Beyoncé's songs, which are yet to be released among several items, have been stolen in Atlanta, authorities have confirmed.

The songs, saved on hard drives containing her tour plans, show plans, and past and future set lists for her tour, were among the items stolen from the car of one of her choreographers.

“The hard drives contained watermarked music, some unreleased music, footage plans for the show and past and future set lists,” the police report stated

The theft happened just two days before Beyoncé’s first Atlanta performance as part of her four-night Cowboy Carter tour stop in the city.

An arrest warrant has been issued for the suspect's arrest, although the suspect's identity has yet to be made public.

How the theft happened

Recounting the incident to the police, Christopher Grant (choreographer) and Diandre Blue (dancer)told the police that they had parked their rented 2024 Black Jeep Wagoneer at a food hall in Atlanta around 8:09 p.m. on July 8, 20252.

Although the food hall has not been confirmed or mentioned in the police report, a source stated that the theft occurred in a parking deck near Krog Street Market, a well-known food hall and gathering spot in the city.

They told police they were “carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé” in the vehicle that was also stolen.

That included “five jump drives containing watermarked music, unreleased music, footage plans for shows past and future, and set list”, the report states.

Other items reported stolen included a laptop, designer clothes and Apple AirPods. Authorities used tracking information on the laptop and headphones to track where the items may have gone, the police report notes.

Authorities also dusted the vehicle for any fingerprints and discovered “two very light prints”.

It is unclear whether the stolen items have been recovered.

The BBC has contacted a representative for Beyoncé for comment.
