The person responsible for this metamorphosis was Beyoncéwho began his tour “Cowboy Carter”In New Jersey. It was not a simple concert; it was a statement. The pop queenfar from limiting himself to a genre, he presented a show that merged his undeniable talent with the strength of a reintegrated and reinvented country sound.
“This Ain’t Texas,” Beyoncé declared at the beginning of “Texas Hold ‘EM’, the success led by pop and country lists last year. However, the atmosphere in the Metlife Stadiumwith its sea of cowboy hats, boots and Western outfits (accompanied by some waterproof by the unexpected rain), transmitted an unmistakably high -tender energy.
The presentation was not a simple concession to the country genre. Beyoncé, far from being an artist limited by conventions, took the opportunity to claim their roots and break barriers. From the interpretation of its country version of “Blackbird” Of the Beatles, even an emotional “The Star-Spangled Banner”, Beyoncé appropriated the stage with a force and security that left everyone out of breath.
The evening offered a tour of different facets of its wide repertoire. Intimate moments with songs such as “Aligator Tears” and “Just for Fun”, contrasted with the grandiosity of dazzling choreographies and impressive visual effects, which included a memorable scene with Beyoncé riding a mechanical bull in “Tyrant” and flying over the stage in a huge hardware during its “Jolene” version of Dolly Parton.
The concert, which extended for almost three hours, not only included songs from his Grammy winning album, “Cowboy Carter”, but also classics such as “Crazy in Love” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” The night also booked special moments for songs such as “Irreplaceable” and “If i were a boy”, recovered from their previous tours and that managed to light the public with the strength of generational hymns.
Beyoncé was not alone. His daughters, Blue Ivy (13 years) and Rumi (7 years), joined the celebration. Blue Ivy shone with an impeccable recreation of the “Deja Vu” dance, while Rumi captivated with his appearance in “protector”, wrapped in a white skin shelter, stealing the heart of the public.
