Move over,\u00a0Morgan Wallen<\/a>, because\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> now has the highest-grossing country tour of all time.<\/p>\n The singer just finished the Cowboy Carter<\/em> Tour, and all told, she made more money than anyone has ever made in country music, and<\/em> she did it in fewer shows.<\/p>\n Here are the important stats:<\/p>\n A comprehensive list of the highest-grossing tours of all time is difficult to come by for several reasons. The first is that different companies evaluate this kind of thing using different methodology. The second is that Billboard<\/em>‘s article revealing Beyonc\u00e9’s tour as No. 1 is behind a paywall.<\/p>\n That said, it’s possible to get an idea for what she accomplished using year-end data provided previously:<\/p>\n This info was pulled from several Billboard<\/em> articles.<\/p>\n In early 2025, the outlet called Wallen’s tour<\/a> the highest-grossing country tour ever at over $300 million. That was just months after they named Bryan’s tour the highest-grossing of 2024<\/a> at $321.3 million.<\/p>\n At the end of 2023<\/a>, the Wallen Tour was named highest-grossing ever with a figure of $260.4 million earned, but those figures were incomplete, because only dates through the end of September were included.<\/p>\n Luke Combs<\/a> has checked in at No. 2 each of the last two years, with\u00a0between $133 and $173 million gross earned.<\/p>\n George Strait<\/a>, Jelly Roll,<\/a> Shania Twain <\/a>and Luke Bryan<\/a> are a few more artists who have made the Top 10 in both years.<\/p>\n It’s worth noting that \u2014 like Beyonc\u00e9 \u2014 Strait makes this list with relatively few shows. He’s played about a dozen concerts each of the last two years and ranked No. 3 and No. 4 in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n The Cowboy Carter<\/em> Tour reached $400 million in far fewer shows than any artist before her. Pollstar<\/a> also confirms that she’s the first country artist to\u00a0have reached $400 million on a tour.<\/p>\n While there were early rumors of tickets not selling well, this news makes it clear that this tour was very, very popular.<\/p>\n Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> points out that the end of the tour likely signals the end of this chapter in her career. That article is also behind a paywall.<\/p>\n Another point of comparison might be Taylor Swift<\/a>‘s Eras Tour, which grossed over $2 billion across 149 concerts.<\/p>\n\n
