ケルビン・エバンスは火曜日、アトランタの裁判所において、ビヨンセの未発表曲やツアー資料が入ったハードディスクを盗んだ罪で有罪を認めた。彼は2年間の拘禁とそれに続く保護観察を含む5年の刑を受け入れた。この認罪は、公判が開始された翌日に行われた。
エバンスは、2025年8月にレンタカーのジープからスーツケースを盗んだとして、不法侵入および窃盗目的での車両侵入の罪に問われていた。盗まれた物品は、ビヨンセの「Cowboy Carter」ツアーのアトランタ公演を控えていた振付師のクリストファー・グラントとダンサーのディアンドレ・ブルーの所有物だった。検察側は、未発表曲やセットリスト、コンサートの計画などが保存されたハードディスクをエバンスが持ち去る様子を捉えた監視カメラの映像を提示した。盗まれた資料は一切回収されていない。
