Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter Tour” kicked off in dramatic fashion on Monday night, but not just because of the superstar’s electrifying performance. After the show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, a chaotic brawl broke out among her fans in the VIP lounge.
Beyoncé Fans Clash in VIP Lounge After ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tour Opening Night
What was supposed to be a celebration of Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour quickly escalated into a physical altercation between fans. The drama unfolded shortly after Beyoncé’s nearly three-hour show, which featured 39 songs from her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter. The altercation, captured on camera and shared by TMZ, shows a group of fans clashing violently in the VIP area.
One fan, dressed in a denim cowboy outfit, sparked the tension when she put her hand in another woman’s face. This only intensified the situation, culminating in a shoving and kicking brawl. The altercation reached a boiling point when one fan knocked another’s white cowboy hat off, and the fight quickly escalated with multiple people pushing and kicking each other.

While the fans were losing control, Beyoncé delivered an unforgettable show that included rare family moments. Her 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy performed as part of her mom’s backup dancers once again, marking her second tour with the superstar. Beyoncé also surprised fans by bringing her 7-year-old daughter Rumi onstage for a touching performance of “Protector”, a track from Cowboy Carter featuring Rumi’s vocals.
However, Rumi’s twin brother, Sir Carter, was notably absent from the performance.

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album has already made waves, winning three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Miley Cyrus.

It remains unclear how the fight ended as the video footage cuts off, but the Los Angeles Police Department was contacted for comment.

The 35-time Grammy winner will be performing four more concerts in Los Angeles before heading to cities across the U.S. and Europe. The Cowboy Carter Tour will wrap up in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on July 26, 2025.
