Beyoncé closed out her New York shows in style with a bold fashion tribute to Jay-Z
Beyoncé closed out her New York shows in style with a bold fashion tribute to Jay-Z Beyoncé Knowles-Carter ended her first U.S. stint with a bang in the New York area, serving fresh looks and paying homage to her husband, Jay-Z. The Grammy-winning singer hit the stage for her fifth show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on May 29. The concert marked Beyoncé's final performance in the New York area — East Rutherford, New Jersey — on her Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She first kicked off her New York area run on May 22. During the show, Beyoncé rocked several new, show-stopping looks, making a fashion statement throughout the evening. One of her notable new looks appeared during her "Alligator Tears" performance. Beyoncé entered the stage in a black cowboy hat, a black furry coat, and black buckled pants paired with a corset. Many fans instantly took note of the ensemble with one saying, " Oh, this new look is the best yet on the entire tour. Once again, I'm gagged." Another head-turner came later in the show, when Beyoncé donned an "NY" cowboy hat, sparkly chaps, a fringed varsity jacket, and a T-shirt featuring a throwback photo of her husband, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, who was born in Brooklyn. The outfit made for a special moment when Beyoncé included a snippet of his 2008 hit "I'm a Hustler" in her set. Beyoncé's tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity, while also putting a spotlight on the Black-owned brand Telfar. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. And her New York closer was no different. As fans know, Beyoncé first released the 27-track project in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. 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. The concerts have been revolutionary shows 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. Her next stop will be in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 16.

'I saw Beyoncé in a downpour and I'd pay more to see it again in the rain'
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour galloped into New Jersey last night and proved that even Mother Nature knows not to mess with the Queen. Performing at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on May 28, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter kicked off her fourth show in the New York area with the force of a thunderstorm. The rain came down, the stage was soaked, but the show? Even better in the downpour, according to fans. The Grammy-hoarding superstar took the stage at a precise 8:09 p.m. ET, because even precipitation can't mess with Beyoncé's devotion to her fans. Crew members diligently wiped down the stage before the show, presumably whispering prayers and polishing it like an altar. But the heavens opened anyway – and so did Bey's bag of tricks. At one point, she soared through the sky on a set piece like a bedazzled rodeo angel. This moment prompted her own mum, Tina Knowles, to post a video and caption it with all the breathless disbelief of a woman watching her child fly through a thunderstorm: 'Oh my God!!! You cannot talk her out of flying in pouring down rain! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Just had to get on my knees and pray ❤️.' The performance marked stop number four in a five-night residency at MetLife as part of her Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, which is quickly becoming less of a tour and more of a full-blown religious movement. Fan Madeline DeFreece, who managed to not only survive the rain, but claimed it added to the show, told Metro: 'This show was meant to be performed in the rain. The way the fabric moved on the contemporary dancers — I could not imagine it any differently.' She continued: 'At one point the cowboys had a Magic Mike moment, thrusting the floor of the stage and immediately I turned to my friend and said, 'We are so privileged to be in such a time and place.' I mean it was hot and provocative in a way that I don't think Beyoncé nor her team planned for.' More Trending Madeline also added: 'I'd pay to see it again, I'd pay even more to see it again in the rain. ' With one final MetLife performance scheduled for May 29, fans are already prepping ponchos and possibly industrial-strength fans to recreate the wind-blown magic of last night's spectacle. Because if there's one thing Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter era has taught us, it's that nothing can stop her. Got a story?
