Beyoncé is set to bring her "Cowboy Carter" swagger to a city near you, and if a youre in Chicago, count yourselves lucky—she'll be there not once, but twice. Soldier Field is the place to be on May 15 and May 17, where the icon who just nabbed Album of the Year at the Grammys will grace the stage. This announcement was dropped not subtly in the aftermath of her Grammy win, sparking excitement for her upcoming "Cowboy Carter Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour," as reported by CBS News Chicago.
The presale train leaves the station on February 11 for fan club members and Citi Bank cardholders, and then everyone else can try their luck when the box office flings open its doors on Valentine's Day. Heart-shaped chocolates and roses are nice and all, but securing a Beyoncé ticket? Now we're talking. And you've got to move fast; presale sign-ups close up shop on February 6, as per the artist's official site mention.
The Cowboy Carter Tour is packing up to hit a total of eight cities, including but not restricted to London, Paris, and Houston, where Beyoncé will undoubtedly be hailed as hometown royalty. Los Angeles gets the debut performance on April 28, while Atlanta gets the curtain call on July 11. The glow of Grammy gold is following Beyoncé from Los Santos to the South, promising fans a spectacle sprinkled with tracks from "Cowboy Carter," an album that's made its mark with hits like "Bodyguard" and "Levi's Jeans," as the tour name itself hints at a theme as bold and unapologetic as her award-winning tunes.
Let's not overlook the sheer social media frenzy that's followed the announcement. Beyoncé’s Instagram with her tour-related posts swelling with likes into the millions—1.4 million to be exact for the initial tease, and 730,000 for the detailed tour stop rundown in a mere five hours. Her influence is just as golden as her record-breaking 99 Grammy nominations—a statistic revered by CBS News Chicago.
