No, Beyoncé isn't planning a tour after Netflix halftime show
What's the story
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.
