The 32-show run grossed an impressive $407.6 million.
American superstar Beyoncé is known for breaking multiple records, and this time, her recently concluded Cowboy Carter Tour has become the highest-grossing country tour ever. The 32-show run grossed an impressive $407.6 million, with 1.6 million tickets sold. This achievement was confirmed by Pollstar and Boxscore—leading sources on concert ticket sales and box office revenue—both of which credited Beyoncé’s tour earnings as unprecedented. They also revealed that Beyoncé is the first American artist to have multiple separate tours grossing over $400 million, with her Renaissance Tour amassing $579 million across 56 shows.
It is groundbreaking that the Cowboy Carter Tour grossed over $400 million despite having fewer shows, making it the shortest tour to ever reach this milestone. It surpassed tours such as Renaissance, The Rolling Stones’ No Filter Tour, and Metallica’s ongoing M72 World Tour. Major highlights of the Cowboy Carter Tour included surprise appearances by Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Tina Knowles. “Flowers” singer Miley Cyrus also joined the show, delivering a tantalizing performance of “II Most Wanted.” At the tour’s finale in Las Vegas, the audience was treated to a nostalgic performance by Destiny’s Child, while Jay-Z and Shaboozey also took the stage.
As the curtain closes on this tour, it also marks the conclusion of the second act of Beyoncé’s planned album trilogy, which began with Renaissance. With Cowboy Carter, she broke several records and delivered a masterclass in exploring different genres. The album also added a Grammy award for Album of the Year to Beyoncé’s long list of historic achievements. Beyond the numbers and numerous accolades, Beyoncé’s tour has sparked renewed conversations about the crossover potential of country music, inspiring more Black artists to explore and be celebrated within the genre.
With her current record-breaking achievement and the success of Cowboy Carter, fans are already eager about her next project and future tours.
