The singer performed for the first time in two months, despite a wave of scandals surrounding her husband, rapper Jay-Z.

American artist Beyoncé, together with her daughter Blue Ivy, gave her first performance since the controversy involving Jay-Z. The 43-year-old star entered the stage at NRG Stadium in Houston, her hometown, riding a white horse. The song was performed during halftime of the National Football League game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans.

One of the evening’s most memorable moments was the performance of songs from her new album, Cowboy Carter. This marked the first live showcase of tracks from her latest release.

During the performance, Beyoncé made a finger gesture resembling a gun, sparking lively discussions on social media. Some saw it as a hidden message, while others noted that the gesture is commonly used by NFL players.

It’s worth noting that rapper Jay-Z has recently been accused of sexually assaulting a minor at a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The rapper has vehemently denied the allegations, calling them “ridiculous,” and his legal team is preparing his defense.

Despite the pressure, Beyoncé remains focused on her career. A source close to the singer revealed that the past few months have been challenging for her.

“These past few months have been a test, but she is determined to make her upcoming tour a success,” the insider shared.

The singer is reportedly planning to announce a new world tour and her ninth studio album in the coming weeks. Rumors suggest the tour will kick off in Los Angeles in the spring of 2025.
