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

(AURN News) — Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour has become the highest-grossing country tour of all time, earning more than $400 million, according to the Associated Press and Live Nation.

The tour also made her the highest-grossing Black artist and R&B artist in history. At 43, Beyoncé is now the first woman and first American act with two tours surpassing $400 million.

The tour began in April in Los Angeles and ended in Las Vegas, featuring surprise appearances by Jay-Z, Destiny’s Child and Shaboozey.

Across 32 sold-out stadiums in North America and Europe, she honored Black contributions to country music — despite years of pushback from the genre’s gatekeepers.

Her 2025 Grammy win for Best Country Album marked a historic first for a Black woman.
