The final stats reported from Taylor Swift's RED tour are in and she has surpassed the all-time revenue record for a single tour by a country artist.
Billboard reports that the tour played arenas and stadiums in four continents during a 15-month span.
The magazine's site also reports that the tour brought in an overall gross of $150 million. The prior country artist record, held by double-billed Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Soul2Soul tour, racked up $141 million during 2006 and 2007.
Box office results detailing arena performances during the RED tour place London's O2 Arena ahead of the pack with the highest gross and attendance numbers.
The RED tour currently tops the weekly Billboard Hot Tours ranking.
The tour began last March in Omaha, Neb. and ran for six months in North America. The North American leg of the tour closed with a three-show stand in Nashville in September.
Final box office counts for the tour total $150,184,971 in revenue from 1,702,933 tickets sold at 86 performances in 12 countries.
Gillette Stadium near Boston produced the highest gross and attendance counts with $9.4 million in sales from 110,712 fans at two shows last summer (July 26-27).
Pittsburgh's Heinz Field claims the top gross and attendance counts among stadiums that hosted the tour for a single performance. This show totaled $4.7 million from a sellout crowd of 56,047 last July.
Journey and the Steve Miller Band take the No. 2 spot on the Hot Tours ranking this week with $8.3 in box office sales. Katy Perry lands at No. 3 on the list.
