Beyoncé's Unreleased Tracks Stolen from Car Ahead of Atlanta Tour Stop
The theft, discovered just before the singer’s highly anticipated performances, has left fans and officials on alert.
Authorities have confirmed that unreleased music belonging to Beyoncé was stolen along with several personal items from a vehicle in Atlanta, just days ahead of her four-night Cowboy Carter tour stop in the city. A police report reveals that hard drives containing unreleased songs, show plans, and set lists were among the items taken from a rental vehicle belonging to the singer's choreographer and one of her dancers on July 8.
The incident occurred when choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue parked their rented Black Jeep Wagoneer and went into a nearby food hall. Upon returning, they discovered that the rear window had been shattered and two suitcases were missing. The police report indicates the stolen items included "five jump drives containing watermarked music, unreleased music, footage plans for shows past and future, and set lists," as well as a laptop, designer clothing, and Apple AirPods.
Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for an unnamed suspect while utilizing tracking information from the stolen laptop and headphones to aid in the investigation. Furthermore, investigators dusted the rental vehicle for fingerprints, uncovering "two very light prints." The recovery status of the stolen items remains uncertain.
Beyoncé is currently performing in Atlanta as part of her Cowboy Carter stadium tour, which began on July 10, with another show scheduled for Monday night. Additionally, her husband, rapper Jay Z, made a surprise appearance during one of her performances in the city.
Choreographer Grant is known for his collaborations with other prominent musicians, including Shakira, while dancer Blue featured alongside Beyoncé in a 2024 Super Bowl advertisement, which also marked the release of two singles from her Cowboy Carter album.
