing "Just For Fun" with Willie Jones. Rain was pouring down when Beyoncé suddenly lifted her hands, and all of a sudden, it stopped. People couldn't believe it. "OMG how does the rain stop the second she raises her hands at the end of the song, and then start again when she lowers them? Mother is so powerful😭," one X user wrote. "She choreographed the rain," another mused. Some said how she did it. People also made jokes. Wow, Beyoncé, you never fail to amaze me.

Taylor Swift got what she wanted. So what do ‘Taylor's Versions' mean now?
I have been to some very loud concerts. Nothing compares to what I witnessed at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Aug. 9, 2023, when I attended Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. 'Here we are on the last night of the U.S. leg of the Eras Tour, in the eighth month of the year on the ninth day of the month,' Swift told the 70,000-plus people in the audience near the end of the 3½-hour show. 'There's something that I've been planning for a really, really, really, ridiculously embarrassingly long time. And I think instead of just telling you about it, I think I'll just sort of show you.'

Scheffler surges into Memorial lead on moving day
Scottie Scheffler has produced his best on a tough day at Muirfield Village, opening with 13 straight pars and then pouring it on at the end for a four-under 68 that gave him a one-shot lead over Ben Griffin after three rounds at the Memorial. Scheffler birdied four of his last five holes and took the lead when Griffin missed a three-foot par putt on the 18th. At stake for Scheffler is a chance to win for the third time in his last four tournaments and join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners at the Memorial. "I don't know what the scoring average was today, but I was definitely proud of the way I finished and it was really challenging," Scheffler said. "Through 13 holes, I felt like I was playing really good and I was only even par. Just a hard course." Here comes Scottie ...The 15-time TOUR winner grabs the co-lead after this birdie on the last @MemorialGolf. — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 31, 2025 Scheffler, the only player to break par all three rounds, is at eight-under 208. Griffin, who won last week at Colonial, made five birdies and five bogeys over his last 13 holes. Scheffler was six shots behind his fellow American at one point and then it all changed so quickly. Griffin, who became the only player this week to reach 10-under par when he ran off three straight birdies, gave it all back with four straight bogeys. Scheffler was lurking, as always. The world No.1 has an uncanny knack of hanging around and winding up with the low score by the end of the day. This was no exception. "I did see that Ben got to 10 under, but it's not going to change my play in the middle of a Saturday," Scheffler, who has won the last eight times when holding the 54-hole lead, added. "This golf course is really challenging and no lead's safe around this place. I knew if I kept going and played a decent round, I would be in somewhat of a position to chase him down tomorrow." Nick Taylor (74) wound up three shots behind and for that he was thankful at the end. The Canadian went into the water and made double bogey on the diabolical par-3 12th, followed that with a bogey and was sliding out of contention. And then he holed out from fairway for eagle at the 14th, birdied the next hole and played that four-stretch in even par. View this post on Instagram A post shared by PGA TOUR (@pgatour) The best round belonged to Austrian Sepp Straka, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour this year. He posted a 66 as the leaders were just getting started and is tied-fourth at three under with Jordan Spieth (72) and Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley (68). Adam Scott (73) is five over and the leading Australian while compatriot Min Woo Lee (76) is two shots further back.
