Beyoncé is also gearing up to make stops in London, Amsterdam, Miami, and Philadelphia.

After most of the tour’s tickets sold out within minutes, the multi-hyphenate performer added dates to cities like Toronto, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Houston.

Meanwhile, according to Forbes, Bey's Renaissance World Tour could beat Taylor Swift's phenomenally successful The Eras Tour by a whopping $600 million!

Though the Midnight artist's ticket sales broke Ticketmaster records with single-day sales, Bey's concert is expected to gross between $275 million and $2.57 billion from tickets alone.

Per the site, Bey could rack up nearly $2.2 billion just from the tour, which is $600 million more than the $1.6 billion T-Swift could earn.

The Anti-Hero artist is still touring, so there's still time to see which of these female powerhouses' tours will be the money-maker.

Nevertheless, let the Renaissance begin!
