‘Cowboy Carter’ came in at Number Seven on NME‘s 50 best albums of 2024 list, with ’16 Carriages’ named the eighth best song of the year.
Earlier this year, Beyoncé also won the coveted Album Of The Year award at the Grammys 2025 with the record. With a total of 99 nods, she singer is now the most nominated artist in Grammy history. She also holds the record for most Grammy wins, now with 35. Additionally, she is the first Black woman to have won the Best Country Album prize.
When ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour hit the capital at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this year, it earned her a glowing five-star review, with Nick Levine writing for NME: “As a performer, she remains pretty much flawless – who else can sing from a bucking mechanical bull without missing a note? And as a creator of stadium spectacle, she keeps getting better. No one leaving this show will be removing their cowboy hat on the ride home.”
Beyoncé last hit the road in 2023 in support of her previous studio album, ‘Renaissance’. It was one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, taking in a reported $579million (£455.7million) in revenue.
