Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tour Sets Record as Top-Grossing Country Tour

## Beyoncé’s Record-Breaking Tour

Beyoncé has shattered numerous records following the completion of her highly acclaimed **Cowboy Carter** tour. This event has now earned the title of the highest-grossing country tour in history.

The 32-show tour garnered an impressive $407.6 million, selling 1.6 million tickets, according to **Billboard** Boxscore. This platform has been compiling touring data from various industry sources for almost four decades.

### Milestones Achieved

Additionally, **Pollstar**, a renowned publication in the concert industry, confirmed that the **Cowboy Carter** tour earned over $400 million—making it a monumental achievement in country music. Beyoncé also became the first American artist to have two distinct tours surpass $400 million, with her recent **Renaissance** tour bringing in $579 million across 56 performances.

After the relatively extensive **Renaissance** tour—her first headlining series since the 2016 Formation World Tour—Beyoncé adopted a different strategy for the **Cowboy Carter** tour. By scheduling more shows in fewer locations, she focused on just nine cities. Her itinerary included five nights in Los Angeles and several performances in the New York City area, along with six shows in London. She concluded the tour this month with a four-night stint in Atlanta, followed by two nights in Las Vegas.

### Memorable Performances

While **Cowboy Carter** was the tour’s primary theme, the setlist showcased highlights from Beyoncé’s extensive career. Each night featured special appearances from her children, Blue Ivy and Rumi. Notably, during her performance in Paris on June 19, Beyoncé invited Miley Cyrus onstage for the live debut of “II Most Wanted.” The tour finale in Las Vegas also featured surprise appearances from Jay-Z and Shaboozey, as well as a much-anticipated **Destiny’s Child** reunion.

The end of the **Cowboy Carter** tour likely signals the conclusion of the second phase of Beyoncé’s anticipated album trilogy, which began with **Renaissance**. In addition to her successful tour, **Cowboy Carter** represented a significant milestone for her, as she finally received the Grammy for Album of the Year.
