Unreleased
music by Beyoncé along with footage, show plans and concert set lists
were stolen from a car in Atlanta rented by the singer's choreographer
and one of her dancers, according to a police incident report.
The theft of the materials, stored on five thumb drives, happened on
July 8, two days before Beyoncé began a four-day residency at Atlanta's
Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Beyoncé was set to take the stage Monday evening
for her last night in the city.

The
Atlanta Police Department said in a news release Monday it has
secured an arrest warrant for a suspect whose identity was
withheld.
Two MacBook laptops, Apple headphones, as well as luxury
clothing and accessories were also reported stolen, according to
the incident report.
Beyoncé's choreographer, Christopher Grant, and dancer Diandre
Blue told police they parked their rental car, a 2024 Jeep
Wagoneer, at a food hall in the city at about 8:09 p.m. The pair
returned to the car just after 9 p.m. to discover the trunk
window had been damaged and two suitcases had been taken.
Grant told officers that “he was also carrying some personal
sensitive information for the musician Beyonce,” the police
incident report stated.
The report identifies a possible suspect vehicle as a 2025 red
Hyundai Elantra. Responding officers were able to identify
“light prints” at the scene, and security cameras in the parking
lot captured the incident, according to the report.
Officers canvassed an area where the stolen laptop and
headphones were tracked by using the devices’ location services,
the report stated.
Beyoncé kicked off her highly-anticipated tour in late April,
taking her Grammy-winning album, “Cowboy Carter,” to stadiums in
the U.S. and Europe. The singer will end her tour with two Las
Vegas nights in late July.
