Beyoncé tour chaos on night one as first Cowboy Carter gig disrupted by fight
Pop superstar Beyonce kicked off her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour in Los Angeles last night yet chaos erupted as fans brawled while leaving the show The first night of Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour descended into chaos as a fight erupted in the VIP section. The pop superstar kicked off her highly anticipated tour in Los Angeles on Monday night, with surprise appearances from her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi. However, the excitement of seeing Queen Bey got too much for some fans as they brawled with each other at SoFi Stadium following the show. A group of women, who were all dressed in denim and cowboy attire, clashed with each other as they screamed in their faces. Onlookers watched on as others tried to get the women to stop. One of the women appeared to walk away from the group, yet another Beyonce fan swooped in and smacked her hat off her head. Someone else stepped in to de-escalate the situation, which failed. The woman who knocked the hat off then charged at another fan and pushed her to the ground. As the concertgoer tried to get back to their feet, she was pushed back down by the same woman. Three others then joined in the fight as yet another woman was knocked to the floor. A man eventually came in between them while a woman could be heard saying: "I'm mad." Another added: "What's going on?!" A man could then be heard quipping: "'Another show after the Beyoncé show?," as he helped a woman up. Tensions finally cooled off when the group started to disperse, as shown in the clip seen by Daily Mail. Earlier on the night, Beyoncé wowed fans as she returned to the stage and kicked off the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She was joined by her youngest daughter Rumi in a surprise appearance for the very first time. While Blue Ivy is no stranger to the stage as she has previously joined her mum with dance routines for previous gigs, Rumi was a little more excited to be standing in front of such a huge crowd. The seven-year-old rocked a gold feathered dress as she stood by her mum's side. Rumi couldn't contain her excitement as she jumped up and down and waved at the audience. Blue Ivy danced behind her famous mum during hit Protector and sister while Rumi continued waving. "Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own, I will be your protector," Beyoncé crooned. At one point, young Rumi got overwhelmed and turned around to hug Beyoncé before Blue escorted her off stage. The family touches didn't end there as a montage of Beyoncé and her children, including Blue, Rumi and her twin brother Sir, played on the screens in the stadium at the end of the show.
