Beyoncé’s Unreleased Music and Tour Plans Stolen in Atlanta Before Cowboy Carter Shows

Just days before Beyoncé took the stage in Atlanta for her Cowboy Carter Tour, a serious security breach occurred: her unreleased music and tour production materials were stolen.

According to a police report obtained by E! News, jump drives containing Beyoncé’s unreleased songs, show footage plans, and setlists were taken from a parked SUV belonging to her choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue on July 8 in Atlanta.

“Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,” the Atlanta Police Department reported. “Her hard drives for the upcoming show in Atlanta were stolen. These drives contained watermarked music, unreleased tracks, footage plans, and both past and future setlists.”

Theft Details and Police Action

Grant and Blue reported that the stolen items were inside suitcases, which also contained clothing, laptops, and a pair of AirPods Max. Atlanta police confirmed that an arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect, though the individual remains at large. The suspect’s identity has not been made public.

As of now, Beyoncé’s team has not released an official comment.

Beyoncé Pushes Forward With Atlanta Shows

Despite the theft, Beyoncé kicked off her four-night Atlanta performance series on July 10 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. She didn’t let the incident impact her energy on stage. During her July 13 show, fans witnessed a heartfelt moment between Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z.

In the middle of performing “Crazy in Love,” Beyoncé invited Jay-Z to join her onstage. The two shared a kiss before she exited, captivating the crowd and marking one of the evening’s highlights.

Beyoncé shares three children with Jay-Z: Blue Ivy, 13, and twins Rumi and Sir, both 8. Her Cowboy Carter Tour has been praised for its bold visuals and genre-bending performances, with Blue Ivy and Rumi also making occasional appearances on stage and in behind-the-scenes clips.
