Ever wonder how much money country stars make when they go out on tour? Well, thanks to Billboard, we’ve got some numbers. Billboard posted the country artists who’ve made the most money from touring over the last several years. Some of the amounts they’ve made might surprise you.
When a country star heads out on the road for a tour they could be away from home for months. The money they make has got to be worth it right? Oh yeah! There are a lot of artists that are bringing in major money. Some of these artists have been touring for years, and some just started hitting the road fairly recently.
Take artists like Morgan Wallen and Chris Stapleton for example. Both of them have really only been touring for a few years. Chris started headlining in like 2017 and Morgan in 2021. Chris Stapleton has already made over $224 million from touring, and Morgan Wallen has made over $278 million.
I’ll give you the Top Five artists, and what they’ve made from touring coming up in the article.
However, let’s look at the rest of the Top Ten first:
10. Brad Paisley. He’s made over $335 million from touring over the years.
9. Taylor Swift. They only counted her “country” tours and she made over $339 million during those days.
8. Rascal Flatts. They made over $361 million when they were touring as a group.
7. Jason Aldean. He’s made over $363 million from touring.
6. Toby Keith. Toby has made over $398 million from touring.
I would’ve thought the numbers would’ve been a little higher for some of these artists. Considering they’ve been touring for years. If you want to check out the full list from Billboard, just click here.
