Beyonce BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Beyonce just claimed the throne as 2025s highest-grossing touring artist worldwide and in North America, according to Pollstar's year-end charts released December 19. Her Cowboy Carter Tour, which wrapped in July after 32 stadium shows, raked in $407.6 million from 1.6 million tickets sold, smashing records as the top country tour ever, the fastest to hit $400 million, and marking her second such mega-haul after Renaissance. Pollstar reports she graced their magazine cover, sharing rare insights: This was born from my love and respect for the rich country genre, with the intention to celebrate American resiliency. She detailed her hands-on obsession, from rigging flying horses and LED dresses with 35,000 lights to weaving Black cowboy history and Chitlin Circuit nods into a living art piece that drew cameos by Jay-Z, Destiny's Child, Miley Cyrus, and even her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi.
Billboard and Official Charts echoed the triumph, crowning it the years top solo tour and hailing her LA SoFi Stadium residency as the biggest single-venue pull by a female artist ever, averaging $11.1 million per night. Yet the victory lap sparked fan backlash on X, with some branding her greediest artist for sky-high tickets from $85 nosebleeds to thousands upfront, per SheFinds. One tweeted, Another way to rewrite this headline is 2025s Greediest Touring Artist; others griped about pricing out loyal fans and urged community givebacks like Taylor Swifts.
On the glamour front, Beyonce turned heads with a plunging gold gown and whiskey glass at a Paris event, posing solo and cozy with Jay-Z in fresh Instagram snaps, as covered by BalkanWeb. No fresh public appearances or business moves popped in the last 48 hours, but this touring dominance cements her biographical legacy as a genre-bending powerhouse. All verified from Pollstar, Billboard, and fan chatter—no unconfirmed rumors here. Queen Bey ends the year untouchable.
