Beyoncé is busy in the midst of her sold-out Cowboy Carter Tour, and thus far, everything has gone smoothly, despite a few hiccups. The biggest hiccup was reported on July 8, as the Grammy winner had some of her personal belongings stolen, including unreleased music that had not been heard by the public.
The robbery occurred on July 8, when Beyoncé was in Atlanta for the tour. Sometime during her performance, a suspect broke into one of her dancers, Diandre Blue's and her choreographer, Christopher Grant's rented Jeep Wagoneer, and stole not only unreleased music (which we so want to hear!) but also set lists for future concerts, Apple headphones, Tom Ford sunglasses, designer clothes, shoes, MacBooks, and flash drives, which contained vital information.
Vehicle break-ins are common in Atlanta, and Beyoncé's happened when Blue and Grant grabbed a bite to eat around 8 PM EST and were gone for an hour, not too far from the stadium where the "Crazy In Love" singer was performing.. When they returned, their car's trunk window was smashed in, and their personal effects were gone.
Atlanta police released the 911 call from the men, confirming the gravity of the situation. In the exchange, the caller mentioned a high-status individual, but no name was disclosed. They were determined to be the one and only Beyoncé.
Details from the call are below.
"They have my computers and it’s really, really important information in there. I work with, um, someone who’s, like, of a high status, and I really need my computer and everything.”
Beyoncé's suspect is still at large
Police might have an idea of who the suspect is, thanks to one of the MacBook's sophisticated GPS tracking systems, which can locate the item and the person. Despite this information, authorities haven't apprehended the suspect, nor have they received a physical description; however, they are proceeding on the fact that the suspect drives a 2025 Hyundai Elantra. An arrest warrant was also issued, and police say that the investigation is ongoing.
Beyoncé hasn't made a statement regarding the incident or her missing items, but she has been keeping busy with her tour, which will continue through July 28. On a financial note, Cowboy Carter has generated over $300,000 so far, making it one of the most profitable tours in history. Her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter, have been part of the concert experience by performing onstage with their mother. Jay-Z (Beyoncé's husband) has been singing along with his wife.
The album, Cowboy Carter, won the Grammy for Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammys.
