Beyoncé kicked off her "Cowboy Carter" tour in Los Angeles, and it is a bold blend of country music, political symbolism and cultural reclamation.

Beyoncé soared across SoFi Stadium in a giant neon horseshoe, and then again in a red convertible Cadillac. She mounted and rode a gleaming, mechanical golden bull - all the while belting tunes from Cowboy Carter and her decades-spanning discography.

The owner of the Sphere has sent Beyoncé a cease-and-desist letter over footage that shows the singer picking up a version of what they say is the Las Vegas venue, according to reports from Billboard and New York Post.
