Beyoncé is officially back in her Yeehaw Era!
Late Saturday night (because Beyoncé only operates on Beyoncé Standard Time), the 43-year-old global superstar casually changed the trajectory of our lives by announcing the Cowboy Carter Tour—and she did it through a sneaky little partnership with Netflix.
How did she break the news? Oh, just in the most effortlessly iconic way possible: by slapping it onto the tail end of her Beyoncé Bowl Netflix special like it was a “P.S. I love you” note.
After 13 glorious minutes of watching Beyoncé command a Christmas Day NFL game like it was the Super Bowl (because let’s be real, it was), Netflix threw in a quick clip featuring an image of Queen Bey herself, before dramatically flashing Cowboy Carter Tour on the screen—while the sweet, twangy sounds of “Sweet Honey Buckiin’” played in the background.
And then? Beyoncé said absolutely nothing. Not a word. Not a single Instagram caption. Just vibes.
Netflix, However, Was Feeling Chatty
Since Beyoncé refuses to acknowledge her own announcements (probably just to keep us on our toes), Netflix decided to do it for her.
The streaming giant hopped onto Instagram and dropped the most passive-aggressive-yet-excited post ever:
“tonight seems like the perfect night to rewatch Beyoncé Bowl on Netflix.”
Translation: Go watch the special again, and this time, don’t blink.
But Wait… Wasn’t This Supposed to Happen Earlier?
If you’re thinking, “Wait a minute, wasn’t Beyoncé supposed to drop some big news back on January 14?”—you are correct, detective!
However, in a rare moment of being a considerate celebrity (looking at you, artists who drop albums during world crises), Beyoncé postponed the announcement out of respect for the devastating fires in Los Angeles.
What Now?
Now, we patiently wait for tour dates and ticket info—by “patiently,” we mean refreshing Beyoncé’s website every 10 minutes and mentally preparing for the Ticketmaster battle of the century.
Stay tuned for updates, and may the Beyhive luck be ever in your favor! 🐝🤠🎶
