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.

Beyoncé won favorite female country artist and favorite country album for her project "Cowboy Carter" at this year's American Music Awards.

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.
