The Grammy-winning singer performed her fifth and final show on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour at SoFi Stadium on May 9. The show kicked off around 8:03p.m. PT — the earliest time yet — as Beyoncé entered to a packed crowd. Before the night began, Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment company told fans to arrive early. In a story shared to Instagram, the company wrote, "Please get to SoFi Stadium early tonight. The buckin' begins on stage at 7:45 p.m." The May 9th show proved to be another groundbreaking spectacle, blending fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and politics. There are few standout moments that have the Beyhive buzzing about Beyoncé's final Los Angeles performance. Rumi Carter sings along with Beyoncé to 'Dangerously in Love' Beyoncé's 7-year-old daughter, Rumi Carter, has been a highlight of the tour. She first stole the hearts of fans with her vibrant stage presence, excitedly waving at the crowd as Beyoncé performed 'Protector.'

At the final show, she delivered another adorable moment, singing the lyrics alongside her mom as she sang her 2003 song 'Dangerously in Love."

One unexpected fan obsession has been the stairs Beyoncé descends before performing her song 'I'm That Girl.'

Blue Ivy chooses rodeo queen ahead of final show A fun tradition that's taken shape ahead of Beyoncé's shows is her publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, selecting the best-dressed fan and crowning them 'rodeo queen' for their standout western-inspired outfit. Before the final show kicked off, Schure surprised the crowd by announcing that this time, the winner was chosen by none other than Blue Ivy Carter herself. Of course, Beyoncé debuted her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. A total of five shows took place on the SoFi Stadium stage on April 28, May 1, May 4, May 7 and May 9. As fans know, Beyoncé first released the 27-track project in March 2024.

Beyonce sent cease-and-desist letter to drop certain visuals from Cowboy Carter tour, Entertainment News
Beyonce has been sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding she drop some of the visuals from her Cowboy Carter tour. The Texas Hold 'Em hitmaker's production company Parkwood Entertainment was sent the legal warning by James Dolan's Sphere Entertainment Group (SEG) objecting to footage using their Las Vegas Sphere venue without permission. A number of fans posted footage online from Beyonce's first concerts in Los Angeles last week, which featured a giant version of the 43-year-old megastar striding through Las Vegas, before picking up a computer-generated version of the distinctive venue and juggling it between her hands, leading to the company taking action. The letter, which was obtained by the New York Post newspaper, read: "Beyonce — many orders of magnitude larger than the Sphere venue — leans over, picks up the venue, and looms over it." Sphere accused Beyonce of "impermissible use and violation" of the company's intellectual property rights, which "has resulted in significant speculation that Beyonce will end her tour with a Sphere residency." The letter added: "SEG was never asked and the prominent appearance and manipulation of SEG's Sphere venue in the video is unauthorised." Beyonce — who has never visited the venue — has been given a deadline of Monday (May 5) to stop using the imagery in her videos, otherwise the company "reserves all rights to take further action as SEG deems appropriate without notice." In addition, Parkwood were ordered in the letter to "cease and desist from using the Sphere venue in the video immediately — in addition to refraining from using this imagery on any merchandise, promotional or marketing materials, or in tour movies." It was claimed last year that the former Destiny's Child singer had been in talks for months about a residency at the Sphere. However, negotiations came to a halt over Beyonce's request the venue close for a two-week period so she could rehearse. Sources told the New York Post at the time such a closure would be a "significant revenue hit", as the 20,000-seat venue was showing the immersive film Postcards from Earth four times a day, with ticket prices starting at US$104 (S$134). And Beyonce's team were said to be asking for around US$10 million to produce her high-tech stage show, roughly the same amount the Sphere paid U2 for their residency. She was believed to have moved on to discussions with rivals MGM about a possible residency of 100 shows over a four-year period. A Sphere spokesperson said at the time: "We do not comment on any artists performing at Sphere except for those who have been announced." [[nid:712698]]

Beyoncé Faces Cease-and-Desist Over Controversial Viral Footage: Details Inside
Last Updated: Beyoncé got a cease-and-desist from MSG chief James Dolan over imagery in her Cowboy Carter tour, involving a scene with the Las Vegas Sphere. Beyoncé has landed in hot water during her Cowboy Carter tour, after receiving a cease-and-desist letter over her recent performances. The singer kicked off the much-anticipated country-themed tour in Los Angeles last week, but things took a turn when Madison Square Garden chief James Dolan sent her a sharply worded letter. His concern was an imagery used during her first two shows, which he claims raised serious issues. The 32-time Grammy winner was warned in the court filing to remove a specific scene from her performances, one where she's seen grabbing the Las Vegas Sphere and playfully interacting with it. The imagery, according to the filing, was flagged as problematic and prompted the cease-and-desist demand. In the viral clip, Beyoncé is seen strutting through Las Vegas in full cowboy gear, casually handling the Sphere like a basketball. The playful stunt not only sparked massive online buzz but also fueled speculation that the superstar might be eyeing a residency at the iconic Sphere arena. No one talking about why she picked up the sphere in vegas 🫠🥴 something gonna happen have mercy ???????? — 🌾🪕???? ★ Beyoncé's Banjo ★ ???? 🪕🌾 (@Beysbanjo) May 1, 2025 The Sphere Entertainment Group (SEG) has hit Beyoncé's production firm, Parkwood Entertainment, with a lawsuit, accusing them of 'impermissible use and violation" of intellectual property rights. In the cease-and-desist letter, lawyer Kathleen McCarthy described the scene where Beyoncé, 'many orders of magnitude larger than the Sphere venue," leans over, picks up the venue, and looms over it. McCarthy said that SEG was never asked for permission, and the video's prominent use of the Sphere is unauthorised. The legal team also pointed out that Parkwood Entertainment never sought approval. The corporation has been ordered to stop using the Sphere venue in the video immediately. Additionally, they've been directed to refrain from incorporating the imagery into any merchandise, promotional materials, marketing campaigns, or tour films. First Published:
