Unreleased music theft strikes Beyoncé's tour just days before Atlanta show
Beyoncé's unreleased music has reportedly been stolen along with some luxury items from her choreographer's rental car. Image: Instagram Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour has kicked off with its fair share of iconic, scary and dramatic moments. Since its launch on April 28 at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the tour has been making headlines for all the right reasons. However, the latest development has added a dramatic twist to the tour's record, with unreleased music reportedly stolen in Atlanta during the tour's stop in the city. The theft took place on July 8, just two days before Beyoncé's first Atlanta performance as part of her four-night Cowboy Carter tour stop in the city. The police confirmed that unreleased music by Beyoncé was among several items stolen from a rental car used by the singer's choreographer, Christopher Grant and one of her dancers.

Other missing items included an Apple MacBook, headphones which belonged to the singer's daughter Blue Ivy, and a couple of luxury clothing items. According to reports, police tracked the location of the stolen MacBook and headphones, investigating an area where the devices had been detected, but there is no indication that any of the stolen items were found. Following an investigation, Atlanta police have issued an arrest warrant; however, the suspect's name has not been revealed to the public, and they remain on the run. Despite this setback, the Grammy-award-winning artist has continued to deliver her captivating performances on stage. Even with the latest drama surrounding the tour, the inception of the "Cowboy Carter" tour has been filled with some of the most heart-warming moments, like when Beyoncé shared the stage with her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi. And on a different note, a scary moment occurred during the Houston stop of the tour when Beyoncé's mid-air car prop malfunctioned, tilting dangerously during her performance of '16 Carriages'. The incident happened at NRG Stadium, where Beyoncé was suspended above the crowd in a red convertible. She calmly instructed the crew to 'stop' as the music paused, and the car was eventually lowered to the ground. After a brief delay, Beyoncé returned to the stage, thanking the crowd for their patience. The tour will officially come to an end after a stop at Las Vegas for two nights late in July.

The Wilsons' secret to love: how Ciara and Russell are connecting couples
'Ciara and Russell, if you're expanding your matchmaking business to regular folks, sign me up!' Image: Instagram 'This video is for Ciara and Russell Wilson only… if you're not them, please keep scrolling,' TikTok user Leezasmith shared her plea among many others. 'Ciara and Russell, if you're expanding your matchmaking business to regular folks, sign me up!' That's how a playful TikTok plea went viral recently. The internet has realised that the Wilsons might be doing more than couple dancing challenges - they're quietly becoming Hollywood's favourite real-life matchmakers. First, there was Normani and DK Metcalf's engagement, which the couple revealed that it had been sparked by their mutual friends Ciara and Russell. Just a few months later, fans celebrated as Grammy-winning singer Coco Jones and NBA player Donovan Mitchell announced they were tying the knot, again with a subtle Wilson connection behind the scenes. Congratulations to the pair. But what makes so many of us keep asking Ciara for 'the prayer' she famously made to meet Russell? And why, despite endless dating apps, do people still quietly hope a friend (or famous couple) might introduce them to their person? Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell's engagement set social feeds ablaze again. Both couples share one sweet link: the Wilsons. Image: Instagram Love in the age of swipes - but still dreaming of fate Modern dating can feel like an endless game of left and right swipes. But research shows that the classic ways of meeting still matter most. According to a 2022 study published in Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World, people are still most likely to meet their long-term partners through friends, family or work rather than dating apps. Dr Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist and chief scientific advisor for explains why: 'Love is not an algorithm; it's often a spark that grows through shared circles, familiarity, and trust.' In other words, even if we try to out-tech love, the heart still leans on old-fashioned networks. The same networks that Ciara and Russell seem to be curating beautifully for their friends. Ciara's 'prayer' and what it teaches us After her public breakup with rapper Future, Ciara spoke candidly in interviews (including with Angie Martinez in 2019) about praying for a partner who was 'God-fearing, who loves kids and who would love [me] to the highest capacity.' 'Ciara's prayer wasn't magic,' as internet sleuths might say. 'It was clarity and courage.' And maybe that's the secret ingredient the Wilsons are sharing when they introduce friends: the reminder to hold out for a kind of love that feels safe, joyful and true. The emotional pull of watching celebrity love stories unfold Normani and DK's engagement was more than just headlines; it gave fans a glimpse of love that looks patient and rooted. According to Vogue, the couple kept their romance mostly private until 2023, even though DK had set his sights years earlier after seeing Normani's 'Motivation' music video. Their engagement story included thoughtful details, like DK getting Russell's blessing on the ring, and Normani calling Ciara a close friend. "Russell and I knew when we introduced ya'll three years ago" Ciara said congratulating Normani and DK. Image: Instagram Then came Jones and Mitchell. The couple, who'd been dating quietly for two years, got engaged at a sunlit resort by the water. Their announcement was tender, low-key and deeply person, and Russell congratulated them on his Instagram Story, hinting at the couple's behind-the-scenes role: 'Thanks for allowing us to plan this with you Spida,' tagging his lifestyle brand @west2eastluxe. Why do we all crave what the Wilsons have? It's more than just fairytale optics. Relationship researcher Dr Terri Orbuch, known as 'The Love Doctor,' notes that watching couples who actively support each other and others often inspires hope. 'It's social proof that love isn't dead and that kindness, faith and patience still matter,' she explains in her book "5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great". And let's be honest: in a world that sometimes feels transactional, seeing genuine joy like DK telling Normani to 'hold that rock up, baby!' or Jones laughing mid-proposal hits something tender in all of us. The healthiest love isn't always fast, and that's okay. It took Ciara four years to meet Russell. Normani and DK dated quietly for three years. Jones and Mitchell kept their love private until it felt solid enough to share. The unspoken lesson? Whether or not you have a celebrity friend to connect the dots, love worth having often takes time, intention, and honesty with yourself and with the people you trust most. So, here's to hoping Ciara and Russell do launch a matchmaking service for us mere mortals.
