Beyoncé Knowles-Carter performs during the "Renaissance World Tour" on Friday, August 11, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Fifteen minutes into the first night of the “Renaissance World Tour” stop at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter quickly found out the city of Atlanta was ready for her! Yes, the BeyHive here in Atlanta (plus members throughout the southeastern U.S. and around the world) have prepared for this night for about six months . Yes, she has performed in twenty-six cities prior to Atlanta and sure, snippets of each concert can be pieced together on social media. 

But, as the lights dimmed and the opening animations played on the screen and the clouds slowly revealed a portrait of Beyoncé, the crowd was agape with awe when the 32-time GRAMMY winner said, “Atlanta, Georgia… I love you!”

Phones were out and everyone stood while Beyoncé performed “Dangerously in Love,” while wearing a number by Guarav Gupta. Bey was styled by the great Shiona Turini . While we’re here, her makeup artist was Rokael Lizama. Her hair was styled by Neal Farinah, and her jewelry is from Tiffany & Co. Lastly, Bey stepped on stage wearing shoes by Christian Louboutin. 

“Dangerously in Love” was followed by “Flaws and All.” As Beyoncé sat on a silver grand piano, it was the opening salvo for what would be a 150 minute visual masterpiece. It must be noted, we won because the crowd was able to mute themselves while Bey performed “ENERGY.” That will be something the next two shows must live up to.

Throughout the show, Beyoncé performed songs from “Renaissance,” as expected. During the show, Bey weaved in her classics such as “Formation,” “Before I Let Go,” and various vamps which included her past hits like “Freakum Dress” from her 2006 album, “B’Day.”

Additionally, the crowd was able to sing the runs that Bey would normally perform during “Love on Top.” That was a moment. 

Bey took fans on her voyage to find a source to charge her inner being… assembly line frequency as she tapped her MPC , she also tweaked her show to include shoutouts to Grace Jones, a tribute to the late, great Tina Turner, Madonna, “Jilly from Philly” aka Jill Scott, and many others. 

Anytime a concert’s tour stops in Atlanta, there are subtle differences compared to any other tour stop. Yes, Bey performed in Nashville, Charlotte, and will later perform in Tampa, Miami and New Orleans. But an Atlanta tour stop has extra energy because our city embraces a star unlike anyone else. An Atlanta tour stop also means a visit to undoubtedly the most unapologetically Black city in America.

Plus, an Atlanta tour stop is star-studded. Usher and Jay Z were the most notable guests, which also included Kandi Burruss, Ms. Tina Lawson, Holly Robinson Pete, Kenya Moore, Teyana Taylor, Summer Walker , 2 Chainz and 21 Savage. Saturday night, Quavo, Porsha Guobadia, Chloe and Halle Bailey, Devale and Khadeen Ellis, plus T.S. Madison were among the celebrities in Club Renaissance.

An Atlanta tour stop will also mean concert-goers, as we like to say, “put that **** on!” Some fans spent thousands on their outfits while others chose to display their creativity in an attempt to pay the appropriate amount of homage to their favorite singer. In this case, the capacity crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium wore everything from the cowboy hats, silver pants, shorts, even chaps! 

A highlight of the show was seeing Amari Marshall take the stage as she danced with Blue Ivy Carter. Marshall took time away from the tour as she mourned the loss of her big brother, Andre, during the European leg of “Renaissance.” Amari is a choreographer that has previously worked with Ciara and Madonna, and she has taken Blue Ivy under her wing. 

Another notable highlight of the show that got everyone up was the vogue ballroom interlude which featured Honey Balenciaga, as she took the stage for her solo. The crowd was on their feet cheering because like I said earlier, Atlanta is a top three tour stop for anyone and everyone hoped Honey Balenciaga would be accounted for!

According to Billboard , Beyoncé’s European leg of her tour sold more than one million tickets and grossed $151.4 million. Additionally, according to Forbes , “Renaissance” could gross between $275 million and $2.4 billion from tickets alone by the time it ends on October 1st in Kansas City. Those estimates are based on a median ticket price of $700 per ticket. That does not include ticket sales on the secondary markets. 

Yes, $2.4 billion!

The fact is this: fans value the live event experience! The last time Beyoncé performed in Atlanta was in 2018 when the “On The Run” tour stopped at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Her last solo tour was in 2016 when she famously asked the ladies to “get in formation.”

After three sold out concerts with more than 155,000 people packing The Benz across three nights, Beyoncé’s Atlanta shows became the highest earning tour stop on her U.S. leg, bringing in a whopping $40 million over three sold out shows. Bey rightfully described herself:

“I’m one of one. I’m number one. I’m the only one.”

Beyoncé returned to the stage for first time in four years in January

Last month, Beyoncé made her return to the stage and performed at the opening of the Atlantis The Royal hotel in Dubai. Despite the luxury experience, the singer left fans wanting more, as she did not perform any songs from "Renaissance," The Hollywood Reporter reported.

The invitation-only event marked her first concert in more than four years. She last performed at the  Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 event in 2018.

Beyoncé dominates Grammy nominations

The singer's tour announcement comes days ahead of the Grammys where Beyoncé leads the 2023 lineup with nine nominations, including best dance/electronic album ("Renaissance"), best R&B performance ("Virgo’s Groove") and best traditional R&B performance ("Plastic Off the Sofa"). 

With 28 wins and 88 total career nominations, Beyoncé now ties her husband, rapper Jay-Z , for the most nominations in Grammy history. If Beyoncé picks up four or more awards this year, she will surpass the late Georg Solti for the most Grammy wins of all time. (The Hungarian-born conductor holds the record with 31.)

Beyoncé called out by Monica Lewinsky: over 'Partition' lyric after ableism controversy

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have got "to be the most intense power couple in the history of music," Recording Academy president Harvey Mason Jr. Mason said after the nominations were revealed. "That’s music and Grammy royalty – that’s the royal family."

Their combined 176 nominations are "absolutely a testament to their talent, to their level of excellence, to their work ethic, to their level of greatness over a long period of time. I don’t even know what the next (leading) couple would be, but it’s not anywhere close.”

Beyoncé's 'Break My Soul.' Taylor Swift's 'Anti-Hero.'  These are the 10 best songs of 2022, ranked.

Beyoncé noticeably was not nominated in any of the music video categories for the Grammys, having not released any album visuals for "Renaissance" since its debut.

The announcement photo may look familiar to fans, as she donned the same glittery attire on the cover of her seventh studio album. Bey also added “Renaissance World Tour” on her Instagram bio, further accenting the news. Last week, Beyonce performed a full concert for the first time in four years at a luxury resort in Dubai in front of influencers and journalists. The 19-song set included a collaboration with her oldest daughter Blue Ivy as the two performed “Brown Skin Girl,” which earned them a Grammy two years ago for best music video.

Crowned a triumphant win by music lovers, Renaissance stormed to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last year and rattled off two Hot 100 top 10 hits, including her chart-topper “Break My Soul.” The dance-centric album also notched nine Grammy nominations, the most for any nominee for this year’s ceremony. Bey is looking to rack up more trophy wins, as she currently sits at a staggering 28 wins. Nominated for album of the year, song, and record of the year, Bey is facing some stout competition , especially in the former. The R&B juggernaut will tango against Adele, Harry Styles, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, and more for album of the year. A win in this category would serve as Beyonce’s first. The 65th Grammy Awards will occur Sunday night in Los Angeles at 8 pm EST.

Beyoncé Announces ‘Renaissance’ 2023 World Tour

By Larisha Paul

Another Ticketmaster war is on the horizon as the BeyHive prepares for battle. After weeks of speculation, Beyoncé has officially confirmed a world tour in support of Renaissance , scheduled to make stops in stadiums across the world in 2023 .

The musician confirmed the news on Wednesday morning. The tour will begin in Europe this May before landing in North America on July 8 with back-to-back nights at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. The tour will make stops in Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and more.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce)

The Renaissance tour marks Beyoncé’s first extended stretch on the road since the On the Run tour, which made 48 stops across North America and Europe in 2018. Those shows were proceeded by the singer’s redefining Coachella performance, which arrived as the Netflix concert film Homecoming the following year.

The clips sparked multiple viral moments, the most notable being Beyoncé’s new vocal arrangements on familiar records, including “Drunk in Love” and “Countdown.” The private concert, notably, did not include any Renaissance tracks on the setlist, even the chart-topping lead single “Break My Soul.”

The tour announcement arrives as a saving grace for a starved BeyHive, still yearning for any meaningful visual companion pieces to the singer’s acclaimed seventh studio album. If Beyoncé is heading on the road again, maybe the wait for the music videos she teased in the record release trailer won’t be too much longer.

Eric Carmen, Former Raspberries Member and 'Hungry Eyes' Singer, Dead at 74

Al pacino's best picture presentation was 'peak performance' and you can't convince us otherwise, news agencies call recent kate middleton photo 'manipulated', team trump begs him to keep his mouth shut at nyc criminal trial, editor’s picks, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

“As is customary for her, she layers the album with enough totems to fuel a million think pieces and dissertations,” Rolling Stone shared of Renaissance . “Yet it’s also possible to simply dance and vibe to the music. This is Beyoncé at her joyous peak, and you won’t get it unless you pull the “plastic off the sofa,” “drop it like a thottie,” and enjoy Queen Bey at her thrilling best.”

Beyoncé Crowned Atlanta, Georgia As The New ‘Eerbody On Mute War’ Winner

Flisadam Pointer

Wherever it travels, Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour is the hottest ticket in town. On Friday, August 11, ahead of her first night of shows in Atlanta, Georgia, city officials declared the date an official holiday, “Beyoncé Day.” But that wasn’t the only thing city natives did to show their love for Beyoncé.

On Saturday, August 12, during night two of her Renaissance World Tour , concertgoers proved they were the singer’s most devoted fans by dethroning Washington, DC, of their crown of the “ Eerbody On Mute War ” winners. The contest started as a fun crowd engagement moment to see which fans could play into her song “Energy,” namely, “Look around / Everybody on mute,” call for quiet; it’s since turned into a battle of the most devoted regional Beyhives.

Once it was time for the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to go silent, they flawlessly hit their mark, and Beyoncé gleefully declared the Atlanta audience as the new “Eerbody On Mute” challenge winners.

Earlier in the show, Beyoncé opened up to the sold-out stadium about what the tour means to her. “This is the gratitude tour,” she said. “This show is all about joy. I hope y’all feel a lot of joy. When I get up on this stage and see y’all, that’s what I feel. Y’all look beautiful tonight.”

‘Bey Day’: Atlanta Grants Beyoncé Her Own Holiday For Renaissance Tour

It is “Bey Day” In Atlanta. This past weekend, Beyoncé graced the Georgia capital at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a three-show stint for her Renaissance World Tour, performing each nigh to crowds filled with the singer’s fans and ultimate Bey-Hive members within the city.

As reported by UpRoxx , Atlanta decided to show extra love to the songstress with the honor of a “Beyoncé Day.” The Atlanta City Council officially recognized the holiday celebrating the acclaimed singer on Aug. 11.

The council released a statement on Beyoncé’s impact not only within the southern city, but across the world for decades.

“The Atlanta City Council is honored to recognize Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, a highly acclaimed and revered singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman, whose extraordinary contributions to the realms of music, entertainment, and philanthropy have made her one of the influential cultural figures of the 21st century,” as stated by the proclamation.

The statement also detailed the mother of three’s accomplishments, including  her 32 Grammy awards and 24 NAACP Image Awards. Her advocacy for marginalized groups, like the LGBTQ+ community, was also highlighted within the document.

“As an accomplished singer, songwriter, and producer, Beyoncé has continuously pushed the boundaries of creativity, using her art to tell stories that resonate with diverse audiences and advocate for social change,” the statement continued. “[…] And her groundbreaking performances and unapologetic celebration of her heritage have inspired millions to embrace their individuality and embrace their roots with pride.”

After the first cohort of Atlanta Bey-Hive won her viral “everybody on mute” challenge, it’s clear that Atlanta holds the global icon in high esteem. Atlanta-bred artists have also been in attendance at the shows, including former Migos member Quavo and singers Chloe and Halle Bailey, who are also signed to the “Cuff It” the songstress’ label, Parkwood Entertainment. As she completes her trio of performances within the Peach State, her influence and legacy will continue to be felt within the culture of Atlanta.

Beyonce Renaissance Album

Club Renaissance will run for at least 40 dates, mainly in stadiums, and make stops at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey (July 29) and at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. (Sept. 2) amid dates in Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Atlanta, Phoenix and Miami.

ELA TEM O POVO! E ainda tá chegando mais… #RenaissanceWorldTour https://t.co/C2u6Wsb0KL — Beyoncé Access (@beyonceaccess) May 10, 2023

Beyoncé performed her first full concert in four years  in January at the new Atlantis Royal Resort in Dubai. It was an elaborate and highly theatrical performance — for which sources say she was paid some $24 million — with an all-female orchestra, a battery of dancers, a small lake, fireworks, a 50-foot hydraulic platform, three costume changes for the singer and a guest appearance from her and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy, but no songs at all from “Renaissance.”

Her last official tour was the “On the Run II” tour with Jay in 2018, which was tied to their joint album, “Everything Is Love,” by the duo billed as the Carters. That same year, she headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival but her last solo trek was behind her previous solo album, “Lemonade,” in 2016.
