Beyonce's recent performance of 'Daddy Lessons' at the opening night of her Cowboy Carter Tour marks the first time she has sung the song since facing unwelcoming reactions from the country music community at the C.M.A. Awards. This performance was significant as it occurred after her collaboration with Dolly Parton on 'Jolene,' reinforcing her exploration of American roots music in her eighth solo album, Cowboy Carter. The concert was not only a showcase for new songs but also a clever representation of her extensive musical journey, highlighting themes of closure and connection throughout the almost three-hour show.
The last time Beyonce performed Daddy Lessons, the stomping, biting number from her 2016 album, Lemonade, was at that year's C.M.A. Awards, in a blistering rendition alongside the Dixie Chicks.
It was meaningful, and pointed, that at the opening night of the Cowboy Carter Tour at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., Beyonce played Daddy Lessons for the first time since that rejection.
Beyonce's Cowboy Carter show featured the debut of many of the album's songs, but also brought back tracks from across her catalog.
There were suggestions that loop-closing has been very much on Beyonce's mind, along with culmination.
