Summer of Queer Music: The Merch Needed To Celebrate LGBTQ+ Artists & Allies
| 07/06/23
From tour-inspired wear to official merchandise, here’s how to celebrate your favorite artists.
This is the summer of queer music. We previously recommended our favorite albums to celebrate Pride Month, but this time we wanted to focus on the merchandise that helps us celebrate our favorite LGBTQ+ artists and allies. We’re recommending Beyoncé merch that we want to wear when listening to Renaissance, as well as some tour-ready outfits inspired by the album. From other official merchandise to inspired collectibles of your favorite artists, your summer of music will be complete.
Below you’ll find a selection of music merch from Amazon that can help you celebrate your favorite artists. Check them out and celebrate queer music this summer and all year round.

Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour Merch
We're huge fans of Renaissance, Beyoncé's latest studio album that has strong queer roots in its creation. But what we really love is how queer her tour has been, which makes for some incredible merch to adorn ourselves with while listening to this groundbreaking album. What we're loving right now is this Beyoncé Official Renaissance World Tour Disco Cowboy Hat T-shirt featuring the queen herself riding a horse in beautiful detail. On the back of the shirt lists every city of the Renaissance World Tour and it comes in a unisex fit so everyone can wear the t-shirt.
Although this is the summer of queer music, that doesn't mean we can't account for some less than sunny weather, meaning a sweatshirt as the perfect item of clothing to wrap yourself up in and listen to some music. This Beyoncé Official Renaissance World Tour Billboard Crewneck Sweatshirt is perfectly oversized to do just that, featuring Beyoncé on her horse on some high-in-the-sky scaffolding.
To complete the Renaissance look, these Beyoncé Official Renaissance World Tour Sweatpants offer a unisex, oversized fit perfect for lounging in and listening to the hottest tracks off the album.
