Selena Gomez Joins The Cowboy Carter Crew At Beyoncé Concert
Selena Gomez / HOUSTON, TEXAS – DECEMBER 25: Beyoncé performs during the halftime show for the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans, 2024 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by) Selena Gomez spent this past Sunday appreciating Beyoncé as she attended the Cowboy Carter tour's New Jersey show. The Only Murders in the Building star posted a low-key black-and-white Instagram Story wearing a star-covered cowboy hat, with the words 'Cowboy Carter' around the brim. While she kept the rest of her look simple with a black tee, chunky gold hoops, and a red lip, her marquise-cut engagement ring from fiancé Benny Blanco sparkled front and centre. Keeping it short and sweet, she captioned the photo, 'To the queen B we praise.' Selena Gomez / Image: @selenagomez Gomez is unmistakably not a new fan of the iconic 'Formation' singer, as in 2023, she attended the Renaissance tour—twice! Once in Los Angeles with Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, and a second time in Paris with Emelia Pérez co-star Edgar Ramírez. Her signature chunky gold hoop earrings made an appearance at both shows, paired with a simple white tank top in Los Angeles, and dressed up with a black leather trench coat and pumps in Paris. NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MARCH 29: Selena Gomez celebrates the launch of Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Collection on March 29, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by) The Rare Beauty founder is decidedly in great company. Beyoncé's tours have become a regular celebrity hot spot, with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry having attended the tour's Los Angeles stop only a few weeks ago. Like Gomez, the pair embraced the Western aesthetic of this Beyoncé era with complementary Western outfits. Many other stars have been spotted attending the Cowboy Carter tour, including Oprah Winfrey, Lizzo, Reneé Rapp, Brie Larson and more. Whether in a VIP box with refreshments or a seat in the nosebleeds, it seems no one can resist the call of a live sing-along with the queen herself.

Review: After weather clears, Beyoncé kicks up joyous ‘Cowboy Carter' storm
Turns out one thing remains outside of Beyoncé's superhuman control: The weather. Threats of severe storms that failed to fully materialize in the South Loop, apart from wind and rain, delayed the start of the first of the megastar's three-night residency Thursday at a capacity Soldier Field. Beyoncé made the wait worthwhile, though fans had a right to feel frustrated. The National Weather Service announced a tornado watch through 10 p.m. for the Chicago area. A little before 6 p.m., Soldier Field announced on social media that the concert would be delayed. 'The COWBOY CARTER TOUR show at Soldier Field tonight will not begin before 9pm,' the venue posted in part on X. 'We're monitoring the weather and will continue to share updates here.' Ticketholders sheltered in concourses and adjacent areas. Attendees with floor access waited in a separate zone. No updates were delivered, though, and despite local weather seemingly clearing by 8:30 p.m., concert-goers weren't permitted into sections until shortly after 9 p.m. Beyoncé took the stage at 10:15, more than three hours after the originally expected 7 p.m. start. The festivities ended at 1 a.m. the next morning. Fortunately, that was the only hiccup associated with the marathon 165-minute show. At just the second city of her 'Cowboy Carter Tour' after opening outside of Los Angeles, Beyoncé in Chicago proved a maverick who refused to be limited by a single definition, style or expectation. She packed the spectacle with big props, big routines and bigger concepts. Outwardly, the eight-act event came across as a largely joyous celebration — the unique vision of a 43-year-old singer-songwriter armed with a boundless imagination, a spectacular voice and the tireless work ethic to make everything, from complex choreography to sleek transitions, appear naturally fit into a seamless whole. Akin to the way her 2023 'Renaissance Tour' contained deep truths about Black positivity and experience, the country and western motifs of her current outing represented far more than a casual foray into her Texas and Louisiana roots. Beyoncé challenged assumptions about identity, heritage and music. She fearlessly tackled meanings, symbolism and narratives surrounding America. Though she never uttered a political remark during the concert, the subtext of her messages were abundantly clear. Ditto her desire to force people to think, question and, ultimately, feel comfortable with who they are as human beings. Leading with 'Ameriican Requiem,' she said more in the first half hour of the concert than many artists manage in a career. Beyoncé immediately picked a hill to stand on, and stand tall and for something she did, issuing potent statements about courage, sacrifice and repossession. 'Blackbiird,' a silky cover of The Beatles song dedicated to Black innovators who helped pave the path she trod, preceded a bracing rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' Her acrobatic voice mirrored the dive-bomb guitar patterns Jimi Hendrix famously generated for his live version at Woodstock in 1969. With a resistant vibe firmly established, Beyoncé and company launched into 'Freedom,' the desperate snarl of her voice and the punctuating slam of the marching drums bordering on mosh-pit intensity. The reclamation of America, and the revenge of Beyoncé, reached fever pitch with the subsequent 'Ya Ya.' Savage and fierce, melodic and contagious, the song's architecture suggested genre is little else than a construct while its words smartly addressed the nation's sordid past. 'History can't be erased,' Beyoncé sang, the line bearing extraordinary significance amid the past few months of government overreach and censorship. The insistent piece ended with a piano on fire and Beyoncé yodeling, because why not? Beyoncé supported the most barbed material with evocative footage projected on a massive video wall. A woman with her face concealed by a veil, positioned in front of a ripped American flag. Black-and-white clips of Black Americans toiling in the military and dead-end jobs. Reels of legends like Chuck Berry, Big Maybelle, James Brown, Tina Turner, Frankie Beverly and Nina Simone. Provocative text declarations such as 'Never Ask Permission for Something That Already Belongs to You.' That advice extended to Beyoncé's ambitious approach to musical styles. R&B, country, surf, pop, rock 'n' roll, blues, gospel, folk, boogie-woogie, funk, Creole: All on display, their DNA closely matched in songs that stitched together different threads into colorful quilts linked by acoustic guitars, peppy horns, silvery fiddles, warm harmonies and watertight rhythms. In probing what the term 'country' illustrates from a multitude of perspectives, Beyoncé created what should be considered a New Americana. She even convincingly reconceptualized several club-ready 'Renaissance' tracks with down-home accents that updated the original arrangements with finer textures and jazz dynamics. And she played at minimum a segment of every full track from 'Cowboy Carter.' A brilliant nine-piece band, vocal trio and sizeable dance ensemble adorned in all sorts of Western wear aided her on a cracking assembly of rootsy ballads, clip-clopping hoedowns, juke-joint jigs and Southern-flavored do-si-dos that bettered their studio counterparts. Riding a mechanical bull during the slinky, double-entendre 'Tyrant.' Climbing in a mock convertible and soaring above the crowd for '16 Carriages.' Materializing atop a semi-truck decorated with metal steer horns during the swing-your-partner-round energy of 'Texas Hold 'Em.' Getting carried off by a cotillion of denim-clad men toward the conclusion of the lusty 'Levii's Jeans.' Beyoncé had a blast, and included two of her daughters in the commotion. Blue Ivy participated in the dance crew. The younger Rumi joined Mom and gave her an adorable bear hug during the tender 'Protector.' True to form, Beyoncé slayed in all seven of her outfits, impressing with her range of chaps and a pair of white cowboy boots emblazoned with a reference to Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin.'' No detail was too small. A pop-up beauty salon, an illuminated horseshoe, robotic drink server and lip-shaped sofa added to the sensory bonanza. Similarly, when she reprised the dance-party disco and ballroom culture of her preceding 'Renaissance' tour on three bounce-laden songs, the vocalist repurposed a few futuristic-leaning devices. That stretch, and a brief run through snippets of earlier hits — the step-to-the-left instructions of 'Irreplaceable' sounded particularly apropos on this evening — aside, Beyoncé focused on her most recent material. She dug her proverbial heels into all the roles. Quick-draw shooter ('Spaghettii'). Sexual advocate ('Desert Eagle'). Steadfast protector ('Bodyguard'). Devoted mate ('Alliigator Tears'). Drifter who sees God as a woman ('Just for Fun'). Further dissolving restrictions, she transformed into a self-described 400 Foot Cowboy, cigar-smoking desperado and horseback-riding avenger in video interludes that blended humor and self-empowerment. As well as a knowledge of classic Westerns and oater tropes. Beyoncé is in town for 3 shows at Chicago's Soldier Field for her Cowboy Carter tour. Here's what to use of her elegant mezzo-soprano and mile-wide smile indicated otherwise, yet her turns as an admonishing, vengeant rebel placed her in a whole other universe. Her threatening interpretation of Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' and theatrical, blood-chilling performance of the icy murder ballad 'Daughter' — replete with an interpolation of 'Caro mio ben' — displayed impeccable confidence, control and cinematic breadth. Beyoncé as an opera singer? Believe it. She was that girl, all right, both the fighter who pledged in a cappella 'they'll never take the country out of me' and, on the venomous latter part of 'Sweet Honey Buckiin,'' the once spurned-now-stronger woman eager to remind everyone the consequences of crossing her. Or underestimating her steel-trap memory and grasp on history. Wearing American flags fastened above her knees as her ensemble danced with the same flags, Beyoncé concluded on a hushed note. The church overtones of 'Amen' calmly addressed who really built America and who received the credit. As Beyoncé summoned better angels and called for a removal of ancestors' misdeeds, the face of the Statue of Liberty looked on, its mouth covered with a bandana. Call it a long-overdue reckoning, repossession or purification. True country in every sense, it served as an unforgettable merger of sound and vision.

Severe weather a concern for Beyoncé concert at Chicago's Soldier Field Thursday night
Beyoncé was set to take the stage at Soldier Field Thursday night for the first night of her Cowboy Carter tour in Chicago, but as the BeyHive prepares to swarm, so does the threat of severe weather. Tickets have been dropping in price. On StubHub earlier Thursday, tickets were as low as $98, compared to about $140 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, those pouring into Soldier Field have also poured a lot into preparing for the show, in terms of outfits and looks. When CBS News Chicago asked about whether those people were bringing ponchos — as umbrellas are not allowed inside — they said no. The show must go on, and they came as they were. When Beyoncé brought her Renaissance Tour to Chicago in 2023, heavy rain forced Soldier Field to pause admissions and hold people in place. Beyoncé ended up starting late. But on Thursday, vendors were selling merchandise as if rain and storms were not a worry. They said their merch trailers have hard tops, and their windows also shut if they have to close up shop for rain or storms. The organizers at Soldier Field would not outline their exact plans should severe weather hit, but they did say they are focused on safety: "Our primary objective is to keep all our guests safe and secure. We have vast experience in handling severe weather on major event days. Our severe weather plans are ready to implement if the need should arise." Gates for the Beyoncé show open at 5 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m. — with more shows scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. At least some people attending the concert said they plan on attending a second show — hoping if they see rain Thursday, there will be better weather this weekend.
