The 32-show series concluded on Saturday (July 26) in Las Vegas with a surprise Destiny's Child reunion.
According to Pollstar, the tour has achieved an unprecedented feat by earning more over $400 million. Beyoncé is also the first American artist to have two distinct tours generate more than $400 million, with her 2023 'Renaissance' tour, previously dubbed one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, grossing $579 million (£434 million) across 56 events.
The 'Cowboy Carter' tour is also the shortest to ever reach that milestone, with its closest challengers trailing well behind. These include her previous tour (56 dates), The Rolling Stones' 2017 - 2021 No Filter Tour (58 dates), and Metallica's current M72 World Tour (60 so far).
This time, Bey performed in only nine locations, with mini-residency stops in Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta, London, and Las Vegas. It was a departure from her previous 'Renaissance' tour, which saw her perform in 39 cities across 17 nations.
Other surprise guests included Jay-Z, who made a special appearance in Atlanta for 'Crazy In Love', followed by solo performances of his own songs 'Public Service Announcement' and 'I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)'. It came after he joined her in France in June, marking their first stage appearance in seven years.
Before that, Beyoncé shocked fans in Paris by bringing Miley Cyrus out to perform their collaboration 'II Most Wanted' for the first time.
