Y’all, Beyoncé said, “Variety is the spice of life, and also my setlist.” The Cowboy Carter Tour just got its second wind—literally night two—and Queen Bey decided to mix it up like she was DJing her own karaoke birthday party. And we are LIVING.
While night one was all about Renaissance and Cowboy Carter—with a sprinkle of old-school Bey for seasoning—night two said, “Let’s throw it back, baby!” The show turned into a full-blown Beychella-meets-honky-tonk-meets-Sasha-Fierce experience. Because why not?
Yes, Beyoncé added some of her most iconic hits to the second night. We’re talking:
- 💍 “Single Ladies” (Put a ring on it or sit down respectfully.)
- 💕 “Love On Top” (The note key changes were doing Parkour.)
- 😭 “Irreplaceable” (To the left, to the left—yes, even your emotional stability.)
- 🧑⚖️ “If I Were a Boy” (She did the dramatic stare into the distance. You know the one.)
Not only did she throw these classics into the glittery blender of her already-stacked setlist, but she also shuffled the song order around like a Vegas card dealer with a wind machine. Absolute chaos. Absolute iconic chaos.
So what’s the plan here?
Is Beyoncé testing different vibes? Is she workshopping the ultimate Super Bowl halftime show in secret? Is she simply flexing her ability to headline 43 songs without breaking a sweat or a vocal cord? Yes. To all of it.
She’s got three more shows in Los Angeles this week alone, and honestly? Nobody is safe. You might get country Bey. You might get disco Bey. You might get Destiny’s Child Bey rising from a trapdoor with Michelle and Kelly for no reason at all.
Now let’s talk numbers (a.k.a. the wild, gorgeous setlist):
Night One Highlights:
A glorious parade of Cowboy Carter jams, Renaissance bangers, some patriotic flair (she sang the Star-Spangled Banner like she invented America), and a sprinkle of classics.
Night Two?
She basically said, “Let me remind y’all I’m the woman who invented heartbreak, pop, country, R\&B, and possibly time travel.”
She still gave us the newer gems—“AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” “SPAGHETTII,” “TYRANT”—but then hit us with “Crazy in Love” into “Single Ladies” into “Love On Top” and now I need to sit down and hydrate.
Bonus fun fact:
Yes, tickets are still available! If you’re reading this and not buying a ticket on Ticketmaster, StubHub, or Vivid Seats, what are you even doing?? Beyoncé is out here rewriting history every night like it’s a group project and she’s the only one who showed up.
Catch the show now before she adds an entire Destiny’s Child reunion, a jazz version of “Partition,” or rides in on an actual horse named Sasha. With Beyoncé? Anything is possible.
Wanna guess what songs she’ll surprise us with next?
