Beyoncé Performs in Chicago After Weather Delay During Cowboy Carter Tour

Beyoncé just turned Soldier Field into a dance floor. The Queen Bee touched down in Chicago this week, boots on, mic hot, and fans losing their minds — and she did not disappoint.

Her Cowboy Carter Tour rolled into town with a bang on Thursday night (May 15), and yes, even the rain tried to stop her. Storms caused delays, but Beyoncé made fans wait in style — because when she finally hit the stage, it was pure magic.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, fans were told to shelter in place for hours due to lightning, but when the clouds cleared, the party started — and it was worth every soggy second.

She’s set to do it all over again this weekend — with shows on Saturday (May 17) and Sunday (May 18). If you’ve got tickets, bless you. If not, you might wanna hit up StubHub or SeatGeek now.

The Cowboy Carter setlist? Packed with power. Beyoncé delivered hits like “Texas Hold ’Em,” “16 Carriages,” and of course, crowd-faves like “Formation,” “Crazy in Love,” and “Run the World.”

The visuals? Next level. Her outfits? Rodeo glam meets high fashion. Her energy? Unmatched, obviously.

People on TikTok are already calling it the “country concert for people who don’t even like country.” And that’s facts.

Even The New York Post said ticket prices are dropping, with some seats starting at just $109. Beyoncé on a budget? That’s rare.

Chicago is going full Beyhive this weekend, with pop-up events, bar crawls, and cowboy hats basically everywhere. As Axios Chicago put it: “Cowboy Carter has taken over the city.”

Moral of the story? If you’re in the 312 and not vibing with Beyoncé this weekend, you’re doing it wrong.
