List of highest-grossing concert tours by women

The following is a list of the highest-grossing concert tours by women (soloists and all-female groups), divided in all-time terms and by decade. Many reported figures are taken from Billboard and Pollstar, two major publications that regularly provide the official figures of concerts' gross revenue worldwide; although both publications have had missing data in their early reporting, including the lattermost which did not begin to track overseas data until late 2000s.

Taylor Swift performing at the Eras Tour, the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.

Female touring industry have been generally dominated by pop stars such as Madonna, P!nk, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift —who have had their names among the all-time highest-grossing live music artists and have also tours among the highest-grossing concert tours in history— as well G.E.M. from the C-pop scene, Tina Turner from the rock scene, Spice Girls and Blackpink among girl groups, and Celine Dion among adult contemporary balladeers. Turner and Dion were among the first performers to have been claimed with revenue passing $100 million in a single tour.

As of December 2024, the highest-grossing tour by a woman is the Eras Tour by Swift, with a revenue of US$2.07 billion from 147 shows.^[1] The Eras Tour is also the highest-grossing tour ever overall; its figures were not reported to Billboard, which listed Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour as the all-time top female tour excluding the Eras Tour. In the Billboard Box Score history, previous record holders includes Tina Turner's Twenty Four Seven Tour (between 2000 and 2003), Cher's Living Proof: The Farewell Tour (between 2003 and 2006), and Madonna's Confessions (between 2006 and 2008) and Sticky & Sweet (between 2008 and 2023) tours.
