Beyoncé's Anticipated Unreleased Music Plundered Ahead of Cowboy Carter Tour in Atlanta

In a troubling incident, unreleased music along with personal belongings were stolen from a vehicle linked to Beyoncé’s choreographer and dancer in Atlanta, less than a week before her Cowboy Carter tour performance, prompting a police investigation.

Beyoncé's unreleased music has fallen into the wrong hands following a theft in Atlanta just prior to her much-anticipated four-night run of the Cowboy Carter tour. According to police reports, hard drives containing unreleased tracks, detailed show plans, and various set lists went missing when a rental car used by her choreographer and dancer was broken into two days before her first Atlanta concert, which started on July 10.

The theft was reported on July 8, as the duo parked their rented Black Jeep Wagoneer before stepping into a local food hall. When they returned, they discovered the vehicle's rear window had been smashed, and two suitcases were gone, along with critical materials labeled as "sensitive information" for Beyoncé. The missing items included "five jump drives containing watermarked music, unreleased tracks, footage plans for shows both past and future, and the setlist," according to the police report.

Further items that were reported stolen included a laptop, high-end designer clothing, and Apple AirPods. Authorities have since issued an arrest warrant, although the suspect's name has yet to be disclosed. Investigators utilized tracking data from the stolen electronics to attempt to locate the ongoing whereabouts of the items. The vehicle was also examined for fingerprints, revealing "two very light prints," but details about any recovery remain unclear.

As she performs amidst this troubling theft, Beyoncé has been captivating audiences in Atlanta, leaving fans hoping for swift resolution and a remarkable show. Her husband, rapper Jay Z, made a surprise guest appearance during one of her performances, adding an unexpected element to the ongoing tour. The BBC has reached out for comments from Beyoncé's representatives regarding this incident.
