Vanessa Bryant channeled her inner country vibes while attending opening night of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour at SoFi Stadium.

Bryant, who's been friends for years with the artist, was spotted taking in the action alongside Queen B's mom, Tina Knowles, and lived it up as she sang and danced the entire night. Bryant and Knowles were pictured wearing cowboy hats and matching western attire to go along with the theme of the album and tour. Per USA Today, Beyoncé opened up the show with a personal message to her fans.

"Oh Beyhive, it feels so good to be on this stage," she told the audience. "I want to thank all of those who came before me that allowed me to be on this stage today. I want to thank you to my fans for allowing me to make this album. Thank you giving me the creative liberty to challenge myself," she continued.

Monday's date at SoFi is the first of a four-date stint. After a small European circuit, Beyonce heads home to Texas and Washington, D.C., before ending the tour on July 26 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. "Cowboy Carter" was first released on March 29, 2024, setting tons of records along the way.

The "Cowboy Carter" tour was officially announced the night before the 2025 Grammy Awards in February, where the "Dangerously in Love" musician took home multiple awards, including "Album of the Year." During her acceptance speech, she stated "I just feel very full and very honored. It’s been many, many years."
