During her return to Atlanta on Thursday night, her first of four shows in the city, Beyoncé transformed Mercedes-Benz Stadium into a grand hoedown. A holy showdown. A downtown rodeo that centered reclamation and protest. For a whopping 40 songs performed over three hours, Mrs. Cowboy Carter dazzled in stars, stripes and struts.
