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.

New Balance recruits Rosalía as new global ambassador
American sportswear giant New Balance on Wednesday announced the appointment of Spanish pop sensation Rosalía as its new global brand ambassador. Marking the partnership, the Grammy-award-winning artist stars in a five-part cinematic campaign that opens with the musician at the New Balance headquarters in Boston, leading to the unveiling of a custom painting of the debut New Balance x Rosalía logo. The campaign will also feature the latest lifestyle shoe from New Balance, the 204L, which offers the low-profile look of retro runners in all-over suede with 2000's tech, according to a press release. The new New Balancce 204L will release globally in July through New Balance retail channels. 'My love for fashion and design has only grown over the years. I've always been a fan of New Balance, and that's why working with the brand is especially exciting for me. I love how New Balance has brought sport and culture closer together in recent years and I couldn't be more excited and grateful to be an ambassador,' said Rosalía. Born in Sant Cugat del Vallès in 1992, Rosalía is a two-time Grammy and 12-time Latin Grammy Award-winning artist and producer, known for her atypical pop songs. The singer shot to fame in 2018 with her sophomore album "El Mal Querer". The record earned her a Grammy and eight Latin Grammys, including Album of the Year, and marking her as the first Spanish-language artist nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys. Four years later, she released her "Motomami" album, which the multi-hyphenate wrote, performed, recorded, and produced, before taking the record on a sold-out world tour. 'Rosalia reflects the celebration of independence that the New Balance brand has represented since 1906. We are honored to welcome her into our family with the goal of personifying her creativity, unique individuality, and courage to defy convention. Rosalia is much more than a globally renowned cultural icon. She doesn't follow trends, she creates them. Together, we will rewrite the rules through a coauthored strategy focusing on product and storytelling – being atypical is what unites us,' said Chris Davis, brand president and chief marketing officer at New Balance, whose other celebrity ambassadors include Jaden Smith, Storm Reid, Selena Samuela, Kawhi Leonard, Sydney McLaughlin and Coco Gauff.
