Beyoncé Surprises Fan With Gender Reveal During ‘Cowboy Carter' Tour Stop
Source: Parkwood Entertainment / Live Nation Beyoncé Surprises Fan With Gender Reveal During 'Cowboy Carter' Tour Stop Beyoncé continues to make magic on her 'Cowboy Carter' Tour — and at her May 28 show at MetLife Stadium, she gave one fan a moment they'll never forget. In the middle of her performance, Queen Bey paused the show to help a concertgoer reveal the gender of their baby. And yes — it was raining, but that didn't stop the Houston native from making the moment special. 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing,' she said, making her way toward the fan through the downpour. 'I gotta do this right.' Clips shared online show Beyoncé wearing a sleek black jumpsuit with a bold American flag design on the legs. S he struggled for a few seconds to open the envelope handed to her by the fan. Laughing with the crowd, she admitted, 'My hands are sticky!' Eventually, she got it open and read the reveal: 'COWBOY.' With a bright smile, she turned to the crowd and announced, 'It's a boy! God bless you. Congratulations! Thank you so much for letting me be part of this.' Playfully, she held onto the torn packaging, adding, 'I'm keeping this.' This wasn't the only personal touch Beyoncé brought to the tour. When she kicked things off at SoFi Stadium in L.A. on April 28, she brought her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi, on stage. 'Cowboy Carter,' her latest project, has already been a cultural reset. The album earned her not only her first Grammy win for Album of the Year, but also took home the trophy for Best Country Album — a historic win for the global superstar.

AMA winners list 2025 is here, Billie, SZA, Eminem, Charli XCX ate and left no crumbs
The 2025 American Music Awards just dropped a cultural bomb and let us tell you, this winners list has more drama than a Lana Del Rey lyric. From emotional upsets to jaw-dropping sweeps, this year's ceremony was a genre-blurring rollercoaster of old faves, new icons, and fashion that screamed main character energy. American Music Awards 2025 Let us start with the queen of haunting melodies, Billie Eilish walked away with the crown for Artist of the Year, edging out a stacked lineup that included Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Chappell Roan. Gracie Abrams, who is literally the soundtrack to every emotionally unstable 20-something's life, snagged New Artist of the Year, proving that soft girls run the game now. Over in Album of the Year territory, Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter lassoed in a nomination but it was Billie again who stayed booked and busy with Hit Me Hard and Soft. Meanwhile, Chappell Roan, who already owns TikTok with Good Luck, Babe!, made her award show presence known, even if she did not take home the big ones. (Justice for Midwest Princess.) Let us not even pretend that the night did not belong to SZA too—she took Favourite Female R&B Artist and R&B Song for Saturn. At this point, her impact on music and astrology is undeniable. But the biggest shocker? Eminem is back on his Rap God throne with Favourite Male Hip-Hop Artist and Hip-Hop Album for The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). Kendrick did bag Hip-Hop Song of the Year though, proving you can still roast your rivals and win awards doing it. Charli XCX's Brat era continued slaying with three nominations, solidifying her as pop's most unbothered innovator. In Latin music, Bad Bunny scooped up multiple nods while Becky G reigned supreme among the female contenders. And let us not ignore rock—Hozier's Too Sweet continues to ruin lives in the best way possible. Oh, and Jennifer Lopez hosted in Vegas like it was her award show, because honestly, it kind of was. The night was electric, extra, and everything in between.
