Beyoncé fans turn Atlanta into 'Cowboy Carter' central with events during her tour stop
ATLANTA – Beyoncé Knowles-Carter brought her "Cowboy Carter" tour to Atlanta, and fans made sure it was more than just a concert, turning the occasion into a weeklong cultural experience. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her first concert at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta July 10, marking her first of four shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. And throughout the week, the city buzzed with celebrations and fan-hosted events to mark the tour stop. Atlanta native Deron Jordan, and self-proclaimed King of the Beyhive, has been hosting Beyoncé related events since 2018, and he made sure Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" era was no different. He collaborated with other Beyhive influencers to help organize fan-led events this time around. "Atlanta got something special with four shows across five days. I saw that as a moment to create something bigger than just the concerts. I wanted fans to experience the era, not just the performance. So I put together a lineup of events for every member of the Beyhive," says Jordan. "I wanted people to make memories that would last beyond the stadium." Those events included two brunches, a celebration dubbed The Hive Hoedown, a Beyhive choir rehearsal where fans sang and dances all of Beyoncé's hits, and a Beyoncé pop-up selfie museum. A post shared by Hot 107.9 Atlanta (@hot1079atl) "For me, it has always been about community," Jordan said, adding he wanted to give Beyoncé's core fans "a safe space where they can be themselves, connect, and celebrate Beyoncé together." "'Cowboy Carter' is about legacy, storytelling and reclaiming identity. I wanted the events to reflect that and to feel like a continuation of her message," Jordan said. Each event featured music, dancing and vendors, including Darrelle Jones, who has been traveling to each tour stop and selling hand-held fans. "When you think about line dance and you think about community – all of us being in sync, being together – and with how crazy the world is right now, we just need the joy. We need to come together, dance, have fun. And so if I could be a part of that by showing my creativity and selling fans and clacking them with some people, then I'm all for it," Jones said. And these events certainly passed the vibe check, filled with community, connection and infectious energy that radiated throughout each one. "The entire weekend is culture," said fan B Thompson while attending the The Hive Hoedown and Beyhive choir rehearsal July 12 at Atlanta's Believe Music Hall. "This entire weekend has been about celebrating Black culture and taking back what we own from the beginning." And other attendees like Robin Bonney, who traveled from Montgomery, Alabama, seemed to agree. Bonney went to Beyoncé's third "Cowboy Carter" concert in London but says "I had to see her a second time." She added, "It was phenomenal, but to come to Atlanta and to be of the community and the vibes is so much different. I had to be here, and it exceeded my expectations. Coming to events like this, everything was very inclusive, it was very friendly and nobody is left behind." Jordan puts it plainly, "Beyoncé loves Atlanta, and we love her right back. It was important for this city to show up and celebrate her properly." Meanwhile, William Gilmour called the vibes of entire the week "immaculate." Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with a 39-song set list. Her shows – filled with family, fashion and different music genres – will end in Las Vegas July 25 and July 26. "By the time the tour wraps up this month, I will have attended 10 shows in five cities. Every single one has been unforgettable, and each city brought a different kind of energy," says Jordan. With the tour approaching its end, fans in Atlanta are feeling the bittersweet reality. "It's definitely a mix of emotions. On one hand, I'm sad, because when the tour ends, Beyoncé usually goes quiet. But I also know that when she goes quiet, she is working on something major," Jordan says. Bonney echoed the same sentiments, saying, "I'm so hurt that it's ending. It's not going to be the same but I'm going to be looking forward to what she has for Act III, 'cause baby, Act II is the one for the books."

Unreleased Beyoncé music stolen during 'Cowboy Carter' tour
LOS ANGELES, July 15, (AP): Unreleased music by Beyoncé along with footage, show plans and concert set lists were stolen from a car in Atlanta rented by the singer's choreographer and one of her dancers, according to a police incident report. The theft of the materials, stored on five thumb drives, happened on July 8, two days before Beyoncé began a four-day residency at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Beyoncé was set to take the stage Monday evening for her last night in the city. The Atlanta Police Department said in a news release Monday it has secured an arrest warrant for a suspect whose identity was withheld. Two MacBook laptops, Apple headphones, as well as luxury clothing and accessories were also reported stolen, according to the incident report. Beyoncé's choreographer, Christopher Grant, and dancer Diandre Blue told police they parked their rental car, a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer, at a food hall in the city at about 8:09 p.m. The pair returned to the car just after 9 p.m. to discover the trunk window had been damaged and two suitcases had been taken. Grant told officers that "he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyonce,' the police incident report stated. The report identifies a possible suspect vehicle as a 2025 red Hyundai Elantra. Responding officers were able to identify "light prints' at the scene, and security cameras in the parking lot captured the incident, according to the report. Officers canvassed an area where the stolen laptop and headphones were tracked by using the devices' location services, the report stated. Beyoncé kicked off her highly-anticipated tour in late April, taking her Grammy-winning album, "Cowboy Carter,' to stadiums in the U.S. and Europe. The singer will end her tour with two Las Vegas nights in late July.
