Beyoncé continues her reign as the undisputed queen of the music world, announcing her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter Tour just hours after making history at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.

Beyoncé revealed the first nine locations for her much-anticipated Cowboy Carter & The Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour via a post on Instagram, with the cities announced including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Houston, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas. Dates for the listed cities have not yet been announced.


The superstar shared the news on Instagram, captioning a tour poster with the words: “SHE COMING.”

The announcement comes hot on the heels of a monumental moment in Beyoncé’s career—her first-ever win for Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys for Cowboy Carter.

The accolade marks a long-overdue recognition for the superstar and makes her the first Black woman in over two decades to take home this prestigious award, and the fourth Black woman to ever win the accolade following Lauryn Hill in 1999, Whitney Houston (1994) and Natalie Cole (1992). The achievement also cements Beyoncé’s status as the most-awarded artist in Grammy history, with an astonishing 32 wins.

“I’d like to thank and acknowledge and praise all of the firefighters for keeping us safe,” she began her heartfelt speech at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. “I just feel very full and very honored. It’s been many, many years.”

Bey continued: “I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer for all of the hard work. I want to dedicate this to Ms. [Linda] Martell. I hope we keep pushing forward opening doors.”

It was already a decorated night for Bey as Cowboy Carter won best country album earlier in Sunday’s (Feb. 2) ceremony. She’s the first Black woman to win that award. Additionally, she was victorious in the best country duo/group performance for “II Most Wanted,” which featured Miley Cyrus.

Following its arrival in April, Cowboy Carter spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200. It’s her eighth album to reach the chart’s summit. Just prior to the Grammys ceremony, Bey teased the Cowboy Carter Tour, posting a short video on Instagram showcasing a large hanging neon sign that read “Cowboy Carter Tour,” accompanied by the sound of wind in the background.

In a follow-up post, she shared a promotional image of herself sporting blonde braids with the caption “Cowboy Carter Tour 2025.”
