Don't get too hyped about that Beyoncé Sphere residency rumor you've been hearing. It looks like we might've stumbled upon an elite marketing stunt rather than the real deal. Or at least, not for now, anyway.

Recent tour activity set the rumor mill abuzz. During the wildly popular launch of Queen B's "Cowboy Carter" tour in LA on April 28, Beyoncé was featured towering over the Strip—an homage to 1958's "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman"—and playfully handling a Sphere, which looked like a miniature version to her. Eye-catching content, right? Social media lit up as fans speculated that this could signal the end of the road for her current tour and a transition to a Sphere residency.

However, things took a dramatic turn when a cease-and-desist letter dropped from Sphere Entertainment Group's (SEG) legal team, alleging "unauthorized and impermissible use" of their intellectual property. The letter, obtained first by The New York Post, threatened legal action if Beyoncé's team didn't remove the clip by May 5.

While there were rumors of Beyoncé negotiating a Sphere residency back in 2023 that carried through until June 2024, those talks appeared to dissolve over a seemingly minor dispute about darkening the venue for two weeks of rehearsals. Now, according to rumors, Beyoncé has set her sights on a 100-show residency with MGM Resorts.

But let's take a look at the bigger picture here. The Las Vegas Sphere has mostly played host to acts like Dead & Company and Kenny Chesney, but there's been no official announcement about a Beyoncé residency. On the flip side, the venue's stunning cinematic technology has proved attractive to artists looking for immersive storytelling, hinting at potential future collaborations.

With the lack of a residency announcement, it seems that as things stand, there's no current agreement between the Sphere and Beyoncé. But who knows what the future might bring?
