Is Beyoncé going on a Cowboy Carter tour? Tina Knowles has answered.

The Grammy-winner’s mother attended the premiere of Challengers, the tennis-centered film starring Zendaya. While walking the carpet, Knowles was asked if her daughter would be taking the album on the road for another blockbuster tour.

“You’ll have to ask her,” she smiled before turning away. The vague answer did not totally shut down the idea, but it does not seem like Knowles was going to divulge any more of her daughter’s secrets.

While she didn’t have much of an answer about another concert run, Knowles did open up about the “Texas Hold ‘Em” songstress tapping into her country roots for a full-length album. Following tracks on her Lemonade and I Am… Sasha Fierce albums, the fashion designer was not surprised that her daughter ventured even further into the genre.

“Well she’s done country music before. Several of her songs, ‘If I Were A Boy,’ ‘Daddy Lessons,’ just many of them have had that tinge because she grew up in Texas and Louisiana and that is a big influence. So I was not surprised at all.”

Beyoncé recently spent a triumphant five months on the road last year in support of her Renaissance album. The record was the first of three acts that the singer had prepared for release, but it was not always the first choice to launch the series.

The “16 Carriages” musician has previously revealed that Cowboy Carter was going to drop first, but she felt that Renaissance was a better choice following the pandemic.

“I was initially going to put Cowboy Carter out first, but with the pandemic, there was too much heaviness in the world. We wanted to dance. We deserved to dance. But I had to trust God’s timing,” she said.

While the Renaissance tour did not have a set opening act, Cowboy Carter has a few collaborators that would be prime choices as openers. Musical artists like Shaboozey, Willie Jones, Tanner Adell, and Brittney Spencer are featured on the album and could be reasonable choices as opening acts.

The Renaissance tour also included special guest appearances from Megan Thee Stallion and Diana Ross, who joined Beyonce onstage for special duets. Cowboy Carter hosts an exciting lineup of guest talent, including Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Linda Martell, and Dolly Parton, who would presumably be interested in popping up to perform with the singer at select tour stops.

Following the conclusion of the Renaissance tour, Beyoncé released a special concert film that documented her experience on the road with the record. It featured an inside look at the preparation and conception of the tour, as well as rare, up-close angles of the “Alien Superstar” powerhouse performing the sold-out concert.

Known for her live performances, Beyoncé has yet to perform a song from Cowboy Carter live. She also has not dropped any music videos, similarly to the Renaissance era.

“II Most Wanted” with Cyrus is the current single from the album, being sent to radio stations this week.
