Fans spot major change to Beyonce set after Cowboy Carter tour legal drama

Fans have spotted a major change to Beyoncé’s set after she was hit with a cease-and-desist letter for a display during her recent concert amid the star’s ‘chaotic’ Cowboy Carter tour.

As the 43-year-old superstar received a strongly-worded email over the use of the Las Vegas Sphere in her tour visuals as she has since made an edit as it has been now changed to Allegiant Stadium where she is actually playing the concert in Sin City.

The change-up in visuals was revealed by PopBase on Sunday as some commenters were not amused as one wrote: ‘I can tell the CGI was so rushed.’

She had previously kicked off her country concert tour in Los Angeles last week and a video of herself which played on the screen at one point has now put her at risk of legal trouble. 

She received a strongly worded letter from attorneys for Madison Square Garden boss James Dolan for imagery shown during her first two shows, according to Page Six. 

In the legal document, she was threatened to remove a sequence from her concerts which depicted her picking up the Las Vegas Sphere and toying with it.

The 32-time Grammy winner was at one time rumored to be doing a residency at the Sphere.

However, that appears to fully debunked after the owner of the Knicks, Radio City Music Hall as well as MSG sent her the cease-and-desist document.

In fan-taken footage, a towering, giant-sized Beyoncé was seen striding through the recognizable Las Vegas skyline before picking up the venue. 

‘Beyoncé — many orders of magnitude larger than the Sphere venue — leans over, picks up the venue, and looms over it,’ read the legal document penned by Dolan’s attorney Kathleen McCarthy of the law firm King & Spalding, per the outlet.

The letter was sent to Beyoncé’s production company Parkwood Entertainment. 

Sphere accused Beyoncé, who they claim has never visited the venue, of ‘impermissible use and violation’ of the company’s intellectual property rights, which ‘has resulted in significant that Beyoncé will end her tour with a Sphere residency.’ 

The cease-and-desist letter continued: ‘SEG [Sphere Entertainment Group] was never asked and the prominent appearance and manipulation of SEG’s Sphere venue in the video is unauthorized.’ 

Dolan and his company has given Beyoncé a Monday ᴅᴇᴀᴅline to remove the imagery from her concert shows. 

If she fails to comply, Dolan’s SEG said it ‘reserves all rights to take further action.’ 

They demanded that Beyoncé’s production company to immediately ‘cease and desist from using the Sphere venue in the video immediately — in addition to refraining from using this imagery on any merchandise, promotional or marketing materials, or in tour movies.’

The news comes one day after Beyoncé performed her second out of five shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Kicking off her Cowboy Carter tour, she will also be performing three more shows in the following week before taking her global tour to the Midwest for her Chicago concert.

Then, she will be taking her tour to major cities including her native Houston as well as New York City and London. 

Her tour will continue through late July before she wraps up the tour with two performances in Las Vegas. 

Last year, it was reported that her negotiations for a residency at the Sphere did not come to fruition after the venue refused her request to shut down for two weeks for her to rehearse. 

Earlier this week, she impressed the star-studded crowd of concertgoers in Inglewood, California after her tour was preemptively deemed a ‘flop.’ 

Amid her spectacular show, she introduced a heartwarming moment when she brought out her rarely-seen daughter Rumi, seven, alongside her eldest child Blue Ivy, 13. 

During her recent shows, three generations of powerful female stars took the stage as Beyoncé brought up her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi as well as mother Tina Knowles

In addition to her two daughters, Beyoncé also shares son Sir Carter, Rumi’s twin, with rapper Jay-Z. 

The hitmaker — who kicked off her tour just over year and a half after she wrapped up her whirlwind Renaissance World Tour — notably didn’t bring out Rumi’s twin brother after making efforts to keep him out of the spotlight.

Despite hopes for a series of triumphs, Beyoncé has been beset by fears that she’s rushing into a ‘flop’ tour.

She has reportedly struggled to sell tickets for her upcoming shows despite winning her first-ever Grammy for Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter.
