Beyonce has started her ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’ with a record setting $55.7 million gross.
The ‘Crazy In Love’ hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on May 9, pulled in well over $50 million with 217,000 tickets sold.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the Los Angeles run is the “biggest reported single-venue engagement” of the year so far.
It’s also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, beaten only by U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas across 2023 and 2024, Harry Styles at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2022, and Take That’s Wembley Stadium run in 2011.
It’s also the highest-grossing single-venue engagement in history by a female artist.
Beyonce started her tour on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7 and 9, pulling in an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show.
With three performances as SoFi in 2023, her eight gigs in total is more than any other artist in the venue’s five-year history.
On the opening night of the SoFi run, the Grammy Award winner was joined onstage by her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter.
Blue Ivy, 13, danced with her famous mother during her performance of ‘America Has A Problem’.
Later on, it was time for Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s seven-year-old, Rumi Carter, to make her onstage debut.
As Beyoncé belted out the moving ballad ‘Protector’, Rumi and her big sister stood with her under the spotlight.
Following the performance, pictures of Beyoncé and her three children – also including Rumi’s twin brother Sir – appeared on a big screen behind her.
Blue Ivy was part of the backup dance troupe for her superstar mom on her 2023 ‘Renaissance Tour’.
She also joined her mother onstage for her NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show in 2024.
The talented teenager has followed in her famous parents’ footsteps and voiced Kiara in the 2024 Disney film ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’.
