In a stadium of strangers dressed in fabulous fringe, denim, boots, cowboy hats and other adornments in keeping with the immaculate Cowboy Carter aesthetic, I rediscovered something that I had long misplaced: Ebullient joy.

On Saturday and Sunday, Beyoncé will be taking over the NRG Stadium, and fans are wondering if she will have any surprise guests, especially after her recent show in Paris, where she brought out her husband Jay-Z for their first performance together in at least seven years.

Beyonce, who just won her first Grammy for her county-fusion-style album “Cowboy Carter”, just announced her 2025 Cowboy Carter Tour. If you’re ready to get tickets, plan ahead by heading to Vivid Seats, Stubhub, Ticketmaster, and Seat Geek for the cheapest ticket options. Tickets start at only $292, a steal for big tour stadium shows these days.
