GiftFromGod Posted Thursday at 02:17 AM Posted Thursday at 02:17 AM The most likely candidates are: Beyonce Gaga Rihanna Madonna P!nk Who will get there first?
poki Posted Thursday at 03:05 AM Posted Thursday at 03:05 AM Madonna just did Celebration Tour and she's expressed (hey hey!) her hate towards stadiums so no way. I'm not sure if Lady Gaga would try and risk her physical health for this, unless she tours over several years like Cher did in the 2000s. I think Rihanna could but will she is the question. Beyonce could after act 3 if she skips a tour for act 2 I think. P!nk could do it if she delivers an album that really slaps. Needs her Kylie Disco / Padam Padam moment which I think P!nk can definitely achieve.
Digitalism Posted Thursday at 03:07 AM Posted Thursday at 03:07 AM P!nk is the only possible answer None of the others do extensive stadium tours 3
JoJo Posted Thursday at 03:28 AM Posted Thursday at 03:28 AM I knew that Pink was a touring monster, but I just googled her latest tour's total gross, and it's $700 million wtf
gustavothehuman Posted Thursday at 03:31 AM Posted Thursday at 03:31 AM Beyoncé is too lazy so it will be P!nk 1
DevilsRollTheDice Posted Thursday at 03:42 AM Posted Thursday at 03:42 AM (edited) Beyonce is a touring force and probably the closest but Renaissance didn't get close to 1 billion, it's hard to imagine CC's tour will when the album did quite a bit worse. She'd have to do 100+ dates and I'm not sure even she has that stadium demand, it was easy to get Renaissance tickets resale. P!nk might also be able to pull it off but only with an OBSCENE amount of dates and touring one show for 3+ years. Gaga probably couldn't do it without touring for years and that would be hard on her health. Rihanna has never been a touring force. I think the record will stand for a long time.

Eternal220 Posted Thursday at 03:50 AM Posted Thursday at 03:50 AM Beyonce, Pink and Madonna definitely could do it too. i love Rih but she didnt build up her touring demand at her peak. gaga definitely no, the demand is not there.
Soda Pop Queen Posted Thursday at 03:54 AM Posted Thursday at 03:54 AM I voted Rihanna for shits and giggles. 10
Devin Posted Thursday at 03:55 AM Posted Thursday at 03:55 AM beyoncé not gaga winning the poll so far gaga and rih have potential, but gaga's health and rih not caring i dont see it.
Cruel Summer Posted Thursday at 04:16 AM Posted Thursday at 04:16 AM I think Beyoncé is the only artist with a realistic chance, with the minor exception of Pink doing an extremely extended tour (which she seems more likely to do than some of the other artists on the list). Madonna doesn't enjoy stadiums apparently, and whether she has that level of demand is kind of in question despite her of course being a major touring force. Gaga just plain wouldn't do a long enough tour with her health concerns. I actually think she could do it if not for that - the Chromatica Ball was entirely sold out, and she could be charging higher prices, so that plus a longer tour means it would be possible for her, IMO. I don't think we know enough about Rihanna's demand in 2025 to say anything definitive. Beyoncé may be in a position where her touring capital peaked with Renaissance - as others noted in this thread, Cowboy Carter did less well commercially as an album, and her own status can only go so far without the associated album being a major hit. But CC not being as big may not actually be consequential - she's still Beyoncé, after all. They're not listed, but I think it's really interesting that huge younger artists like Billie, Olivia, and Sabrina aren't really doing stadiums yet despite the major touring industry surge in the 2020s - I have to wonder if one of them could manage it in a few years' time. But honestly, in all likelihood, I think we see Taylor reach the billion-dollar mark again before anyone else gets there.
byzantium Posted Thursday at 04:54 AM Posted Thursday at 04:54 AM I don't think anyone in the poll will get a 1 billion grossing tour. Beyoncé would have the best shot, but she would need to gross over 66% more than Renaissance and I'm not sure she has the demand or desire to do that many dates. I guess Pink could if she just tours indefinitely. It's a pretty good position to be in so that's what I would do if I were her.
Flower Posted Thursday at 05:08 AM Posted Thursday at 05:08 AM Based on the demand from their arena tour, I would say Olivia and Sabrina are the new girls that have a chance to hit 1B in the long future if they have a few more smash eras. 1

Iaintsorry Posted Thursday at 06:33 AM Posted Thursday at 06:33 AM Beyoncé and P!nk have the most potential, but they'd have to do even more dates than their last tours and being that they're both mothers, they don't have the same freedoms that Taylor has to be able to tour as extensively. Madonna might have a chance if she marketed it as a farewell tour, but also I'm not sure she'll wanna do a lot of dates given her recent health scares
Titanbaddie Posted Thursday at 07:05 AM Posted Thursday at 07:05 AM Beyonce could do it easily with enough dates. If she did Europe, US. Australia and Africa/Asia she'd do it. 1
Blade Runner Posted Thursday at 07:11 AM Posted Thursday at 07:11 AM Beyoncé if she tours for 10 years. 1

Mr. Mendes Posted Thursday at 07:25 AM Posted Thursday at 07:25 AM 3 hours ago, DevilsRollTheDice said: I think the record will stand for a long time. For female artists in particular I think it will absolutely, but with Coldplay joining the $1 billion club too, I think the door is open for a few other male artists/bands to cross that thresshold as well, and if the right ones make an attempt at it, I could see a few names coming close to Taylor (though her final total is indeed massive massive and they still very well may come up short).
cuteboyzay Posted Thursday at 08:27 AM Posted Thursday at 08:27 AM Beyoncé if she ever wanted to do more than 80+ dates for a Stadium Tour, LMAOOO!!! Only Beyoncé imo can do it with the same amount of dates as Taylor. But P!nk also has the ability to do it too, she would just have to do more dates than Taylor and Bey. Gaga also, but she has to be committed. Theres nobody else that can do it. Karol G and Shakira def can do it, but they aren't really MPGs in the U.S.
