The night began with a patriotic and soulful tone, as Beyoncé opened with “Ameriican Requiem”, followed by a moving rendition of “Blackbiird”, which cleverly incorporated a snippet of “The Star-Spangled Banner”. She then shifted into more contemporary territory with “Freedom”, “Ya Ya”, and an interlude version of “Oh Louisiana”, establishing the political and historical undertones of the Cowboy Carter project.
Mid-show, Beyoncé brought the energy up with fierce performances of “America Has a Problem”, “Spaghettii”, and her empowerment anthem “Formation”. Tracks like “My House” and “Diva” were performed back-to-back, energizing the stadium. She also delivered emotionally rich performances of newer tracks like “Alliigator Tears”, “Protector”, “Desert Eagle”, and the Flamenco-influenced “Flamenco”.
One of the highlights of the evening came during a powerful medley combining “Sweet Honey Buckiin’”, “Summer Renaissance”, and “Pure/Honey”, seamlessly weaving together elements of disco, gospel, and house.
Fans were treated to intimate ballads like “Daddy Lessons”, her reimagined cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”, and the moving “Bodyguard”. She also teased snippets of newer material like “II Most Wanted” and transitioned into crowd favorites including “Cuff It”, “Thique”, and the fan-loved “Alien Superstar”.
The night closed with a string of high-energy hits. Beyoncé powered through “Texas Hold ‘Em”, “Crazy in Love”, and “Heated”, before winding down with the emotional “Before I Let Go”, “16 Carriages”, and a gospel-tinged finale, “Amen”.
