Beyoncé May Be Just One Tour Away From Making History
The Cowboy Carter Tour Grosses Over $400 Million
According to Billboard Boxscore, Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour brought in $407.6 million from 1.6 million tickets sold. The country trek was a commercial juggernaut, and its closing sum pushes her career touring gross to more than $1.75 billion. With less than $250 million to go, she's within arm's reach of becoming one of the only artists in history to cross the $2 billion mark in reported touring revenue. Several names, including Taylor Swift, have already managed to pass that massive figure.
Back-to-Back Blockbuster Tours
The Cowboy Carter Tour ranks as Beyoncé's second-highest-grossing run, trailing only her previous venture, the Renaissance World Tour. That run closed with a record-breaking $579.8 million. Together, the two back-to-back treks have become career-defining moments, and some of the most successful concert tours of all time.
A Member of Touring's Most Elite Club
With her latest success, Beyoncé becomes the first woman and just the fourth artist overall—t have multiple tours pass the $400 million mark. She joins the exclusive ranks of The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran, cementing her place among the most bankable live acts of all time.
Solo Tours Power Her Rise
While Beyoncé has certainly found success in collaborations, especially her joint tours with Jay-Z and early career outings with Missy Elliott and Alicia Keys, it's her solo headlining treks that have generated the majority of her touring revenue. From Dangerously in Love to Renaissance, her six solo tours have ranked among her highest-grossing and most far-reaching.
The Final Push May Be Coming Soon
Bey's Cowboy Carter is the second installment in a planned album trilogy that began with Renaissance. With the third act expected as early as 2026, fans are already wondering whether she'll embark on another stadium-filling tour. If such a venture – which has not been announced – performs on par with her last two, another $300–$400 million in grosses could be enough to push Beyoncé past the $2 billion milestone, possibly by 2027.

This Video Of Mariah Carey Finding Out That Katy Perry Went To Space Is The Funniest Thing I've Seen All Week, And You Need To Watch It
Back in April, Katy Perry and five others took a 10-minute trip to space thanks to Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin aerospace company, and it was basically all anyone talked about for about a week. Maybe even two. Blue Origin / Via Gilbert Flores / Getty Images Between the backlash and memes, the interviews and think-pieces, it's almost impossible to imagine that anyone with access to the internet could've missed the news. Which brings us to the one and only, Mariah Carey. Related: In a new interview with the BBC, radio host Scott Mills asked Mariah if she could ever see herself following in Katy's footsteps — only to very quickly realize she had no idea what he was talking about. Even with her big black shades on, the confusion on Mariah's face was evident. 'Did she go to space?' she said. Related: Mariah has a reputation for leaning into a bit every now and then if she's feeling shady; however, in this instance, she appeared genuinely baffled as she dug for answers: 'Where'd she go?!' she asked, looking around the room. Someone off camera chimed in to give Mariah the context that she needed — i.e., that Katy's space mission was rather brief — and the music icon was even more intrigued. 'Into orbit and back? She's like, floating in the…,' she said. 'And this is true?' BBC / Via Related: When Scott clarified that he was, in fact, not making it up, Mariah expressed her admiration, while also seeming totally unbothered by the whole thing, which is a skill in itself. 'Wow, alright Katy,' she said, totally deadpan. 'I'm not mad at her. That's pretty amazing.' And just when you thought the clip couldn't get any better, Scott returns to his initial question of, 'Would you do it?' to which she replied: 'I think I've done enough.' Indeed, you have, Mariah. It truly doesn't get more iconic than that. The video has only been up for a few hours, and already, people are obsessed — not only with the fact that Mariah had no idea about the space trip, but just how chill she is about the whole thing. 'I want to be THIS genuinely chill about actually everything,' one TikTok user wrote. ''I think I've done enough' says it all 🤣' added another. 'Mariah lives in her own World. everyone else is irrelevant 😅,' commented someone else, while another said: 'Only space she knows, is her own 🤣 - Queen Aura' Related: Well, if we needed any more confirmation that Mariah is simply not like the rest of us, then this was it.

Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Why Comedies and Family Movies Don't Often Get Oscar Recognition
It's rare to see a true comedy film in contention at the Oscars, and rarer still to see a lighthearted family film up for consideration. And, in a recent interview, Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis had a guess as to why that might be. Sitting down with Canadian television show Etalk in support of her new film 'Freakier Friday' (in theaters, fittingly, this Friday), Curtis and her co-star Sophia Hammons responded to questions sent in by fans via text message. One such message asked Curtis specifically for her take on why 'more lighthearted/family movies don't win Oscars nowadays.' More from TheWrap Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Why Comedies and Family Movies Don't Often Get Oscar Recognition | Video Sony Sees 23% Increase in Profit From Gaming Despite Uneven Quarter for Film Dick's Sporting Goods Launches In-House Production Studio Warner Bros. Lays Out Plans for 12-14 Theatrical Releases a Year Across DC, New Line and Other Labels 'It's a very good question. Comedies and family movies do not land as serious,' Curtis said. 'Oscars have a more serious sort of vibe to them.' Curtis then asked Hammons if she personally considered 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' a drama or a comedy. Directed by the duo known as The Daniels (Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan), the movie earned Curtis her first Oscar back in 2023 for Best Supporting Actress. That fact is something Curtis was still in awe about at the start of the question. Hammons quickly answered with drama, but just as quickly conceded that the film had comedic elements as well, with Curtis noting, 'It's pretty funny.' With that juxtaposition, Curtis didn't have a concrete answer for the fan's text, admitting she doesn't know for sure. So, her reply text was simple: 'Good question no idea.' When asked in a follow-up question whether there are any children's films that Curtis and Hammons think deserved an Oscar but were snubbed, they were quick to keep it in the Disney family, immediately naming the 1998 animated film 'Mulan.' 'Freakier Friday' hits theaters on Friday, Aug. 8. The post Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Why Comedies and Family Movies Don't Often Get Oscar Recognition | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

The duo reunites for ‘Freakier Friday': What Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan have been up to since 2003
More than 20 years after 'Freaky Friday' became a generational favorite, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back on screen together. The sequel hits theaters Friday, picking up years after the original and introducing a new generation to the mother-daughter body-swap comedy. Released in 2003 as a remake of the 1976 film, 'Freaky Friday' followed a tightly wound mother and her rebellious teenage daughter who magically switch bodies after a fortune cookie mishap and are forced to live each other's lives for a day. The film earned over $160 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. Since then, both actors have taken different paths in Hollywood, but have found their way back to their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman. From Activia ads to the Academy Awards: Jamie Lee Curtis After 'Freaky Friday,' Curtis shifted focus to her literary career and made frequent commercial appearances, including a long-running campaign for Activia. She later returned to acting in both television and film, according to Rotten Tomatoes. 'You Again' (2010) 'Christmas with the Kranks' (2004) 'NCIS' (recurring role, 2012) 'Halloween' films (1978–2022) 'Knives Out' (2019) 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' (2022) — won Academy Award for best supporting actress Curtis has written several bestselling children's books, including 'Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born' and 'Big Words for Little People." In recent years, Curtis has become a public advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility around aging in Hollywood. She has spoken openly about parenting a transgender daughter and addressing industry-wide ageism. According to The Guardian, during a 2018 global press tour for 'Halloween,' fans consistently asked her about a potential 'Freaky Friday' sequel. That interest prompted her to call Disney CEO Bob Iger. 'I said: 'Look, I don't know if you're planning on doing (a sequel), but Lindsay is old enough to have a teenager now, and I'm telling you the market for that movie exists,'' Curtis recalled. A new chapter for Lindsay Lohan Following her time as Anna Coleman, Lohan became one of the most recognized teen stars of the early 2000s. She faced a period of personal and legal difficulties in the years that followed, stepping back from the spotlight before reemerging in the 2020s. 'Mean Girls' (2004) 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' (2004) 'Herbie: Fully Loaded' (2005) 'Falling for Christmas' (2022) 'Irish Wish' (2024) Lohan's career was interrupted by challenges that drew heavy media attention. In the past few years, she's quietly reemerged with a more measured public image. Lohan married financier Bader Shammas in 2022 and welcomed their first child in 2023. In recent interviews, she's spoken about her renewed focus on family and work-life balance. Lohan and Curtis reflect on 20 years When asked what had changed the most in the 20 years since the pair had worked together, Lohan told the "Today Show Australia," 'I've had a kid,' prompting Curtis to laugh and add, 'And mine have grown up.' 'I've lived such a long life in a such a short amount of time, really, and I've learned so many lessons,' Lohan said. 'I'm really grateful for my life today and I'm really appreciative for it. I wouldn't really want to switch with anyone. I wouldn't give up a moment in my shoes with my son or my husband or my family.' At the film's world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Curtis explained the timing behind the sequel. 'There's math involved. You couldn't make this movie if Lindsay didn't have a teenage daughter, so she had to be old enough,' Curtis told TheWrap. 'And there's a nostalgia about the movie. In a time of turmoil, you cling to something nostalgic and familiar, so it's like comfort food.' 'I think 'Freaky Friday' is sort of cinema comfort food,' she added. 'It's satisfying, makes you feel good, makes you laugh, makes you cry.' Solve the daily Crossword
