Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, LondonThe big hits might be truncated to make way for her latest, country-inflected album – but seen live, these songs sound like a powerful act of protestIt clearly hasn’t escaped Beyoncé’s notice that the meteorological omens auger ill for the first UK show of her Cowboy Carter tour. The weathermen are predicting a thunderstorm, the Tottenham Hotspur ground is noticeably lacking a roof, and she’s no sooner arrived onstage than she’s suggesting that the prospect of rain “ain’t gonna stop the party”.The thunderstorm never comes, but a cynic might suggest the glowering skies, and a sudden downpour – through which the singer will be required to fly on a giant neon-lit horseshoe – act as a kind of metaphor for the fortunes of the Cowboy Carter tour.

1 week ago ‘I like making people do a double take’: Darren Soh’s best phone picture

By rotating the picture 180 degrees, the photographer produced an abstract image of the Potong Pasir housing estate in SingaporeOne morning, Darren Soh drove to the Potong Pasir housing estate in Singapore to take some photos. His initial focus was on the buildings themselves: the government-built blocks, dating from 1984, are characterised by their ski slope-style roofs.“We only get two kinds of weather in Singapore – rainy and overcast, or sunny and warm,” Soh says. “This day was in the latter category.
