Beyoncé and her ongoing world tour is making history. “Renaissance” is being recognised as the highest grossing tour ever for a female artist.
As per Chart Data, Queen B’s current engagement has grossed more than $461 million USD as of writing. This surpasses Madonna’s 2008 to 2009 Sticky & Sweet Tour, which grossed $411 million USD.

She released her seventh studio album, “Renaissance,” in May, with its tours scheduled for Europe and North America in February. Five events at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London over the months of May and June grossed £33 million. Supporters crashed the Ticketmaster website due to the sheer volume of demand.
According to optimistic projections about the amount of fans purchasing tickets, the high average ticket price is $700 USD and the artist’s “considerable share” of product revenues. Forbes predicted earlier this May that Beyoncé might make more than $2 billion USD from the tour.
The numbers for the “RENAISSANCE” tour could still increase. The artist still has performances scheduled in Vancouver, Seattle, Arlington, Houston, New Orleans, and Kansas City through the beginning of October.
Well, we know her as Queen B for a reason! Don’t we?
