Beyoncé Replaces Sphere in Cowboy Carter Tour Visuals Following Cease-and-Desist

Beyoncé has switched out Las Vegas’ Sphere for Allegiant Stadium in the campy visuals for her “Cowboy Carter” tour after receiving a cease-and-desist from the owner of Sphere.

The famous LED -lit venue was originally featured in a clip where a gigantic version of Beyoncé picks up the Sphere in her hands. However, during her third of five nights at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood this weekend, it’s clear the image of the Sphere was replaced with Allegiant Stadium, where Beyoncé is scheduled to perform on July 25.

The New York Post was the first to report the news of the cease-and-desist on May 2. In a letter published by the Post, and allegedly issued by the Sphere, the venue said it was “never asked” to be featured on the tour (seeing that Beyoncé is not scheduled to play the venue on this trek), “and the prominent appearance and manipulation of SEG’s Sphere venue in the video is unauthorized.”

Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment further amplified the news after posting the edited version of the tour visual — with Allegiant Stadium as the replacement — on Instagram, writing, “What happens in Vegas starts with a bang.”

Representatives for Beyoncé and Sphere did not immediately return Variety‘s requests for comment.

Beyoncé is scheduled to play two more nights in Los Angeles on May 7 and May 9. She will then take “Cowboy Carter” — and it’s new visuals — to the Soldier Field in Chicago for three nights starting on May 15. The lineup includes dates in the United Kingdom and France, both scheduled to take place in June.

Kendrick Lamar fans go wild during Grand National performance in Argentina

Kendrick Lamar continues to be one of the most talked-about figures in hip-hop, often sparking intense debate among fans and critics alike. Still, for those attending his “Grand National” tour, the experience has been nothing short of unforgettable. The rapper performed in Argentina last night (Saturday, October 4) at the Estadio Monumental, and clips shared by NFR Podcast and Complex Music on Instagram captured a packed crowd having the time of their lives.

That said, Kendrick’s South American “Grand National” run hasn’t been completely smooth. This has nothing to do with the online chatter about ticket sales, pricing rumors, or claims from critics and Drake supporters, all of which remain unverified. The real issue stems from the canceled concert in Bogotá, Colombia, which left disappointed fans waiting for hours. While the exact reason hasn’t been fully confirmed, local reports suggest that the cancellation was due to structural problems at the Vive Claro Stadium, security complications on the day of the show, and intervention from city officials to ensure safety. Still, the footage from his Argentina performance shows that despite setbacks, fans were treated to a truly electric night.

Kendrick Lamar Grammys

Elsewhere, Kendrick Lamar is already looking ahead to 2026, having officially submitted his work for Grammy consideration. The Recording Academy is expected to announce nominations in early November, and fans are eager to see which of his entries will make the final cut. Among his submissions are the GNX album for Album of the Year, “luther” featuring SZA for Record and Song of the Year, and several collaborations from 2025 vying for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. If he takes home four awards this cycle, and Jay-Z doesn’t win any, Kendrick will become the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.

Meanwhile, some of Kendrick’s earlier projects are still reaching new milestones. His collaboration with Travis Scott, “goosebumps,” has officially become the highest-certified hip-hop track of all time. With achievements like these continuing to stack up, it’s easy to see why fans and critics hold K.Dot to such high expectations when it comes to touring, chart success, and influence. He has one more stop left in Chile before taking his show to Australia later this year.
