Is Beyonce Struggling To Sell Out Her ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tour? Report Suggests So

Is Beyonce Struggling To Sell Out Her 'Cowboy Carter' Tour Report Suggests So

With neither of her stadium tours selling out tickets, Beyoncé seems to be falling from grace with her fans. But, I feel there are some good reasons for it.

One of the driving factors behind the Beyoncé Cowboy Carter tour not selling out is the astronomical prices being charged. Fans were shocked to find that even standing seats would set them back $300. That was before resale.

A regular seat somewhere you wouldn’t need an oxygen mask to sing along could rack up a solid $800 bill. I know that artists are much more heavily reliant on tour money than ever, but Beyoncé isn’t exactly strapped. Her high ticket prices seem greedy. I know a few people are not buying her tour tickets out of principle.

Although Beyoncé claimed her Cowboy Carter album wasn’t country, it still took home a fair few awards for that category. The album took the “Best Country Album” and “Album of the Year” Grammy. But, although it was highly praised by the Grammys, it didn’t stick in the charts.

Whenever Beyoncé drops a new album, it hangs around in the Billboard charts like a bad smell. But, Cowboy Carter was completely out of the Billboard 200 charts in only 28 weeks. People simply weren’t that into it. The lack of interest is probably aiding in her lack of Cowboy Carter tour ticket sales. $300+ for a mediocre album? No thanks.

The Beyoncé PR Team Has Their Excuses

There have also been rumors that it was all Ticketmaster’s fault. Their site, which is notoriously awful to navigate, was said to have crashed. However, Ticketmaster has come out and said that there was no truth in this.

The lack of initial Cowboy Carter tour ticket sales was blamed on a faulty site. But, the company denied these claims, even releasing a statement. It is suspected that Beyoncé’s PR team released these rumors to hide their shame at low sales.

The London branch of the Cowboy Carter Beyoncé tour tickets are the ones refusing to move most. But, living in the UK is not an easy situation at the moment. Traveling across the country is brutally expensive, London accommodation for even a night will be hundreds of dollars, and the tickets on top of that make for a single event costing close to $1000. For most, this album tour simply isn’t worth it.

Kanye West sparks controversy with attacks on Jay-Z and Beyonce’s children

The rapper’s latest social media rant fuels backlash and reignites past tensions with the music power couple

Kanye West has once again stirred controversy with a series of shocking social media posts, this time directing his ire at Jay-Z and Beyonce‘s children.

In a disturbing rant posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, West made allegations about how Beyonce conceived her 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, claiming that she used IVF.

The rapper quickly followed up with additional posts, revealing that he initially deleted his first message about the twins after receiving urgent advice from his team.

“SOMEBODY FROM MY MUSIC TEAM CALLED ME AND BEGGED ME TO TAKE IT DOWN AND SPOKE ON TWITTER BANNING ETC. IM SOOOO MAD I TOOK THAT DOWN,” West wrote.

However, the original post remained visible on his X feed despite his claims. He then lashed out at Jay-Z, calling the rap mogul a “p-y a-” and alleging that the Roc Nation founder had pressured him into removing the tweet.

“MY TWITTER IS A ONE WAY CONVERSION,” West added in another post, suggesting that he would continue speaking his mind, regardless of consequences.

A Longstanding Rift Between Kanye West and Jay-Z

The relationship between Kanye West and Jay-Z has been filled with ups and downs for decades. The two first crossed paths in the early 2000s when West began producing tracks for Roc-A-Fella Records, the label co-founded by Jay-Z.

Their bond deepened as they worked on multiple projects together, leading to West releasing the song “Big Brother” in 2007-a tribute to Jay-Z and their mentorship.

However, their friendship took a hit in 2014 when Jay-Z and Beyonce failed to attend West’s wedding to Kim Kardashian in Italy. While West initially downplayed their absence, he later admitted that it hurt him deeply.

“I was hurt about them not coming to the wedding,” West revealed in a 2018 interview. “I understand they were going through some things, but if it’s family, you’re not going to miss a wedding.”

Tensions escalated further when West publicly criticized the couple during a 2016 concert, claiming that their daughter, Blue Ivy, and his own daughter, North West, had never met for a playdate. He also accused Jay-Z of failing to reach out after Kardashian‘s traumatic Paris robbery.

Jay-Z seemingly addressed the fallout on his 2017 album “4:44”, particularly in the song “Kill JAY-Z”, where he referenced their deteriorating relationship, even appearing to call West “insane.”

Kanye West’s Ongoing Controversies and Public Outbursts

West‘s latest outburst is just one in a string of recent controversies. Over the past few months, he has faced backlash for making antisemitic comments, selling swastika-branded merchandise, and openly expressing extremist views.

His inflammatory rhetoric has led to major professional setbacks, including Shopify shutting down his online store and his talent agency cutting ties with him.

Additionally, West‘s personal life has been in the spotlight, with Kim Kardashian objecting to their daughter North being featured in one of his songs-a track that also includes Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently entangled in serious legal issues.

West had previously apologized to the Jewish community in December 2023, claiming that his past statements were an “unintended outburst.” However, he has since continued to push the boundaries with more antisemitic remarks, including stating, “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi”.

As West continues down this path, his public and professional standing faces further decline, leaving many to question how much longer he can continue making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
