Beyoncé’s fans were buzzing with excitement over the prospect of a “Cowboy Carter” tour, but the superstar’s team has put those rumors to rest—for now. Instead, Beyoncé has shifted the spotlight to a new creative endeavor: the “Cowboy Carter Art Book”, inspired by her groundbreaking eighth studio album.
Announced by Beyoncé’ Parkwood Entertainment on Sunday, the limited-edition art book is available for preorder on the singer’s official website. The 136-page collection, priced at $74, offers fans exclusive, never-before-seen visuals drawn from the rich creative universe of Cowboy Carter. Designed to be a collector’s item, the book is a treasure trove for the BeyHive, giving them a closer look at the aesthetic and themes that have defined this era of her artistry.
Cowboy Carter made its unexpected debut earlier this year during a surprise Super Bowl commercial, accompanied by the hit singles “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ’Em.” The album not only shattered streaming records but also sparked conversations around its exploration of country music through a fresh lens, rooted in Black artistry and culture. Beyoncé’s ability to innovate and generate excitement with every project has left fans eagerly anticipating her next move.
The first live performance of tracks from Cowboy Carter is set to take place during the halftime show of the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game on Christmas Day at NRG Stadium in Houston—Beyoncé’s hometown. This appearance will mark a triumphant return to the Lone Star State and follows her participation in a campaign rally for presidential candidate Kamala Harris last month.
Speculation about a potential Cowboy Carter tour reached a fever pitch after the halftime show announcement, but Beyoncé’ publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, quickly shot down the rumors. “Untrue. Nothing to report here,” Noel-Schure posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Whenever there is news, you will hear it directly from the source.”
While a tour remains uncertain, fans can immerse themselves in the Cowboy Carter experience through the art book, which is set to begin shipping on December 13—just in time for the holidays. For those eager to celebrate Beyoncé’s creativity, this book is the perfect way to capture the magic of her latest chapter.
