Beyoncé stunned on tour! Unreleased songs stolen

A vehicle belonging to singer Beyoncé was burglarized while parked near Krog Street Market in Atlanta on Tuesday, July 8.

Beyoncé's choreographer and one of her dancers on the Cowboy Carter tour said thieves broke into their vehicle and stole numerous items, including jump drives full of unreleased music, footage of her upcoming concerts, and past and future set lists.

The alleged robbery, first reported by Channel 2 in Atlanta, occurred less than 48 hours before the singer was scheduled to perform at the city's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. According to the Guardian, an Atlanta police spokesman told Channel 2's Michael Seiden that the robbery occurred just after 8 p.m. in a parking lot at Krog Street Market. According to the police report, choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue told police they parked a rented black Jeep Wagoneer in the garage around 8 p.m. Upon returning to the vehicle, they discovered the trunk window had been damaged and two suitcases had been stolen. Grant told police the suitcases contained "personal sensitive information belonging to musician Beyoncé," including hard drives related to upcoming Atlanta shows, watermarked music, unreleased music, and past and future set lists. Representatives for the singer did not respond to requests for comment.

FOLLOW FROM AIRPODS

Grant and Blue also reported that clothing, designer sunglasses, a laptop, and a pair of headphones were stolen from the vehicle. “Based on information provided to me, I conducted a suspicious stop in the area. There were also several cars in the area with AirPods sending signals. Upon further investigation, a silver [redacted] AirPods that had entered Area 5 was traveling at the same time as the pursuit,” an officer wrote in the report.

Police also questioned a man whose name Channel 2 declined to release until they officially identify a suspect.

Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles at the end of April in support of her Grammy-winning 2024 album, which aims to expand the boundaries and reach of country music. The show, which garnered critical acclaim for its evolving setlist and elaborate visuals, crisscrossed the US before heading to Europe throughout the summer. She will perform her fourth and final show in Atlanta on Monday evening before wrapping the tour in Las Vegas on July 26.
