Beyoncé Wraps ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tour in Las Vegas with Star-Studded Finale
LAS VEGAS — Beyoncé brought her groundbreaking Cowboy Carter tour to a powerful close Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium, delivering a finale packed with star-studded cameos, bold fashion statements, and emotional sendoffs that had the Las Vegas crowd roaring from start to finish.
The July 26 performance marked the final stop in a 32-city stadium tour that blended country, R&B, and cultural homage with Beyoncé’s signature style and showmanship. From surprise reunions to heartfelt tributes, the tour’s final bow was nothing short of iconic.
Destiny’s Child Reunites Onstage
In one of the night’s most unforgettable moments, Beyoncé welcomed former Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams back to the stage. The trio performed fan-favorite hits like “Bootylicious” and “Lose My Breath,” igniting the crowd in nostalgic energy.
Their synchronized dance moves and vibrant chemistry turned the arena into a time machine, reminding fans of the trio’s lasting legacy in pop and R&B.
Shaboozey Joins Beyoncé for Onstage Debut
Rising country-rap artist Shaboozey made his live performance debut with Beyoncé during the Vegas finale. The two teamed up for their hit “Sweet Honey Buckin’,” with Shaboozey donning an American flag scarf and Western attire while Beyoncé matched his energy onstage.
The collaboration brought a powerful, genre-bending moment to the set — echoing the spirit of the Cowboy Carter album that champions Black artists in country music.
Jay-Z’s Surprise Appearance Brings Romance and Fire
As if fans needed more, Jay-Z joined Beyoncé once again, performing their iconic duet “Crazy in Love” and his solo track “Nias in Paris.” The power couple sealed the moment with an onstage kiss, marking a full-circle end to the tour.
Jay-Z previously made an appearance during the Paris stop of the tour and has been a recurring presence throughout Beyoncé’s live shows in 2025.
Fashion as Storytelling: The “Deja Blue” Tribute to Blue Ivy
The finale also served as a canvas for Beyoncé’s evolving tour wardrobe. Among several new looks, she wore a “Deja Blue” shirt — a sweet nod to her 13-year-old daughter and lead dancer Blue Ivy, who has appeared throughout the tour and even performed a standout routine to Beyoncé’s hit “Deja Vu.”
From rhinestone-studded cowboy boots to fringe-heavy Western glam, the show continued the fashion-forward theme that’s become a staple of this tour.
Standing Ovations and a Message of Legacy
The Las Vegas crowd was one of the loudest of the tour, according to Beyoncé herself. Fans rose in multiple standing ovations throughout the night as she powered through songs from Cowboy Carter and past albums like her 2013 self-titled release, including “Partition” and “Drunk in Love.”
“This tour took years to build,” Beyoncé told the crowd. “I started planning this before Renaissance. This is special.”
Earlier in the day, her team at Parkwood Entertainment declared July 26 a symbolic ending, coinciding with the National Day of the Cowboy — paying tribute to the legacy of Black cowboys in American history.
The End of an Era
The Cowboy Carter tour, which debuted on April 28 in Los Angeles, traveled across nine cities in the U.S. and Europe. It redefined country music, created space for underrepresented voices, and proved once again that Beyoncé is a genre-shaping force unlike any other.
As the stadium lights dimmed and the final notes rang out, Beyoncé stood atop a tour that will go down as one of the most daring and influential performances of her career.
