Beyoncé Spotlights Viral Superfan During Washington DC Cowboy Carter Tour

During her Cowboy Carter tour stop in Washington, D.C., Beyoncé reignited a viral moment by recognizing longtime fan Anthony Cosby-Knowles in the crowd, affectionately calling him "cousin" and "husband." This playful exchange dates back to 2009 during her I Am… World Tour when Anthony introduced himself with his hyphenated last name and humorously claimed to be Beyoncé’s husband, a moment that became a beloved fan favorite and featured in the live video for "Say My Name." Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, also acknowledged Anthony on social media, delighting fans who consider him a foundational figure in the Beyhive community. The tour continues to garner praise for Beyoncé’s impressive stage presence and choreography, with additional spotlight on her daughter Blue Ivy, who shines as a lead dancer. These interactions highlight Beyoncé’s remarkable memory and her knack for engaging with fans and viral culture, further cementing her connection with her audience. The Cowboy Carter tour, part of Beyoncé’s Renaissance series, blends powerful performances with cultural reflections, including patriotic themes linked to the July 4th celebrations.
