“I have nothing to prove to anyone at this point,” Beyoncé declares in her new tour documentary, Renaissance. Charting her record-breaking 2023 tour, this film offers an inside-look (written, directed and produced by Beyoncé) at the hive required to build something as extraordinary as those live performances. Because Beyoncé doesn’t just put on a show. She puts on the show.
It was blamed for the surprise rise in inflation in Sweden back in June. Combined with the equally dominating force of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, the Renaissance shows sent the US economy temporarily surging out of its pandemic slump. Around 2.7 million concertgoers attended Renaissance over the course of five months, while the tour is estimated to have grossed close to half a billion dollars. She’s that girl.
