Beyoncé Breaks Previous Tour Records By Reportedly Raking In $154 Million From European Leg Of Renaissance Tour
Beyoncé may have wrapped the European leg of her highly anticipated Renaissance World Tour, but the singer isn't through breaking records.
According to Billboard, the 41-year-old has reportedly hit an all-time career-high after racking up $154 million and selling one million tickets "across 21 shows," with her last stop being on June 28 in Warsaw, Poland.
The publication has also reported that nine days after Beyoncé started her Renaissance tour in early May, it became one of the "top-grossing acts," which isn't surprising based on the eye-catching viral visuals that have been released to the public, surprise guests, including her daughter Blue Ivy Carter and the overall positive fan reactions.
In light of the star's recent successes, xoNecole reflects on other records that Beyoncé has broken with the European leg of her Renaissance World Tour and what this could mean for her career overall.
Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour Breaks Previous European Leg Records
Billboard states that along with Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour being one of the hottest shows in town, the act's current gross income and ticket sales have also topped her other European leg tours. The list includes 2016's The Formation World Tour and 2018's On the Run II, which co-headlined with her husband, Jay-Z.
During The Formation World Tour, Beyoncé made over $86 million, while her co-headlined tour racked up $87 million. With the "Break My Soul" vocalist's recent projections, the gross income has increased by 77%. As for attendance, the 2016 tour sold 867,000 tickets.
At the same time, the On the Run II tour brought in 871,000 in ticket sales which is nearly 130,000 less than what Beyoncé sold on her Renaissance World Tour. It also reported that this is the first time Beyoncé's European "solo tour has broke a seven-digit milestone."
But the mother of three's success doesn't stop there. Billboard's midyear report claims that with Beyoncé making $154 million in gross income in over two months and 21 shows, she has made more than any artist has in a "six-month window," aside from Harry Styles and Elton John, who continues to add more shows dates in Europe.
Beyoncé's Possible Earnings With Renaissance World Tour
Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour will resume in Canada and North America next week, with her first stop in Toronto, Canada, on July 8-9. If the "Cozy" songstress' attendance and gross income continue to rise at its current rate, Billboard reports that she could earn $264 million and generate 1.8 million in ticket sales with 36 shows.
Suppose the projections for the Renaissance World Tour are accurate. In that case, Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour will surpass "the global total of The Formation World Tour," which brought in approximately $415 million and 2.8 million ticket sales, becoming the biggest tour of her career.
Although only time will tell if Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour will generate those projections, however, if and when she does, this will bring the total revenue of all her tours' to over $1 billion in gross income and 10 million in ticket sales.
With the recent revelations of Beyoncé shattering her own records, she continues to showcase why she is, in fact, considered to be the Queen. Congrats Queen Bey!

Smile, Sis! These Five Improvements Can Upgrade Your Oral Hygiene Instantly
This article is in partnership with Sensodyne.
Our teeth are connected to so many things - our nutrition, our confidence, and our overall mood. We often take for granted how important healthy teeth are, until issues like tooth sensitivity or gum recession come to remind us. Like most things related to our bodies, prevention is the best medicine. Here are five things you can do immediately to improve your oral hygiene, prevent tooth sensitivity, and avoid dental issues down the road.
1) Go Easy On the Rough Brushing: Brushing your teeth is and always will be priority number one in the oral hygiene department. No surprises there! However, there is such a thing as applying too much pressure when brushing…and that can lead to problems over time. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and brush in smooth, circular motions. It may seem counterintuitive, but a gentle approach to brushing is the most effective way to clean those pearly whites without wearing away enamel and exposing sensitive areas of the teeth.
2) Use A Desensitizing Toothpaste: As everyone knows, mouth pain can be highly uncomfortable; but tooth sensitivity is a whole different beast. Hot weather favorites like ice cream and popsicles have the ability to trigger tooth sensitivity, which might make you want to stay away from icy foods altogether. But as always, prevention is the best medicine here. Switching to a toothpaste like Sensodyne’s Sensitivity & Gum toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth will help build a protective layer over sensitive areas of the tooth. Over time, those sharp sensations that occur with extremely cold foods will subside, and you’ll be back to treating yourself to your icy faves like this one!
3) Floss, Rinse, Brush. (And In That Order!): Have you ever heard the saying, “It’s not what you do, but how you do it”? Well, the same thing applies to taking care of your teeth. Even if you are flossing and brushing religiously, you could be missing out on some of the benefits simply because you aren’t doing so in the right order. Flossing is best to do before brushing because it removes food particles and plaque from places your toothbrush can’t reach. After a proper flossing sesh, it is important to rinse out your mouth with water after. Finally, you can whip out your toothbrush and get to brushing. Though many of us commonly rinse with water after brushing to remove excess toothpaste, it may not be the best thing for our teeth. That’s because fluoride, the active ingredient in toothpaste that protects your enamel, works best when it gets to sit on the teeth and continue working its magic. Rinsing with water after brushing doesn’t let the toothpaste go to work like it really can. Changing up your order may take some getting used to, but over time, you’ll see the difference.
4) Stay Hydrated: Upping your water supply is a no-fail way to level up your health overall, and your teeth are no exception to this rule. Drinking water not only helps maintain a healthy pH balance in your mouth, but it also washes away residue and acids that can cause enamel erosion. It also helps you steer clear of dry mouth, which is a gateway to bad breath. And who needs that?
5) Show Your Gums Some Love: When it comes to improving your smile, you may be laser-focused on getting your teeth whiter, straighter, and overall healthier. Rightfully so, as these are all attributes of a megawatt smile; but you certainly don’t want to leave gum health out of the equation. If you neglect your gums, you’ll start to notice the effects of plaque buildup, which can irritate the gums and cause gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. Seeing blood while brushing and flossing is a tell-tale sign that your gums are suffering. You may also experience gum recession — a condition where the gum tissue surrounding your teeth pulls back, exposing more of your tooth. Brushing at least twice a day with a gum-protecting toothpaste like Sensodyne Sensitivity and Gum, coupled with regular dentist visits, will keep your gums shining as bright as those pearly whites.
Russell and Nina Westbrook Dish On The Key Ways To Avoid Resentment In Relationships
Russell and Nina Westbrook are one of those low-key, unproblematic couples we don’t talk about enough. They met in college and got married in 2015. They also have a beautiful family with three kids. While Russell is an NBA star, Nina is a licensed family and marriage therapist and a mental health advocate.
She recently launched the podcast The Relationship Chronicles with Nina Westbrook, and in the latest episode, she had none other than her husband on as a guest. The college sweethearts dived into important topics from marriage to children and how they navigate it all.
One of the topics they touched on was dealing with resentment in your relationship. The former MVP highlighted the sacrifices his wife has had to make in order for him to pursue a career in the NBA, and that’s why it’s also important for him to support his wife whenever he can.
“For me is respecting and understanding what your partner do and the time it takes,” Russell said. “Not kind of downplaying what they do, understanding the time and energy and effort they're doing to make sure whether it’s their job or making sure home is taken care of, and understanding that, I think that is the challenge of not being resentful.”
Nina agreed and also shared her thoughts on resentment. According to her, one of the best things couples should do is have their own identity and passions outside of the relationship in an effort to be fulfilled.
“I also think that when you’re in a relationship, that’s why it’s so important that each individual kinda pursue their own passions and follow their own dreams as I feel like it only becomes or leads to resentment when one person is not feeling fulfilled in what they're doing in their lives,” she explained.
“And so, they will start to look at the other partner who’s happy or excelling or promoting or moving along in their journey, then they’re left feeling stuck like they sacrificed themselves, their happiness, their career, their future and have not pursued it in the name of the relationship or their partner. So, it’s so much easier to avoid those feelings of resentment when you’re each equally pursuing your passions.”
The couple has many passions that they work on together and separately. Outside of basketball and his family, Russell has become known for his eclectic style and started the fashion brand Honor The Gift. Nina has her podcast, and she also started the mental health website Bene. Together, they run the Why Not? Foundation, which works with kids in underserved communities.
“I’m a firm believer that one person can’t be everything to you, so you have to sort of seek out those different friendships or groups or hobbies or activities that help to fulfill you,” Nina concluded.
