Coco Gauff Turns Heads With Cowboy Style Shocker as Beyoncé Lands in Atlanta

“So, me and my friends have a Beyoncé group chat. We’re huge fans,” Coco Gauff once revealed during her appearance on the WTA Insider podcast, and she wasn’t kidding. The two-time Grand Slam champion has never shied away from showing love to the 35-time Grammy-winning icon Beyoncé. And now, even while recharging after a mixed European swing, Gauff proved she’s not just a champion on the court, she’s a showstopper off it, with ’16 Carriages’ still echoing in her stride.

Just an hour ago, Coco Gauff lit up her IG stories with backstage brilliance straight from Beyoncé’s concert. In the first clip, she captioned “queen” as Beyoncé belted out “Bodyguard” from her Cowboy Carter album, the crowd roaring in sync with every note. The next story brought an electric surprise: Jay-Z, the King beside the Queen, vibing to what sounded like Ya Ya, a track he co-produced. Coco simply stamped it with “HOV,” letting the moment speak for itself.

Then came the knockout: Coco herself, dressed head to toe in full Cowboy Carter glory. In a dazzling snapshot from the night, she rocked the look with a fierce cowboy hat, an American flag waving behind her, and “Tyrant” echoing in the background. It wasn’t just a concert, it was Coco’s statement of rhythm, style, and unapologetic energy. From Roland Garros glory to concert royalty, she’s owning every stage she steps on.

Beyoncé brought the fire to Atlanta as she kicked off her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour with an explosive opening night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The show began around 8:15 pm on July 10 and delivered everything fans dreamed of: blazing energy, unforgettable stunts, and pure viral magic. Coco’s story was worth more than a thousand words.

From a revamped “16 Carriages” performance featuring a mechanical horse to her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter hitting the viral “Whim Whamiee” dance move, Queen Bey turned Atlanta into a western wonderland. She also revived bangers like Levii’s Jeans and Before I Let Go to send the crowd into a frenzy.

The concert marked the first of four scheduled performances in Atlanta, with shows on July 11, 13, and 14 lighting up the city. And on the final night, tonight, the stadium roars with even more electricity. Naturally, Coco Gauff had to be part of the magic.

The 2023 US Open champion has long worn her admiration of Beyoncé on her sleeve. She celebrated Cowboy Carter’s Grammy win for Album of the Year back in February and declared, “I don’t think anyone can top Beyoncé, to be honest.” Her words say it all, Gauff is a superfan in every sense.

Even fellow American tennis star Chris Eubanks added to the picture. “I was speaking to her a couple of days ago, and she was excited to go see the Beyoncé Renaissance movie. That’s what she was most looking forward to,” he said in 2023. That moment reminded fans that Coco’s not just a champion, she’s a vibrant young woman embracing the culture she loves.

Now, dancing under the same roof as her musical idol, Coco is soaking up the sound, the stardust, and the stage, and showing once again she belongs among stars.

Coco Gauff honors Black History Month with Beyoncé tribute

Back in February, Coco Gauff marked Black History Month with a heartfelt tribute across four powerful IG Stories. In the first, she reposted a message from Good Good Good newspaper that read, “While we don’t need an awareness holiday to honor Black history, Black History Month serves as an important opportunity to reflect, reconcile with the past and commit to a more just future. It’s more crucial now than ever to celebrate, amplify Black voices and participate in the ongoing struggles for racial equality.” Gauff followed it with another post, featuring Beyoncé’s image and a simple, powerful caption, “happy BHM.”

For those unaware, that moment was extra meaningful. Beyoncé had just made history at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, becoming the first Black woman to win Best Country Album. Gauff’s admiration wasn’t just fanfare; it was a recognition of cultural impact wrapped in celebration.

But Coco’s love for Queen Bey runs far deeper than a few Instagram stories. Last year, like millions across the globe, Gauff joined the internet frenzy after Beyoncé dropped her surprise country album announcement during the Super Bowl. While Gauff confessed that country music isn’t her usual jam, she admitted she’s more than ready to lace up those cowboy boots she grabbed during the WTA Finals in Fort Worth.

“I didn’t buy a hat, so I need to,” she joked during the WTA Insider Podcast. “I need to do that and make it Beyoncified. Beyoncé, if you see this, I love you. Maybe I can teach Rumi or Blue Ivy some tennis. I would do it. I would literally pay you to do it,” Gauff added with full sincerity and charm.

From center court to center stage, Coco knows how to balance fire and fun. With the North American hard-court swing looming, the World No. 2 is recharging with Beyoncé beats and Southern spirit.

But now tell us: did you catch that Beyoncé concert? Because if not, you’re missing more than music. You’re missing a movement.
