Chaos at Beyoncé's first tour: A group of women get into a shouting match, shoving, and punching in the VIP lounge at SoFi Stadium.

Armed with a powerful arsenal of dancers, showing her love for her homeland and accompanied at all times by her daughter Blue Ivy , Beyoncé began her Cowboy Carter tour presenting herself as the leader of a movement of struggle and empowerment of black women in the United States, reports Mikaela Viqueira for Efe.

The American star began this Monday in the city of Inglewood (California) the highly anticipated tour of her latest album Cowboy Carter , which will take her to several states in the USA before jumping to the United Kingdom and France , the only international dates of this show that has not been without problems, from ticket sales to the delay in the start of the concert, including an anecdote that has become viral: a spectacular fight between women in the VIP room of the SoFI Stadium in Inglewood.

A group of women, all dressed in the required cowgirl uniforms of the event, began shouting at each other in the stadium's VIP lounge before coming to blows, as the audience looked on in astonishment as they tried to calm the crowd, the Daily Mail reports.

It all started when, already immersed in shouting recriminations, one of the women, wearing a denim shirt, shorts, and white cowboy boots, separated from the group while another rushed up behind her and snatched her hat—also a cowboy hat, of course—with a swipe of her hand.

Another woman, this one wearing a denim dress, then stood between the two opponents to try to calm her companions down, but to no avail. The same fan who had thrown herself at one of the women's hats violently pushed the peacemaker and knocked her to the ground. The blow wasn't enough, and as she tried to get up, the spectator threw herself at her, preventing her from getting up.

Three other women entered the fray before a man managed to calm things down: "What is this, another show after Beyoncé's?" he shouted. An ironic scene in a show entirely dedicated to sisterhood and women's empowerment.

A show full of symbolism and history

With a nearly three-hour show that started an hour late, Queen Bee arrived dressed in white, wearing an outfit identical to the one she wore in the NFL Christmas special aired on Netflix. Like a harbinger, as if signaling to the thousands of attendees who invaded SoFi Stadium that they would once again see a star-studded performance, Beyoncé made her way onto a stage filled with American national symbols.

It was no coincidence that at the beginning of the concert she launched into singing the US national anthem, as calls for freedom for her country took on a relevant role in the narrative of the show with the exaltation of the black roots of country music, reports Efe.

"Never ask permission for something that has always belonged to you," read a banner on the screen behind her as " Freedom ," the anthem that propelled former US Vice President Kamala Harris's bid for power in the White House in the last election, began to play.

"This is for all the white women tonight," Beyoncé said after the song ended, while the screens continued to show images of historic moments in the conquest of spaces and rights by the Black community in the US.

With a visual aesthetic dominated by the colors of the American flag—red, white, and blue—the artist proclaimed "America's claim" and dedicated a poem to the Black American community. Abandoning her outfits, which pay homage to her homeland, Texas, the star offered no shortage of social criticism during her performance.

Out of nowhere, she appeared in front of a stage full of press microphones to perform America Has a Problem , dressed in a uniform with newspaper scraps that allude to the song's title.

Although the tour delves into Cowboy Carter 's identity by praising American artists who preceded her in this genre, Beyoncé had space to return to her origins by reviewing some of her previous hits, such as Diva or Formation .

Throughout the show , the artist was accompanied by her teenage daughter Blue Ivy Carter , who was part of the powerful group of dancers that accompanies Beyoncé in each show, although Rumi , another of her daughters, to whom she dedicated Protector , also made an appearance on stage for the first time.

From singing while riding a golden mechanical bull to flying over a packed stadium while sitting on a horseshoe singing Jolene , Beyoncé put on a show in which she danced, resurrected the legendary Crazy in Love and launched into her story of female empowerment.

She bid farewell to a nearly packed stadium with Amen , wearing a dress with the American flag and bringing onto the stage a resemblance to the Statue of Liberty, her mouth covered with a handkerchief and raising the torch in a sign of freedom.

Starters at McDonald's menu prices

Even with Beyoncé 's track record, where she usually surprises with gigantic and energetic shows in which she sings and dances simultaneously alongside dozens of dancers, the artist has faced an unusual challenge in ticket sales on this tour.

Half an hour before his show began, tickets ranged from $50 to $80, the same price as his upcoming Los Angeles concerts in the coming days. This represents a 75% drop from the $800 presale price , according to NBC.

Some internet users even claimed to have found resale tickets for just $20 , and went so far as to compare them to the cost of a McDonald's meal in the US.
