\n\tBeyonc\u00e9 has set several new records after wrapping her wildly successful Cowboy Carter<\/a> <\/em>tour<\/a>, which now holds the distinction of being the highest-grossing country tour ever.<\/p>\n \n\tThe 32-show run tour grossed a whopping $407.6 million with 1.6 million tickets sold, according to Billboard<\/a> <\/em>Boxscore. (Boxscore has been collecting touring data and figures from various industry sources \u2014 artists, venues, promoters \u2014 for almost 40 years.)<\/p>\n \n\tAdditionally, Pollstar<\/em><\/a>, the trade publication for the concert industry, credited the Cowboy Carter<\/a> Tour with making over $400 million, a feat that no other country tour has ever achieved. They also noted Beyonc\u00e9 is the first American artist to have two separate tours gross over $400 million, with her 2023 Renaissance<\/a> <\/em>trek amassing $579 million across 56 shows.<\/p>\n \n\tThat the Cowboy Carter <\/em>trek made as much as it did with 24 fewer shows is another remarkable feat. It\u2019s now the shortest tour ever to reach $400 million in gross, per Boxscore, with its closest competitors lagging far behind. Those include the Renaissance <\/em>run (56 dates), The Rolling Stones\u2019\u00a0 2017 \u2013 2021 No Filter Tour (58 dates), and Metallica\u2019s ongoing M72 World Tour (60 so far).<\/p>\n \n\tAfter her comparatively lengthy Renaissance <\/em>tour \u2014 which was also her first headlining run since the 2016 Formation World Tour \u2014 Beyonc\u00e9 took a slightly different approach with the Cowboy Carter<\/em>, scheduling more shows in fewer locations. In total, she played just nine cities, but her itinerary included five nights in Los Angeles<\/a> and the New York City area, as well as six gigs in London. She wrapped the run this month with a four-night stand in Atlanta, followed by two nights in Las Vegas<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
