Singer Beyonce brought the "Rodeo Chitlin Circuit" to London as she kicked off the European leg of her "Cowboy Carter" tour, paying homage to Black contributions to country music in a nearly three hour show.

The AMAs treated “Cowboy Carter” as if it were country music (it's not) and gave Beyonce awards for female country artist and country album.

Rumours of poor ticket sales have plagued Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour, and prices have been slashed in a bid to get bums on seats. Whatever her team did, it worked – there was barely room to dance as a sea of clacking fans in cowboy hats invaded Tottenham Hotspurs’ home ground for the first of her six London shows.
