I would also be on the edge of my seat if I had any idea who this group is.

Bad Moves were a beloved DC based Power Pop group that played their final gig as a  band of ten years Saturday at the Black Cat.  Or did they  ;D

Three great albums and EP out, they were absolute joy to see live as they clearly enjoyed playing live total ball of energy

beloved
I suspect this word choice is doing some very heavy lifting.

beyonce is just a force to be reckoned with
https://www.billboard.com/lists/boxscore-records-beyonce-broke-cowboy-carter-tour/

those are some insane stats

Beyonce:
Gross & Attendance: Approximately $407.6 million in total gross from 1.6 million tickets sold
(avg tix price $254)

Taylor Swift:
Gross & Attendance: Over $2.07 billion gross with more than 10.1 million tickets sold
(avg tix price $201)

Doing more with less, only 3.5 month tour vs TS's 21 month tour


Now if we could get them to both become democratic candidates, we'd never lose again ;)

Ugh Taylor made $1.6 billion more plus merch etc. $1.6 billion MORE

It’s not close.

Now on a per show basis and after including merch etc would be interesting to know how much each took home. Remember the gross does not all go to artist. Venues, TM, promoters, management, band, roadies, tax authorities etc take a cut

was not even close to implying that B made more?

Taylor, broke so many records, they had to make new record books
but Beyonce did some insane stats with her mini-tour

I for some reason liked that stat to compare the two tours

this was the stat
At just 32 shows, it’s the shortest tour in history to cross the $400 million threshold

You wrote she did more with less.

Am not so sure that means what you think…if Taylor had done way less shows in bigger places and charged more she would have easily replicated those numbers by Beyoncé. Think about it.

But ok. I can see what you mean

My 350lb cousin has also done more with less (or more, from a pure mass view) than Brad Pitt too.
