Beyoncé's Unreleased Tracks Stolen Ahead of Cowboy Carter Tour in Atlanta

Authorities have confirmed that unreleased material belonging to pop icon Beyoncé was stolen from a vehicle in Atlanta, raising concerns just days before the singer's Cowboy Carter tour performance in the city. The theft, which occurred on July 8, involved hard drives containing unreleased music, show plans, and set-lists intended for her tour.

The incident took place as choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue parked a rented Black Jeep Wagoneer before entering a nearby food hall. Upon their return, they discovered the rear window was shattered, and two suitcases, which contained a host of sensitive materials, had been taken, according to a police report. The duo informed police that the stolen items included "five jump drives" filled with unreleased tracks, along with a laptop, designer clothing, and Apple AirPods. An investigation is underway, with authorities tracking the stolen devices and collecting fingerprints from the vehicle as they work to identify the suspect. While it remains unclear if the items have been recovered, police have issued an arrest warrant, though the suspect's identity has not been revealed. Beyoncé continues to perform in Atlanta, having started her four-night engagement on July 10, featuring a surprise appearance by her husband, rapper Jay Z, during the event.
