Beyoncé Adds Medley of ‘Crazy in Love,’ ‘Single Ladies,’ and More Hits to Night 2 of Cowboy Carter Tour

Beyoncé had a surprise in store for the Beyhive at her Cowboy Carter Tour on Thursday (May 1). During her second of five nights at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., the superstar added a new medley to the setlist encompassing past hits such as “Crazy in Love,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” and more.

Queen Bey kicked off the live compilation with a swaggering, slowed down version of her No. 1 hit from 2003’s Dangerously in Love before ratcheting up the tempo to the instantly recognizable strains of “Single Ladies,” which earned the icon her first Grammy Award for song of the year in 2010.

After coming to an abrupt break at the end of “Single Ladies,” Beyoncé proclaimed, “Bring the beat in!” to usher in a shortened rendition of 2012’s “Love on Top.” However, rather than opt to send her vocals into the rafters with the 4-era favorite’s litany of modulating key changes, the singer quickly pivoted to the hook of B’Day smash “Irreplaceable.”

Finally, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer finished off the five-song medley with a massive sing-along to “If I Were a Boy,” asking the ecstatic crowd, “Y’all gon’ help me?” before belting out the song’s first verse. “If I were a boy, I think I could understand/ How it feels to love a girl/ I swear I’d be a better man/ I’d listen to her/ ‘Cause I know how it hurts/ When you lose the one you wanted/ ‘Cause you’re taking her for granted/ And everything you have got destroyed,” she later sang on the chorus before the song morphed into Dolly Parton’s cheeky intro to “Jolene.”

Night two of the Cowboy Carter Tour also included a special moment during which Beyoncé invited her mother, Tina Knowles, onstage to congratulate her on the success of her New York Times bestselling memoir, Matriarch.
