Beyoncé Hit With Cease-and-Desist Letter Over Cowboy Carter Concert Footage; Here’s Why

It appears that legal issues have arisen for Beyoncé regarding her Cowboy Carter tour, as Sphere Entertainment Co., proprietors of Las Vegas’ innovative concert venue The Sphere, have issued a stop order to the artist.

In simpler terms, the legal document is asking Beyoncé to remove a part of the video that seems to violate the copyright owned by the company related to the visuals of her ongoing tour, “Cowboy Carter.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled on the latest entertainment news, and there’s one performance that has everyone buzzing: the recent concert interlude featuring a popular diva. In this segment, a massive digital sphere was projected onto the screen, causing quite a stir among fans, according to Billboard. The diva herself was depicted as a colossal figure, walking out and playfully juggling the digital replica of the venue. This scene went viral almost instantly, leaving many fans speculating about a potential Las Vegas residency for this talented artist. It’s safe to say that this performance has left quite an impact!

According to Billboard’s early findings, a report in the New York Post suggests that her entertainment company, Parkwood Entertainment, may have used a venue’s image without obtaining necessary permissions. This action is referred to as a violation of intellectual property rights in the legal documents submitted.

Sphere Entertainment contends that while most components of the tour’s visuals, such as the music, video clips, and other branding, likely went through proper clearance processes, the specific locations depicted weren’t.

According to the legal document, it appears that a Cowboy Carter tour interlude video has been using SEG’s intellectual property without permission. Importantly, SEG was not consulted about this, and the conspicuous inclusion and manipulation of SEG’s Sphere™ venue within the video is unauthorized.

As a dedicated follower, I urge an immediate removal of the Sphere imagery from all performances, merchandise, promotional materials, and future media associated with Beyoncé. So far, her team has remained silent regarding the ongoing legal matters. Regardless, her tour is scheduled to carry on, with shows taking place in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on July 25th and 26th.
