Kicking Open Country's Door With A Little Help From Beyoncé And Her Friends

Beyoncé is again having a gargantuan moment, after a record-setting year. Her “Renaissance Tour,” which concluded in October, racked up a prodigious $579.8 million to score the No. 2 ranking on Pollstar’s 2023 Top 100 North American Tours chart. She sold 2,776,854 tickets by the end of the 56-date trek and became the No. 1 Black concert headliner for grosses earned from a single tour. For Queen Bey, however, that may have just been a warm-up for the cultural impact she’s already having this year with Cowboy Carter.
