Beyoncé Surprises Fan With Gender Reveal During 'Cowboy Carter' Tour Stop
Beyoncé continues to make magic on her 'Cowboy Carter' Tour — and at her May 28 show at MetLife Stadium, she gave one fan a moment they'll never forget.
In the middle of her performance, Queen Bey paused the show to help a concertgoer reveal the gender of their baby. And yes — it was raining, but that didn't stop the Houston native from making the moment special.
'This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing,' she said, making her way toward the fan through the downpour. 'I gotta do this right.'
Clips shared online show Beyoncé wearing a sleek black jumpsuit with a bold American flag design on the legs. S
he struggled for a few seconds to open the envelope handed to her by the fan. Laughing with the crowd, she admitted, 'My hands are sticky!'
Eventually, she got it open and read the reveal: 'COWBOY.'
With a bright smile, she turned to the crowd and announced, 'It's a boy! God bless you. Congratulations! Thank you so much for letting me be part of this.'
Playfully, she held onto the torn packaging, adding, 'I'm keeping this.'
This wasn't the only personal touch Beyoncé brought to the tour. When she kicked things off at SoFi Stadium in L.A. on April 28, she brought her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi, on stage.
'Cowboy Carter,' her latest project, has already been a cultural reset. The album earned her not only her first Grammy win for Album of the Year, but also took home the trophy for Best Country Album — a historic win for the global superstar.

A former Rolling Stone says the Met has his stolen guitar. The museum disputes it
LONDON (AP) — It's only rock 'n' roll, but it's messy. A guitar once played by two members of the Rolling Stones is at the center of a dispute between the band's former guitarist Mick Taylor and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The 1959 Gibson Les Paul was donated to the Met as part of what the New York museum calls 'a landmark gift of more than 500 of the finest guitars from the golden age of American guitar making.' The donor is Dirk Ziff, a billionaire investor and guitar collector. When the Met announced the gift in May, Taylor thought he recognized the guitar, with its distinctive 'starburst' finish, as an instrument he last saw in 1971, when the Stones were recording the album 'Exile on Main St.' at Keith Richards' rented villa in the south of France. In the haze of drugs and rock 'n' roll that pervaded the sessions, a number of instruments went missing, believed stolen. Now, Taylor and his team believe it has reappeared. The Met says provenance records show no evidence the guitar ever belonged to Taylor. 'This guitar has a long and well-documented history of ownership,' museum spokesperson Ann Bailis said. Taylor's partner and business manager, Marlies Damming, said the Met should make the guitar 'available for inspection.' 'An independent guitar expert should be able to ascertain the guitar's provenance one way or the other,' she said in a statement Tuesday to The Associated Press. While its ownership is contested, there's no disputing the instrument's starring role in rock history. It was owned in the early 1960s by Keith Richards, who played it during the Rolling Stones' first appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' in 1964. The Met says that performance 'ignited interest in this legendary model.' The guitar – nicknamed the 'Keithburst' – was also played by guitar legends Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Taylor says he got it from Richards in 1967, two years before he joined the Stones, replacing original member Brian Jones. Jones died in 1969. Taylor left the band in 1974, reuniting with them for the Stones' 50th anniversary tour in 2012-2013. Jeff Allen, who was Taylor's manager and publicist for decades from the 1990s, said Taylor 'told me he got it as a present from Keith,' and also mentioned the theft. 'Mick did tell me that the guitar solo that he became quite famous for, on 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking,' was with the Les Paul that got stolen,' Allen said. The Met's records say the Les Paul was owned by Richards until 1971, when it was acquired by record producer and manager Adrian Miller, who died in 2006. The guitar has changed hands several times since then, and reappeared twice in public. It was put up for auction by Christie's in 2004, when it failed to sell. Ziff bought it in 2016, and loaned it to the Met in 2019 for an exhibition titled 'Play it Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll.' It's unclear what will happen next. The Met, which plans to open a new gallery dedicated to its collection of American guitars, says it has not been contacted by Taylor or his representatives.

Megyn Kelly calls out ‘fake' Beyoncé over Levi's ad: ‘Opposite of Sydney Sweeney'
Megyn Kelly blasted Beyoncé as 'artificial' and 'fake' after the singer was featured wearing a blonde wig and decked out in denim in a new ad campaign by jeans giant Levi's — reginiting a long-simmering feud with the pop diva. 'This is the opposite of the Sydney Sweeney ad,' the former Fox News host wrote on X on Tuesday. 'Quite clearly there is nothing natural about Beyonce.' Kelly's swipe at the Grammy winner comes after an American Eagle ad featuring the blonde-haired, blue-eyed 'White Lotus' actress — with the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' — drew outcry from the 'woke' mob for promoting everything from Western beauty standards to eugenics. 5 Beyoncé's new ad for Levi's jeans was not well received by critics including former Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Levi Strauss & Co. The podcaster, however, took issue with the 'Cowboy Carter' singer's makeover. 'Everything — from her image to her fame to her success to her look below — is bought and paid for. Screams artificial, fake, enhanced, trying too hard,' Kelly wrote. The Post has sought comment from Kelly, Sweeney, Beyoncé and Levi Strauss & Co. Sweeney's ad created a firestorm over its wordplay between 'jeans' and 'genes,' with critics arguing the double entendre promoted harmful beauty standards and even evoked eugenic ideals. Over the weekend, President Trump praised the ad as the 'hottest ad out there' and celebrated Sweeney's reported Republican registration. American Eagle stock has shot up by roughly 30% following Trump's endorsement and the viral attention. 5 Kelly took to X and drew a contrast between the new Levi's ad and the American Eagle campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney. American Eagle The company has defended its campaign, stating that the ad 'is — and always was — about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story.' American Eagle emphasized its commitment to celebrating how everyone wears their jeans with confidence. Earlier this year during an appearance on Australia's Sky News, Kelly accused Beyoncé of 'playing victim' after discovering that the singer's world tour features footage of the podcaster criticizing her entry into country music. 5 Beyoncé's Levi's collaboration, titled 'Denim Cowboy,' draws inspiration from classic Levi's commercials of the 1980s and 1990s. Levi Strauss & Co. The host of the SiriusXM podcast 'The Megyn Kelly Show' ripped Beyoncé for 'sticking her big toe' into country music when the singer's genre-crossing album was released. 'Beyoncé, who's on some world tour right now reinventing herself as a country star, is running videotape during the show of yours truly,' Kelly said in the segment, titled 'Beyonce Tries Playing Victim.' Kelly characterized Beyoncé as 'another one of the most privileged, beloved women in the world — and richest, based on her own fortune, never mind the man she's married to,' referencing the singer's billionaire husband Jay-Z. 5 The former Fox News host wrote on X that there was 'nothing natural about Beyoncé.' Devil May Care Media Despite this status, Kelly argued that Beyoncé 'still has to look for the one sliver where she could play the victim and be aggrieved because big bad Megyn Kelly said something completely milquetoast about her entry into country music.' Beyoncé became the first black woman to reach No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart with her lead single 'Texas Hold 'Em.' Her 'Cowboy Carter' album also achieved massive commercial and critical success, topping the Billboard 200 and ultimately winning both album of the year and best country album at the 2025 Grammy Awards. 5 Sydney Sweeney poses confidently in her American Eagle campaign, which stirred controversy over its 'great jeans' wordplay. American Eagle Beyoncé's Levi's collaboration draws inspiration from classic Levi's commercials of the 1980s and 1990s, featuring cinematic scenes that include Beyoncé riding a motorcycle, and appearing in laundromat and pool hall settings. Industry observers have credited Beyoncé's partnership with substantially increasing Levi's global sales and brand visibility, particularly among younger, fashion-forward demographics.
