Beyoncé lights up Washington with dazzling Fourth of July ‘Cowboy Carter' show
Forget fireworks. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lit up the nation's capital this Fourth of July with her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C — around 8:43 p.m local time. The concert marked her first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform at the stadium again on July 7. "Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Today is all about freedom," she said, opening the show in an American flag floor-length coat over a matching bodysuit with sparkly fringe boots and a white cowboy hat. 🚨 MOTHEER — Beyoncé Press. (@beyoncepress) July 5, 2025 As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The July Fourth show was no different. However, the added backdrop of the holiday made for an especially significant night — especially given the the messages and motifs pertaining to country music, America's complex past and its ongoing cultural reckoning. "The concept of Beyoncé having a show on the 4th of July in Washington D.C. performing, her album about celebrating Black Americanism… ICONIC," one fan wrote on X. Sir USA Davis. 🇺🇲 — Beyoncé Press. (@beyoncepress) July 5, 2025 And the electric energy and holiday spirit was kept alive throughout the entire night. Even a SirDavis whiskey bottle was seen dressed to match the theme. The tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. NEW CLOSING LOOK EATS😭😭😭 — 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆🫧💚 (@beyoncegarden) July 5, 2025 And she continued to serve during the D.C.-area opener. Of course, Beyoncé first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Julian McMahon, star of ‘Charmed,' ‘Nip/Tuck' and ‘FBI,' dies at 56
Actor Julian McMahon, best known for his roles in the TV series 'Charmed,' 'Nip/Tuck' and 'FBI: Most Wanted,' has died at 56 following a private battle with cancer. McMahon died on Wednesday in Clearwater, Fla., his wife, Kelly McMahon, confirmed to Deadline on Friday. 'With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,' she told the outlet. 'We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life.' Kelly did clarify what type of cancer her husband had. Born on July 27, 1968 in Sydney, Australia, McMahon first began a career as a model before making the move into acting. He quickly became a household name on the Aussie soap opera 'Home and Away,' then headed to Hollywood for another daytime role on NBC's 'Another World.' In the mid-1990s, he transitioned into prime-time shows, first with a series regular role on the NBC crime drama 'Profiler,' followed by his big break as half-demon Cole Turner on the hugely popular supernatural series 'Charmed.' In 2003, he snagged his first leading role on American TV as the charming and womanizing Dr. Christian Troy in Ryan Murphy's 'Nip/Tuck.' The plastic surgery drama, which ran for six seasons and 100 episodes on FX, scored him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Series. More recently, he appeared on Dick Wolf's 'FBI,' before getting tapped to star in its latest offshoot. As Special Agent Jess LaCroix on 'FBI: Most Wanted,' he led a team tasked with tracking down the country's most notorious criminals before leaving the show in 2022 at the end of season three. While McMahon was undoubtedly known as a TV star, he was beloved by fans of superhero flicks for his role as Dr. Victor von Doom in 2005's 'Fantastic Four' and its 2007 sequel 'Rise of the Silver Surfer.' His film credits also included 'Premonition' starring Sandra Bullock, the star-studded assassin film 'Red,' and 'The Surfer' with Nicolas Cage. In addition to his wife of more than 10 years, McMahon is survived by his 25-year-old daughter Madison, whom he shared with ex-wife Brooke Burns. _____
