No, Beyoncé isn't planning a tour after Netflix halftime show
Beyoncé has quashed rumors that she is planning a tour next year after her much-awaited Christmas Day halftime show. The clarification was made by her longtime publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, who wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Untrue. Nothing to report here. Whenever there is any news, you will hear it directly from the source first." This came after music industry trade publication Hits Daily Double and US Sun reported an imminent tour promotion by the singer.

Beyoncé, 43, has been riding high on the success of her latest album, Cowboy Carter, which was released in March. The country-inspired project scored 11 Grammy nominations, including album of the year. This made her the most recognized artist in Grammy history with a career total of 99 nominations. However, despite the acclaim, she has yet to announce plans to tour with Cowboy Carter.
