Beyoncé has once again solidified her legacy, rewriting history at MetLife Stadium with a groundbreaking five-night run on her COWBOY CARTER TOUR. Concluding on May 29, the performances officially crowned her the No. 1 artist in MetLife Stadium history, surpassing every previous record across all major categories—regardless of gender. Go off, Bey!

Bey Makes History

The historic shows, held on May 22, May 24, May 25, May 28, and May 29, included one performance in unseasonably cold weather and another in torrential downpour. And still, Queen Bey did not miss a beat. Show after show, she delivered electrifying, soul-stirring sets that captivated over 250,000 fans and affirmed her status as the ultimate global performer.

With these performances, Beyoncé now holds the record for the most concerts performed by a single artist at MetLife Stadium, with 12 in total to date. Her COWBOY CARTER TOUR also marks the most shows on a single tour at the stadium, with five consecutive nights of sold-out crowds and nonstop energy.

Money Moves

Beyond performance milestones, Beyoncé also shattered financial records. Her five-show run is now officially the highest-grossing series in MetLife Stadium history, raking in over $70 million—a feat that cements her as not only a cultural powerhouse but a commercial juggernaut.

The COWBOY CARTER TOUR, which celebrates the critically acclaimed COWBOY CARTER album—a genre-blending exploration of Black identity through the lens of country, soul, and pop—has been lauded for its artistic innovation, powerhouse vocals, and Beyoncé’s continued commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance.

Each night at MetLife brought fans into Beyoncé’s expansive world, with daring visuals, genre-defying musicality, and show-stopping choreography. Despite unpredictable weather, her professionalism and excellence remained untouchable.

An Icon

With these five iconic shows, Beyoncé hasn’t just made history—she’s redefined what it means to headline at one of the largest stadiums in the country. As the COWBOY CARTER TOUR continues to blaze across the globe, MetLife Stadium will now and forever be a landmark in Beyoncé’s unmatched reign.

Beyoncé didn’t just perform at MetLife—she transformed it into her personal rodeo, rewriting records and reminding the world: nobody does it like Bey.
