Beyoncé’s 'Cowboy Carter' has officially become the highest-grossing country tour of all time, raking in more than $400 million and rewriting music industry history, Live Nation announced Monday.
According to Live Nation, the singer’s 'Cowboy Carter' tour is now the highest-grossing country tour ever, generating more than $400 million in revenue across 32 sold-out stadium shows in North America, the UK, and Europe.
Live Nation cited Billboard in confirming the record, and the accolades don’t stop there.
The 43-year-old superstar has now become:
The highest-grossing Black artist of all time;
The highest-grossing R&B artist of all time;
The first woman and American with two separate tours, each grossing more than $400 million.
Launched in late April in Los Angeles, the tour featured Beyoncé performing country anthems like 'Texas Hold ’Em' and '16 Carriages', often joined by her two daughters. The final show in Las Vegas last Saturday featured surprise appearances from Jay-Z, Destiny’s Child, and rising country star Shaboozey.
Throughout the tour, Beyoncé used her platform to honour Black contributions to country music, shining a light on historically overlooked voices, many of whom were sampled or featured on the Cowboy Carter album.
This milestone comes after Beyoncé became the first Black woman to win Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards—a win that followed years of backlash from country purists, especially after her controversial 2016 CMA Awards performance.
While Cowboy Carter’s $400M haul is groundbreaking, it still trails behind Taylor Swift’s 'Eras' tour, which surpassed $2 billion, becoming the highest-grossing tour in history.
