It’s more than a flex. It’s a way of saying, I see you, I value you, and I’ll spoil you because you earned it.

On the other hand, some netizens criticized the Halo singer's decision to give her tour dancers LV bags, speculating that she hadn't paid them enough. Some even called her "greedy":

Some X users also compared Beyoncé's Louis Vuitton bonus for tour dancers to Taylor Swift giving her entire Eras tour crew a bonus:

That's cool, except Taylor Swift gave a nearly $200M bonus to everyone who worked on her tour, from dancers, to tech, lighting, wardrobe, truck drivers, etc. And she donated to local charities at every stop on the tour. Shame that Beyonce didn't step up like that.

Additionally, one of the highlights of the recently finished tour was 13-year-old Blue Ivy Carter earning praise for her performances alongside other dancers on stage. Multiple clips of Blue Ivy performing on Déjà Vu and Texas Hold 'Em have gone viral on the internet.

Besides Blue Ivy's dance performances, another viral moment from Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour is the involvement of 7-year-old Rumi. Queen Bey's younger daughter made her first on-stage appearance with Blue Ivy on the tour's opening night, when she embraced her mother as she performed Protector.

Praising Rumi's efforts, Queen Bey's mother, Tina Knowles, posted a clip of the little one on May 8, 2025, and wrote:

"The way she watches Blue and mirrors her every move… you can tell she’s taking notes. She doesn’t just want to join the legacy…she wants to SLAY it too!"

The Cowboy Carter tour became a family affair after Jay-Z made a surprise appearance during the final show in Paris on June 22, 2025. The couple sent the audience into a frenzy by performing their iconic tracks like Drunk In Love and Crazy In Love.
