Beyoncé, known for her chart-topping hits, has done it again and this time, she’s made touring history.

The 44-year-old global superstar has officially topped Billboard’s 2025 year-end touring report, with her Cowboy Carter tour crowned the highest-grossing solo tour of the year. 

The residency-style run pulled in a jaw-dropping $407.6 million from just 32 shows, drawing 1.6 million fans across nine cities.

Billboard also confirmed another massive milestone: Cowboy Carter is now the highest-grossing country tour ever recorded, further cementing Beyoncé’s ability to dominate any genre she touches. 

The achievement places her in an elite club of artists with multiple tours crossing the $400 million mark, and makes her the first American act to do it twice.

One of the tour’s biggest highlights came in Los Angeles, where the Halo singer played five sold-out nights at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. 

Those shows alone generated well over $50 million, with 217,000 tickets sold.

Rolling Stone hailed the run as the biggest reported single-venue engagement of the year, and the highest-grossing ever by a female artist.

Starting on April 28 and wrapping up on May 9, she averaged $11.1 million per night, with more than 43,000 fans attending each show.

While The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn tour grossed an impressive $336.7 million, Coldplay ultimately claimed the year’s biggest overall tour, earning $464.9 million from their Music of the Spheres World Tour.
