Beyoncé has received a cease-and-desist letter from the owners of the Las Vegas Sphere following the circulation of fan-recorded footage from her Cowboy Carter tour, as reported by Billboard. The visuals, which depict Beyoncé as a giant figure interacting with the Las Vegas skyline and picking up the Sphere, were shared widely on social media. The Sphere's legal team claims this constitutes “impermissible use and violation,” and argues that it has led to “significant speculation” about a possible residency, which they assert is misleading and unapproved.

The dazzling visuals may have wowed fans, but the Sphere Entertainment Group was far from impressed. Attorney Kathleen McCarthy, representing the group, reportedly called out Beyoncé’s team, Parkwood Entertainment, for using altered images of the Sphere without permission. She argued it misled fans into believing Beyoncé would close her tour with a residency there—a deal that was once in talks for 2024, but reportedly collapsed before becoming official. While the legal drama unfolds, Beyoncé is still turning heads—this time for her show-stopping tour outfits, which have been lighting up TikTok.
