Beyoncé on the opening night of her COWBOY CARTER TOUR on April 28, 2025 in Inglewood, Calif.Julian Dakdouk

Beyoncé wrapped her Cowboy Carter Tour last night (July 26) with $407.6 million in box office and 1.6 million tickets sold over 32 shows. These are unprecedented numbers and, show-by-show, set a bevy of Boxscore records during its run.

Dating back almost 40 years, all Boxscore data is based on figures reported to Billboard Boxscore from a variety of industry sources. Reporting is voluntary, and some artists, venues, and promoters opt to withhold data from representation on the charts.

The Cowboy Carter Tour consolidated the routing of Beyoncé’s previous tours to just seven American markets, plus London and Paris. In fewer cities, she played more shows, extending to four nights in Atlanta, five in Los Angeles and New York, and six in London. It’s rare for an artist to play so many shows at a single stadium on a single tour, and with more dates, she was able to sell more tickets and push higher grosses.

It all added up to $407.6 million in record speed. At just 32 shows, it’s the shortest tour in history to cross the $400 million threshold – by a country mile. Next up is Beyoncé’s own 2023 Renaissance World Tour at 56 dates, with nearly double the number of shows. Then, there’s The Rolling Stones’ 2017-2021 No Filter Tour (58) and Metallica’s ongoing M72 World Tour (60 so far).

Beyoncé was already all over the Boxscore record books heading into 2025, but her recent box office performance expands her footprint. The list below includes 47 records that she broke, tied or extended via Cowboy Carter Tour.

Methodology note: when totaling Beyoncé’s career-gross at each venue, her headline show grosses are added to 50% of her co-headline grosses, or 33% in the case of her tri-headline tour in 2004 with Missy Elliott and Alicia Keys.
