Beyoncé wrapped her “Cowboy Carter Tour” on Saturday night (July 26) in Las Vegas. After 32 shows, the tour grossed $407.6 million with 1.6 million tickets sold, marking the trek the highest-grossing country tour in Boxscore history, according to Billboard. Throughout the entire tour, she broke more than 40 Boxscore records.

The global superstar is no stranger to breaking box office records, as her 2023 “Renaissance World Tour” broke the same record for R&B tours, grossing $579.8 million. With these two feats, Beyoncé is the first woman, and first American artist, to gross over $400 million on two tours. She joins Coldplay, The Rolling Stones and Ed Sheeran in this achievement.

The “Cowboy Carter Tour” saw a different touring structure from the singer’s usual routing, with the 32 shows being played across just nine cities (Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Atlanta, London, Paris, Houston, D.C. and Las Vegas). In Atlanta, Beyoncé spent four nights at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with five nights spent at Los Angeles’ Sofi Stadium and five at MetLife Stadium in New York City. The longest residency on the tour took place in London, with six shows taking place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In New York, Beyoncé sold a total of 250,000 tickets, grossing $70.3 million. This marks MetLife’s biggest event in history, and also becomes the highest-grossing reported stadium run on a single tour. In London, she brought in $61.6 million with 275,000 tickets sold. Overall on the tour, the average night was $12.7 million, with 49,900 tickets per night at an average of $255.36 per ticket.
