Beyoncé Knowles-Carter
Singer-songwriter, actress, producer
After releasing the “Renaissance” album in 2022, Queen Bey took Europe and North America by storm in 2023 by traveling to more than 50 cities, making the Renaissance World Tour the highest-grossing concert tour by a female artist of all time before it was dethroned by Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. The superstar was viral all summer with videos of her elaborate sets, custom outfits, mute challenges and mommy-daughter moments on stage with Blue Ivy breaking the internet. Along the way, the Houston native singlehandedly made metallic clothing a trend. Renaissance was long overdue, as it was Beyoncé’s first solo tour since 2016. An intimate, behind-the-scenes film of the tour is slated for release in December. She also announced an upcoming perfume line.
