Unreleased tunes pilfered by burglars - Criminals Swipe Unheard Tracks from Upcoming Album
The "Cowboy Carter Tour," Beyoncé's highly-anticipated tour in support of her 2024 namesake album, has encountered two unexpected incidents. The first, a theft of unreleased music, film material, show plans, and setlists, occurred in Atlanta on July 8, 2025. The second, a malfunction of a floating prop vehicle, took place during a show in Houston at the end of June.
The theft from Beyoncé's choreographer's rental car in Atlanta resulted in the loss of several items, including hard drives containing unreleased music and footage related to the tour. The incident temporarily interrupted the show before Beyoncé was due to start her performances in Atlanta. Authorities confirmed that an arrest warrant was issued for a suspect, but their identity has not been disclosed. Evidence at the scene included two fingerprints and a possible suspect vehicle, a 2025 red Hyundai Elantra.
The malfunction of the floating prop vehicle during a show in Houston did not result in any reported injuries. The vehicle, a key part of the show's production, malfunctioned and tipped dangerously, causing a brief interruption in the performance. The incident is being investigated separately from the theft in Atlanta.
The "Cowboy Carter Tour," which started in California at the end of April 2024, has faced these challenges but continues to captivate audiences with its innovative production and Beyoncé's powerful performances. The tour has been widely reported by media outlets, including "The Hollywood Reporter" and local stations.
As the investigation into the theft continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. Meanwhile, the tour is set to continue, with upcoming shows scheduled across the United States. Fans can expect more of Beyoncé's signature style and energy as the tour progresses.
