While it's basically guaranteed that Taylor will cross the $200 million mark with the 1989 tour, there's no way she'll cross the $305 million mark (MDNA's total tour gross). Taylor is only playing 7 dates in Europe (excluding the London date, because that's a festival, and that won't be added to her gross), and all the dates in Europe are in arenas. The MDNA tour had 29 dates in Europe, and almost all of these dates were played in stadiums. The MDNA tour made $103.3 million based on the European leg alone. There's no way Taylor is going to surpass Madonna.
If anything, the top 2 strongest female touring acts are
1. Madonna
2. Beyoncé/Taylor
Taylor is adding more dates though. There should be some more being announced for Asia tomorrow. At this point it is hard to make declarations about final tour gross for 1989 World Tour.
The Top 5 touring acts right now are
Taylor
Madonna
Beyonce
Katy Perry
Rihanna
Gaga is very strong too, but I think Rihanna probably edges her right now. Might be different for their next eras though. Pink could be the 5th too. I am not sure how frequently she tours though.
(The number for TF is lower than it should be because I couldn't find all the numbers. C2C isn't finished, but at this rate it's safe to say $10m is on lock.)
So it's Madonna, Beyonce/Taylor, Gaga, P!nk, Rihanna, and then Katy (though Katy could pass Rihanna).
Interesting how those with the most #1 singles are the lowest in gross. I guess #1 singles don't really translate to people wanting to spend more money on you.
I guess I throw out some real numbers since no one else is.

Cute 2009 stats but as the thread explains, I want today receipts.
"As of right now"
Read a little, and stay on topic.

OT: The day Madonna snatches the 2B mark, woo Lord
Taylor will gross 270-310m with the 1989 tour, I can feel it.
First TMB happene in 2010/2011 and if you're gonna put P!nk and Rih which their latest tours happend in 2012/2013 then you should put also TBTWB which aslo happend in 2012/2013.
All these assumptions aside, P!nk definitely has better touring stats than Rih. I would put her over Rih tbh.
But Rihanna is headlining Rock in Rio later this year. I dont think pink could do anything like that tbh. Rihanna is a more dominant figure in the public, and has a bigger discography. If Pink and Rihanna were both to announce tours right now Rih would definitely be in bigger demand, sans Australia.
