Beyoncé Silences Critics After Her 'Cowboy Carter' Show Becomes Highest Grossing Country Tour Ever

Beyoncé gets the last laugh!

Just two days after wrapping her "Cowboy Carter" tour, which consisted of over 32 stops in cities around the United States and parts of Europe, Beyoncé has broken a new record, solidifying herself as one of the best country artists of all time.

According to Billboard, Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour grossed $407.6 million and sold 1.6 million tickets, making the three-hour extravaganza the highest-grossing country tour in Billboard Boxscore history.

And that's not all. Throughout the run of the tour, the "JOLENE" singer had been breaking records along the way.

At SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Beyoncé became the highest-grossing artist in the venue's history, earning over $101.2 million across five shows. Meanwhile, in Chicago, she set the record for the highest-grossing run on a single tour, collecting approximately $42.5 million.

The news of Beyoncé's latest victory comes months after reports claimed the global superstar was struggling to sell tickets, with one specific report suggesting that tickets were selling for less than the cost of a McDonald's meal.

Beyoncé also integrated several surprises into her tour throughout its run.

In addition to seeing her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter, every night during songs like "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM" and "PROTECTOR," Queen Bey decided to give her fans even more.

While in France, Jay-Z joined the tour for a special performance of his hit song "N-ggas in Paris," while Miley Cyrus hit the stage for a duet of their song "II MOST WANTED."

And during the show's final night in Las Vegas, Nevada, Beyoncé gave her audience the surprise of a lifetime — a Destiny's Child reunion, which consisted of live performances of their songs "Lose My Breath" and "Bootylicious."

Before embarking on her record-breaking "Cowboy Carter" tour, Beyoncé caused a bit of chatter after some of her fans felt she was snubbed during the 2024 Country Music Awards, also known as the CMAs.

At the time, "Cowboy Carter" had skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard 200 and Best Country Album charts, and featured the No. 1 single, "Texas Hold 'Em."

During an interview with Andy Cohen, the host of the CMA, Luke Bryan broke his silence on Beyoncé being left off the ballot and implied that it was due to her not being country enough.

"I'm all for everybody coming in and making country albums and all that. But just by declaring that, just because she made one. I don't need [a nomination], just 'cause I make one," he said.

"Everybody loved that Beyoncé made a country album. Nobody's mad about it. But where things get a little tricky and, and you know, if you're gonna make country albums, come into our world and be country with us a little bit," he added. "Beyoncé can do it exactly what she wants to. She's probably the biggest star in music."

He continued: "But come to an award show and high-five us, and have fun and get in the family too."

On Instagram, fans have been flooding the comment sections of different posts to praise Beyoncé for her latest accomplishment.

"IF THAT AINT COUNTRY, TELL ME WHAT IS!" someone wrote.

"Never ask permission for something that already belongs to you!" another added.

A third commented, "Nothing but stats [and] facts. Congratulations to the entire team! Well done."

"Best revenge is her paper," a fourth fan quipped, referencing a lyric from her popular song "Formation."

And the love and praise didn't end there.

Someone else added, "PUT SOME RESPECT ON HER NAME," while another dubbed Beyoncé the "Queen of Country Music."

"The best show I've ever seen, it was EPIC!" another user wrote.

An eighth fan even referenced the CMA controversy, adding, "And that silences the haters in the CMAs."
