After setting the Grammy Awards stage on fire on February 2nd, superstar Beyoncé shared some big news for 2025 on Instagram: the Cowboy Carter Tour.

On December 25, 2024, Beyoncé once again proved she’s the greatest performer of her generation. During the halftime show of the NFL’s Christmas Gameday between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans, broadcast live on Netflix, Queen Bey stunned viewers with a medley of the best tracks from her latest album, Cowboy Carter. She upstaged the athletes with her phenomenal vocal range, charisma, and showmanship (arriving on horseback, dazzling dancers, her daughter joining her on stage, aerial stunts, a denim-covered car…).

This spectacular comeback, filmed in her hometown of Houston, was quickly dubbed the “Beyoncé Bowl,” igniting the internet with awe. Clad in a sultry white cowboy outfit, she danced flawlessly and performed her hits alongside big-name guests like Post Malone.
Later, at the 2025 Grammy Awards held on February 2, she stole the spotlight yet again. Queen Bey garnered 11 nominations and took home several awards, finally earning the coveted Album of the Year title, a long-overdue win after nearly 100 Grammy nominations throughout her career.
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour, one of 2025’s most anticipated tours
While fans of the “Queen of Pop” were thrilled by her Grammy triumph, that wasn’t the only surprise. At the end of 2024, Beyoncé posted a mysterious teaser on Instagram showing her riding a white horse with the caption “Look at that horse,” and waving an American flag. She hinted at a January 14, 2025, reveal, later postponed to February 1 due to the Los Angeles wildfires.
That’s when she officially announced her Cowboy Carter Tour for 2025, a follow-up to her Renaissance World Tour.
Three Beyoncé concerts in Paris at Stade de France
In another Instagram post, Beyoncé revealed that the tour would make a stop in France, specifically at the Stade de France in Paris, with three shows at the Stade de France on June 19th, 21st, and 22nd, 2025. The tour will also include London, Las Vegas, New York, and Los Angeles. These three dates in the French capital are expected to bring together nearly 200,000 spectators, making it one of the biggest crowds of the singer’s career.
Some internet users are predicting that Miley Cyrus will make an appearance at Beyoncé‘s concert in Paris on June 21, 2025. Indeed, the former Disney star is expected to be in the French capital on that date. When asked about it at the latest Met Gala, Miley Cyrus remained mysterious about her possible presence alongside Beyoncé, telling Entertainment Tonight: “I’ve got a few ideas in mind. I’m trying to catch up with her in Paris!” If this news is confirmed, the two women would then perform their duet II Most Wanted.
A mechanical bull and flying car at Beyoncé’s Paris concerts?
While waiting for confirmation, the Cowboy Carter Tour kicked off on April 28th in the City of Angels. A remarkable start for Queen Bey, who has accustomed us to legendary performances throughout her career. In this nearly three-hour show, Beyoncé performed all the biggest hits from her latest album.
Among the most memorable scenes, she emerges inside a car up in the air, several meters above stunned fans, singing her single 16 Carriages. Or inside a giant, sparkling horseshoe. In another scene, she rides a mechanical bull as she start singing the song Tyrant, or takes command of the stage in very country-inspired outfits.
Beyoncé even invites her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, to perform with her on stage. At only 13 years old, the young girl delivers an impressive dance performance. Perhaps she is ready to follow in her mother’s footsteps… Lastly, Rumi Carter, another one of her daughters, also made an appearance on stage.
A new album from Beyoncé after her Paris shows?
Some are speculating that Beyoncé may soon release a new album the third and final chapter in the trilogy she began with Renaissance (2022). This one might lean more toward rock music.
For now, however, that’s just speculation. With the tour underway, Beyoncé likely won’t have time to promote a new album and aesthetic.
The Beyoncé Bowl (2024) is available on Netflix. Beyoncé will perform at Stade de France in Paris on June 19, 21, and 22, 2025.
