Beyoncé Makes History With 'Cowboy Carter' Tour
It certainly did not take long for Beyoncé to break records with her Cowboy Carter Tour.
Beyoncé began her Cowboy Carter tour with five concerts in Los Angeles beginning late last month and ending this weekend. And based on a report from Billboard on Monday afternoon, it sounds like the five-show run made history.
According to Billboard, Beyoncé's five-show run at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California grossed $55.7 million and sold 217,000 tickets, making it the biggest single-venue engagement from a female artist ever to be reported.
"Beyoncé’s $50 million-plus run in Los Angeles is the biggest reported single-venue engagement of 2025 so far, eclipsing multiple stops on Coldplay’s tour through Asia and Shakira’s seven-night stay in Mexico City. Further, it’s the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, only behind two legs of U2’s Sphere residency in Las Vegas (2023-24), Harry Styles’ 15 shows at Madison Square Garden in New York (2022), and eight nights of Take That at Wembley Stadium in London (2011). Notably, it’s the highest-grossing reported single-venue engagement ever by a woman," Eric Frankenberg of Billboard reported on Monday.
And as Billboard points out, there's a very good chance that Beyoncé could break her own record with a five-show run in the New York City area later this month.
"The L.A.-area shows may not even remain the tour’s peak, as an upcoming five-night stay at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. (13 miles from New York) could challenge that $55 million take. Beyoncé will have her longest run at one venue in London with six nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, though ticket prices overseas often fall below the surging rates in the United States," Frankenberg wrote.
Obviously, this is a staggering announcement that highlights Beyoncé's absolutely massive popularity. It also comes shortly after social media rumors that the tour was not selling well.
Needless to say, fans had a lot to say about it on social media.
"No one on her level period," someone wrote in a post on X.
"this is insane considering tiktok sources were saying she didn’t sell out a single show and she’s an apparent flop," another person pointed out.
"A Legendary Legend," someone else added.
"The empty stadiums they were talking about," another fan quipped.
The tour runs until July 26 making stops in Chicago, the New York City area, London, the Paris area, Houston, the Baltimore area, Atlanta, and the Las Vegas area.
