Beyoncé recently returned to Washington for the second night of her “The Renaissance World Tour.” Accordingly, the show was scheduled to start at 20:00, but due to bad weather conditions, the organizers had to play loudspeakers reminding fans to find temporary shelter.

“Due to the thunderous situation in the area, fans who are outside the stadium and in the parking lot please return to their cars. Fans staying in the stadium should find a place to stay in the area until further notice,” the organizer said. It wasn’t until half an hour later that the show got underway.

At the same time, station management in Washington DC suddenly announced that 98 metro stations would operate for an additional hour: “The extension of operating hours also means that #BeyHive can stay and enjoy the party and still be able to return home by subway.”

It is known that diva Beyoncé and the organizers of “The Renaissance World Tour” spent $ 100,000 (about VND 2.4 billion) so that fans can return home safely after the performance.

This generous move of the singer immediately received praise from fans, even though the concert was postponed due to force majeure weather, they still patiently waited to hear her sing. It is the care and appreciation of the audience and crew that have contributed to the success of Beyoncé and her “sold-out” tours.

The “Renaissance World Tour” is the 9th tour of Beyoncé’s singing career, expected to attract more than 1.6 million viewers over 56 nights. Both Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are competing for the spot as the most successful female touring artist in history.

While Beyoncé holds the record for 9 out of 10 nights by the highest-grossing female artist of all time, Taylor’s ” The Eras Tour” figures have yet to be made public.

However, Beyoncé’s act of spending big money today, makes fans suddenly think of Taylor Swift’s generosity before. When the pop star is ready to reward 5 million USD (nearly 119 billion VND) for the team of drivers to transport necessary equipment for the concert.

On the other hand, Taylor Swift’s crew is also very quick to support and monitor the reactions of fans on social media, ensuring the Swifties always have the best “swinging show” experience.

Although Beyoncé currently has a concert record with a high gross surpassing Taylor Swift, but before that, a diva’s concert was pointed out by people that sold less tickets than the pop star many times.

Specifically, the official social media page of Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh) has released information about Beyoncé canceling the show here on the evening of August 3, 2023 due to technical reasons and schedule changes. All tickets purchased by spectators, will be refunded to the payment account at the earliest. Later concerts in Seattle, Kansas City were also rescheduled to a few days later.

At this time, the mayor of Pittsburgh expressed great disappointment when Beyoncé did not show as planned: “We are ready to welcome her to Pittsburgh and honor her with an official holiday. We are also talking to the organisers of the show to understand the problem, and also trying to make arrangements if there is a new venue or a new date.”

Accordingly, many internal sources said that Beyoncé’s team assessed the space of Acrisure Stadium as too small to set up the grand stage of the “Renaissance World Tour”.

Worth mentioning, Taylor Swift also performed on the same stadium in the framework of “The Eras Tour” not long ago (the evening of June 16 and 17), attracting a total of 146 thousand audiences. She also became the first artist, performing at this stadium 2 consecutive nights in 1 tour.

At the same time, the show “The Eras Tour” on June 17 set the record for the largest audience ever to Acrisure Stadium with an impressive number: 73,117 attendees. In addition, the stage of “The Eras Tour” has a level of investment, the area certainly cannot be lost to “Renaissance World Tour”.

Therefore, before the information that the diva’s crew gave the reason for canceling the show, lying in the fact that the area of the field was too small, not being able to set up the stage for Beyoncé, netizens immediately sarcastic. Many of them also pointed out that the real problem is that ticket sales for Beyoncé’s show are very slow, far behind the speed of ticket sales of the Taylor Swift show.
