After much speculation, Beyoncé has officially announced her highly anticipated stadium “Renaissance Tour.”
Seven years after her “Formation Tour” and five years after the “On The Run II Tour” with her husband Jay Z, the 28-time Grammy winner (and 88-time nominee!) will embark on her solo headlining “Renaissance Tour” in support of her critically acclaimed chart-topping 2022 album “Renaissance” all summer long.
She’s familiar with the venue too. The last show of her “Formation Tour” was at the Giants and Jets’ home stadium on Oct. 7, 2016. That time around, she brought Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar onstage with her.
Who will she bring this time? Will she sing the same songs she did at her recent Dubai concert?

Beyoncé “Renaissance” album
Knowles’ “Renaissance” was the most critically-acclaimed album of 2022 showing up on countless year-end lists as 2022’s best.
The 16-track album, clocking in at just a little over an hour was also extremely popular with fans as well quickly charting at number on the Billboard 200, making it Beyoncé’s seventh album to hit the top spot.
However, the record that brought the world “Break My Soul” may have more to it.
Beyoncé has hinted that the record is part of a three-part series; in a June 28, 2022 announcement she called it “Act I.”
Since the album’s release, it has undergone a few transformations.
According to Pitchfork, Beyoncé “replaced ableist lyrics in “Heated,” and removed an interpolation of Kelis’ “Milkshake” on “Energy” after Kelis said she was not informed by Beyoncé and her team that her music was going to be used on the new album.”
She also reportedly dropped Honey Dijon and Madonna remixes of “Break My Soul.”
Beyoncé Grammys
Beyonce’s seventh studio album “Renaissance,” netted nine Grammy nominations for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Dance/Electronic Recording, Best Dance/Electronic Album, Best R&B Performance, Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Song and Best Song Written For Visual Media.
The nine nominations tie Beyonce with her husband Jay Z for most all-time Grammy nominations with 88 apiece.
