Beyonce fans fear singer will RETIRE following Cowboy Carter tour that has been plagued with mishaps
The 43-year-old singer is in the last few weeks of her current tour, which began on April 28, 2025, in Inglewood, California, and is scheduled to conclude on July 26, 2025, in Paradise, Nevada.
The Cowboy Carter Tour, officially titled Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, is Beyoncé's ongoing concert tour in support of her album Cowboy Carter.
There have long been questions over Beyoncé's future following this collection of shows, but the rumor mill has ramped up in recent weeks with loyal fans divided over her game plan.
Voicing their concerns on social media, one panicked: 'I really think Beyoncé is about to retire.'
Another said: 'I think Beyoncé wants to retire soon… just a hunch.'
'I am so scared that Beyonce is about to retire and that's why she's doing back to back tours. Like I gotta see her live!' a third added.
Others, however, have shunned the rumors and have pointed to her previous comments about her passion for making music.
They have also highlighted that her album trilogy - which started her 2022 album Renaissance before the release of her 2024 album Cowboy Carter - is not yet complete.
'Beyoncé is in her prime and people thinking she's about to retire is insane,' said one.
Another agreed, adding: 'Exactly. I don't think she'll ever retire. I think she'll pop out less and less. Do shorter tours but Beyoncé is forever. Music is her heart. She's gonna continue to evolve with it & do whatever she wants because… she can.'
On Reddit, many have quashed Beyoncé retirement rumors too.
'I've been part of the Beyhive for 22 years now, and never really understood why people always think she'll retire near the end of an album rollout, even when she told us (multiple times) that making music is her passion and she'll always be creating art,' another posted.
Responding, one added: 'Honestly, 'the obsession' with Beyoncé retiring almost always stems from a place of not wanting her to but rather being nervous about the prospect because she's 1) achieved so much, and 2) thinks she would want to end as a legend and not a washed up has-been.
'I don't think it necessarily has any merit, but I think it's very different from people telling her to hang it up as people have been saying about Mariah due to recent extremely lackluster performances and material. In general, that is, there are always haters.'
Last September, Beyoncé stressed how much love she has for singing, hinting that she will never stop.
'Singing is not work for me,' she told GQ. 'I sing for me. I love music and I love to sing. It's a passion that runs deep.
'There's magic in the way it feels on my throat, a resonance that vibrates through me.
'When I am at my lowest, when I've been sad or in a heavy fog, sick or anxious with sleepless nights, I sing. And, often, I sing alone.'
But the speculation comes after her tour was plagued with a string of incidents from poor ticket sales, on-stage tech malfunctions to choreography issues.
Beyoncé recently concluded her epic six-night concern run in London and her shows in Paris.
She closed out the European leg of her Cowboy Carter tour and brought out her husband to perform their hit single Crazy in Love in the French capital as the couple took the stage together for the first time in seven years.
Her concert in France was a family affair as she was also joined by their daughter Blue Ivy on stage and had her mom Tina Knowles supporting them.
After performing in cities around Europe, Beyonce performed in her hometown of Houston, Texas and experienced a horrifying moment when she suffered a stage mishap with a mid-air prop.
At one point during her show on June 29, the red convertible she rides high above the crowd during her performance of 16 Carriages tilted dangerously, threatening to throw the Cowboy Carter artist off the car and into the audience.
Still, Beyoncé returned to the main stage and finished the performance like the consummate professional she is.
After the show, Beyoncé's team released a statement addressing the incident.
'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt.
'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident,' Parkwood Entertainment said.

Kim Zolciak's daughter Brielle Biermann reveals mother's influence on her 'botched' cosmetic procedures
Brielle Biermann pointed the finger at her mother when she discussed her history of dramatic cosmetic procedures for an upcoming spinoff episode of Botched. In a clip for Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, the 28-year-old daughter of Kim Zolciak said that it was her mom who took her to her very first lip filler appointment. Brielle also said that Kim — whose other daughter Ariana claimed had been stealing her teen modeling earnings with her estranged husband Kroy Biermann — would take her to her own cosmetic procedure appointments and speak openly of all her touchups in front of her children, which influenced her own attitude toward abundant dermal filler use. has reached out to representatives for Kim and Brielle for comment. While speaking with the plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow, the nepo baby — who revealed a rapidly reversed desire to dissolve her lip filler at the start of 2020 — admitted that she wanted to reverse the affects of her numerous filler procedures, including deposits around her cheek bones that she thought were overly plump and asymmetrical. She also shared the shocking confession that getting filler injections became so common for her that it was 'like getting a Diet Coke.' Brielle also told Dr. Terry Dubrow (R) that Kim would take her to her cosmetic procedure appointments and speak openly of all her touchups in front of her children, which influenced Brielle's attitude toward abundant dermal filler use 'I had just turned 18 when I first got my lips done,' Brielle admitted as Dubrow's mouth dropped open in shock. 'I graduated high school and the second I graduated, my mom took me to LA and I got my lips done by the doctor [that] everybody was getting their lips done [from] at the time. Dubrow interrupted to ask if the other doctor showed any hesitation about giving lip fillers to an 18-year-old patient. 'No, it was like, "Get in the chair, let's go,"' she recounted. In a cut to a separate talking head–style interview, Dubrow cautions providers to be wary of using filler on young patients, as the substance — which is often used to erase the visible signs of aging — can instead make young patients look prematurely old. According to the Cleveland Clinic, fillers tend to be synthetic or naturally occuring substances that are injected to smooth out lines and plump skin, particularly around the mouth, eyes or even nose. Fat from a patient's body can even be removed and then injected into their face to create a fuller appearance in the chosen spot. Although Brielle has expressed disappointment about her overly plump lips multiple times in recent years, it was filler under her eyes — around her cheek bones — that seemed to trouble her most. Ironically, Kim claimed in an interview with Dubrow in the same clip that she had counseled her oldest daughter to steer clear of under-eye filler, despite having allegedly played a role in normalizing other filler procedures for her. 'I told her to never do that under her eyes,' the former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star claimed, adding that she and Brielle were on the same page about regrets over the procedure. 'But, sometimes you've got to let them go and learn on their own, even though I was like, "Please don't."' Brielle admitted that she was happy with the under-eye filler at first, but now she found it to be 'so puffy,' with one side looking 'more full than the other.' I was always going with her to her doctors appointments. I feel like she was mostly getting every laser you could think of to remain youthful. So then every month, 'I'm like I need to get my lips done. 'Filler became like getting a Diet Coke,' she admitted. 'The under-eye filler just became like an insecurity that I didn't even really know I had.' Brielle noted that she had been a reality television fixture since she was 10 years old, and the clip then cut to an excerpt of an earlier show in which she received a luxury handbag as a birthday present. Kim, who looks dramatically different from her current appearance, hams it up and shouts at her daughter to 'smile' to show that she's happy about getting the present she asked for. In a confessional interview, Brielle admitted that Kim 'was always going to get botox and lip filler, and watching my mom go through this kind of just made it seem normal.' As evidence of Kim's openness about her cosmetic procedures and surgery, an old clip was included in which Kim boasts, 'The next time you see me, I'll have a new set of t***ies.' Brielle claimed she would eventually get 'hit up' by doctors offering her free injections and free surgeries on the condition that she post about the work she had done on social media to help advertise their practices. Because of those offers — and the money she made as a result of her social media posts to show off their work — she became hyper-fixated on any perceived imperfections with her face. 'Anything I saw that I felt like I could go fix, I would go and I would fix it!' Brielle admitted. She previously admitted at the beginning of 2020 that she had decided to dissolve all of her lip filler because of how dramatic her pout had become by late 2019. However, months later she added back some filler and revealed that she had wanted fuller lips since she was a teen because many of her friends had plumper lips than she did, and her mother concurred about her voicing that desire. Then, in 2023, Brielle shared a before and after photo comparing her overly plump 2019 lips with her still plump but considerably more natural lips at the time. 'Bit of a personal post,' she captioned her post. 'All I'm gonna say is if you start to get lip filler… Go to someone who will tell you no.' The beauty continued, 'At that time in my life (on the left) I had too many chefs in the kitchen… I went to too many injectors, none of which would tell me no!' In 2023, Brielle shared a before and after photo comparing her overly plump 2019 lips with her still plump but more natural lips at the time. She warned any fans who wanted lip fillers to 'go to someone who will tell you no' She admitted: 'I would be injected, get used to the new size of my lips, and then think I needed more. I still love some filler but listen to someone who went through it… Do not get overfilled!' Kim's appearance with her daughter comes after she and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann were forced out of their mansion near Atlanta last month by police amid their financial woes and dramatic divorce conflict. Other stars who will be featured on the Botched spinoff include Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day, former Playboy model Kathy Brown, Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta star Jessica Dime, 90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Santos Lima and multiple influencers, including Sebastian Bails, Sophia Elgerabli and Alan McGarry. The new show is hosted by Michelle Visage of RuPaul's Drag Race fame, along with Botched fixtures Dubrow and body-image expert Dr. Spirit, PhD. Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres on E! on Wednesday, July 9, and it will be available to stream on Peacock seven days after it airs on television.

Although her star continued to rise, Sophie said she found the cutthroat showbiz industry difficult to handle and almost walked away altogether. 'Back then it was tough, I felt a little bit misunderstood,' she admitted, adding that it made her think twice about her career choice. 'So I said either get out of the industry or have fun. You know what, take it on. A lot of people would love to be in it. I just kind of fell in it,' she explained.

Dree Hemingway spotted portraying Daryl Hannah alongside Paul Kelly's JFK Jr. on the set of American Love Story
One of John F. Kennedy Jr.'s famous exes has seemingly been cast in FX's American Love Story, as evidenced by new photos from the New York City set. Actress Dree Hemingway was spotted filming alongside Paul Kelly as John F. Kennedy Jr. for what appeared to be a date scene in New York City on Tuesday, which comes after their co-star Sarah Pidgeon had a terse response to haters. While neither Hemingway - the great-granddaughter of literary great Ernest Hemingway and daughter of actress Mariel Hemingway - nor the network has confirmed the casting, there appears to be one big tell. Hemingway was spotted wearing a dress that is strikingly similar to the one Hannah was spotted wearing while attending the Rhode Island wedding of JFK Jr.'s cousin Edward Kennedy Jr. in October 1993. Hannah and JFK Jr. dated for five years, after reconnecting at the 1988 wedding of his aunt Lee Radziwill, though they knew each other years earlier since their families had vacationed together in Saint Martin. After they broke up, JFK Jr. started dating Carolyn Bessette, who he would marry in 1996 before their tragic deaths in a plane crash off the coast of Cape Cod in 1999. Hemingway was spotted wearing a brown dress with unique patterns that's quite similar - but not identical - to the one Hannah wore to the 1993 Rhode Island wedding. She also wore a matching light brown coat over her dress and accessorizing with brown sunglasses and a small brown purse with her long blonde locks flowing over her shoulders. The actress completed her look with a pair of brown heeled boots for her day on the set, as she was seen kissing Kelly and getting out of a yellow NYC taxi cab. Kelly was spotted wearing a light brown dress shirt sans tie with a dark brown plaid suit coat over it for the scene. He completed his look with blue dress pants and brown shoes for his day on the set on Tuesday. Hemingway was also seen cutting loose with some impromptu dance moves between takes on the set. It's unclear if the show plans on re-creating the 1993 wedding or if the scenes they're shooting are from a different point and time in JFK Jr.' and Hannah's relationship. Hemingway joins a cast that also includes Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy, Grace Gummer as Caroline Kennedy, Alessandro Nivola as Calvin Klein (who Bessette worked for), Leila George as Calvin's daughter Kelly, Sydney Lemmon as Caroline's sister Lauren, who also died in the tragic plane crash, and Noah Fearnley as Michael Bergen, Caroline's ex who alleged that they continued a sexual relationship while she was married to JFK Jr. She also wore a matching light brown coat over her dress and accessorizing with brown sunglasses and a small brown purse with her long blonde locks flowing over her shoulders. Kelly was spotted wearing a light brown dress shirt sans tie with a dark brown plaid suit coat over it for the scene. Hemingway was also seen cutting loose with some impromptu dance moves between takes on the set. Fans have already been bashing American Love Story creator Ryan Murphy for wardrobe and fashion choices. Murphy responded to the fickle fans in an interview with Variety, stating they are doing the same thing to actress Sarah Paulson that media and others did to the real Carolyn Bessette. 'There were comments like, "I hate that coat, Carolyn would have never worn that. That was just a coat we threw on for color. People are writing "How dare you use the No. 35 Birkin bag? She wore a 40!" Yes we have a 40 but we just threw on a bag from another costume department because that was the sound stage we were on,' he said. 'They're doing to our Carolyn, what they did to the real-life Carolyn. It's not fair,' Ryan added to Variety.
