Beyoncé kicked off her “Renaissance” tour last night in Sweden. Unsurprisingly, there have been plenty of headlines coming from the first night of the tour. Before the show even started, parts of the setlist were leaked. A fan that got their hands on the tour book uploaded a video that shows a preliminary setlist. Now that the first night of the tour has concluded, fans finally have the full, 36-song setlist. However, even beyond the songs, there were plenty of entertaining moments for fans the world over to take in. Beyoncé was extremely shady on the first night of her tour.
First, the singer shaded demanding fans. Since the release of Beyoncé’s latest album last year, fans have been begging for some sort of visuals. A segment of Beyoncé’s set provided a very direct response to this question. In the intro to “Formation,” a narrator provides a voice-over as the words are displayed on huge screens. “You’ve asked for the visuals,” the disembodied voice says. “...but a queen moves at her own pace, b*tch.” Queen Bey also seemingly shaded Donald Glover for his show Swarm. The show revolves around a fan obsessed with a Beyoncé-like pop star. During one segment of the show where Beyoncé is dressed as a literal queen bee, she said, "Swarm these hands, n*gga."
Beyoncé Fan Is Escorted Out In Cuffs
Beyoncé fans are infamous for their passion and unwavering support of the iconic artist. However, it appears that a fan took their enthusiasm just a bit too far at the "Renaissance" Tour. According to a video shared among Beyoncé fans online, the fan was arrested during the show for allegedly trespassing into the exclusive "Club Renaissance" area. The cordoned-off area offers VIP treatment with a team of concierges and hosts. Regrettably, the fan seemed to be unaware that the term "concierge team" likely includes high-level security personnel.
It may have just begun, but Beyoncé's tour has already generated more than its fair share of headlines. In addition to the major shade thrown and fans being arrested, Beyoncé performed Lil Uzi Vert's viral "Just Wanna Rock" dance. As the tour continues, we can surely expect daily headlines. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates on Beyoncé and the "Renaissance" tour.
