Beyoncé is wrapping up her Cowboy Carter tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. 

The world tour, supporting her Grammy award winning album, came to East Rutherford for a total of five shows from May 22 through 29. Next, she heads to London and Paris before traveling back to Houston, Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, then ending in Las Vegas in July.

The superstar's daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter, have also joined her on stage for several stops on the tour, along with her mother, Tina Knowles.
