Beyoncé has reworked the visuals for her “Cowboy Carter” tour after receiving a cease-and-desist from the owner of the Las Vegas arena, Sphere.
Variety reports that during the third night of the “Texas Hold ’Em” singer’s five concert stint at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, graphics that used to show her picking up the glowing Vegas venue were tweaked to show her holding Sin City’s Allegiant Stadium, where she is scheduled to perform on July 25.
