Sets a new milestone on Country Tour, surpassing previous records - Touring across the country, she is once again setting new records
Music superstar Beyoncé has once again made history with her "Cowboy Carter" tour, which concluded last Saturday in Las Vegas. The tour, promoted by Live Nation, generated $407.6 million in revenue, making it the highest-grossing country tour of all time according to Billboard Boxscore data as of July 2025.
The tour began in Beyoncé's hometown of Los Angeles and spanned nine different cities, with multiple shows in Los Angeles, New York, and London. In total, 1.6 million tickets were sold from 32 shows.
Beyoncé has broken multiple records with her "Cowboy Carter" tour. According to Billboard magazine, she is now the highest-grossing black artist of all time and the most successful R&B artist in the history of touring. Additionally, she is the first woman and the first American to have two separate tours gross over $400 million each, following the success of her "Renaissance" tour which generated $579 million from 56 shows.
Many guest musicians featured on the "Cowboy Carter" album received more attention for their contributions to the genre. During the tour, Beyoncé performed songs like "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages" from her successful country album.
Despite the success of the "Cowboy Carter" tour, it remains short of Taylor Swift's record-breaking "Eras" tour, which grossed approximately $2.07 billion from 147 shows as of December 2024. Swift's tour remains the most successful tour of all time.
Beyoncé advocated for the recognition of black artists in country music during the "Cowboy Carter" tour. At the 2025 Grammy Awards, she became the first black artist to win the award for best country album.
The "Cowboy Carter" tour faced challenges in rural areas of the US, unlike the "Renaissance" tour. However, the tour's success demonstrates the appeal of Beyoncé's country music to a wide audience.
In conclusion, Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour has broken multiple records and made history as the highest-grossing country tour of all time. Despite not yet surpassing Taylor Swift's record-breaking "Eras" tour, Beyoncé's success in the country music genre is undeniable.
