Beyoncé Braves The Pouring Rain At MetLife Stadium In Ultimate ‘Cowboy Carter' Performance
Source: Alex Slitz / Getty As the Cowboy Carter tour bucks on, Beyoncé continues to give her fans exactly what they want (and paid a hefty sum for), even if that means she has to brave the elements to do so. During her fourth night at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for her sold-out Cowboy Carter tour , Beyoncé didn't let a torrential downpour stop her from performing the nearly three-hour show with songs from her Grammy-winning album. Per USA Today , the rain came before the show began at a little after 8 p.m. local time, and the stage was thoroughly wiped down before Beyoncé went on. As she opened the show, Beyoncé addressed the large crowd and thanked them for their decades of support throughout her career. 'Thank you for your love, dedication and for your loyalty over 25 years,' she said. The rain continued throughout the entirety of the concert. Still, she proceeded on, and her fans were right there with her even though their carefully curated fashion ensembles and hairstyles were drenched. However, in true Beyhive fashion, if Beyoncé can deal with an obstacle then they will follow suit. Mama Tina Knowles praised her daughter for being the ultimate performer in an Instagram post. 'Oh my God !!! You cannot talk her out of flying and pouring down rain!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Just had to get on my knees and pray❤️🙏🏽,' she captioned a clip of Bey flying through the air on a giant horseshoe. Towards the end of the May 28 show, she thanked her fans again, but this time it was specifically for braving the rain with her. 'Thank y'all for giving all this energy in the cold and rain. I love you deep deep deep,' she said. Beyoncé will take the stage at MeLife Stadium for a fifth night on Thursday, May 29. Her next tour stop will be across the pond to London, England for a six-night run of shows at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium beginning June 5.

March Madness 2025: No. 2 Michigan State claws back to beat No. 6 Ole Miss and head to Elite Eight Jaden Akins put Michigan State ahead for good with less than two minutes remaining against Ole Miss. (Photo by) (Alex Slitz via Getty Images) Michigan State scrapped its way to the Elite Eight with a 73-70 win over Ole Miss on Friday night. Jaden Akins' runner in the lane with 1:27 to go gave the No. 2 Spartans a two-point advantage as the two teams traded the lead multiple times over the final eight minutes. After No. 6 Ole Miss missed two chances to tie the game, Michigan State's Carson Cooper hit a layup with 40 seconds remaining. The Rebels quickly cut the lead back to two, but were forced to foul to extend the game. Akins drained both his free throws with 27 seconds to go. Advertisement Ole Miss cut the lead to two again, but Tre Holloman buried his two foul shots with 11 seconds to go. It's the first trip to the Elite Eight for the Spartans since 2019 — also the last time Michigan State was a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. In the previous four tournaments, MSU made just one Sweet 16 appearance and wasn't seeded any higher than No. 7.

NCAA Championships Day 1: UVA Wins The 200 Medley Relay With A New Record
ATHENS, GEORGIA - MARCH 23: Gretchen Walsh of the Virginia Cavaliers competes in the Women's 400 ... More Yard Freestyle Relay finals during the Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships held at Ramsey Center on March 23, 2024 in Athens, Georgia. (Photo by Alex Slitz/NCAA Photos via Getty Images) To no one's surprise, on day one of the 2025 Women's Division I NCAA Championships, the University of Virginia women claimed a win in the first relay event, the 200-yard medley. Eyeing their fifth consecutive national title, Virginia posted a time of 1:31.10, taking down their own NCAA, American, and U.S. Open record of 1:31.51 set in 2023. Stacked with three Olympians, Virginia opened the meet with Claire Curzan, Alex Walsh, Gretchen Walsh, and Maxine Parker. Thanks to Curzan's opening lead split of 23.17, the swimmers dominated the race from the start. Gretchen Walsh, maintaining her momentum in the butterfly, put up an impressive split of 20.88. Her time was 0.1 seconds away from the fastest split ever and helped her outsplit 24 of the 26 freestyle legs in the medley relay. 'I'm definitely pleased with the win and the record. That race is notoriously always difficult because it's the first one. But I'm really happy that we got the record because I knew that we would be capable. This is probably the best team UVA has ever seen, and I know that we're going to have way more historic swims like that in the next couple days.' said Walsh Notably, Stanford placed second with a program-record time of 1:33.00. The Cardinals were led by Annika Parkhe, Lucy Thomas, Gigi Johnson, and Torri Huske, who returned to college swimming after a year amid training for the Paris Olympics. In the 800-yard freestyle relay, Stanford's Caroline Bricker (participating in her 3rd 200 free of her collegiate career), Aurora Roghair, Lillie Nordmann, and Kayla Wilson placed first. Posting one of the fastest times in history, 6:46.98, the four Cardinals won the event for the first time since 2022 by nearly five seconds. Virginia trailed behind by posting a time of 6:51.29, following anchor Katie Grimes' performance. Currently, Stanford and Virginia are tied in first place with 74 points, followed by Florida at 60. With head coach Todd DeSorbo's guidance, Virginia women are aiming for their fifth consecutive national title. In the first three wins, the UVA claimed the victories with ease, outscoring the competition by at least 127 points. In 2024 they won the meet by 86.5 points. With four Olympic swimmers in the 2025 squad, the Cavaliers are aiming to become the third-ever team in history to clinch five NCAA titles in a row in women's swimming and diving.
