Beyoncé remembers the long struggle behind the success of the Cowboy Carter Tour

JAKARTA - Beyoncé has just scored gold ink in the music industry with the success of the Cowboy Carter Tour, which was crowned the highest-grossing solo tour this year.

The achievement not only confirms her position as the queen of pop and R&B music, but also becomes a tangible proof of the consistency she has built for decades in the competitive entertainment industry.

However, behind the tour's achievements, the former Destiny's Child member revealed that her success did not come overnight. Beyoncé recalled the difficult times when she had to crawl from the bottom to get recognition.

The wife of Jay-Z recounted how she had to fight the skepticism of music promoters for decades before finally being able to fill large stadiums around the world.

For him, this series of concerts is a proof of a dedication that has never faded to what he has been doing since he was a teenager.

"I've been touring since I was 15, non-stop. I'm slowly building my legacy brick by brick," Beyoncé recalled in a recent interview with Pollstar.

He emphasized that the key to success is the courage to invest in yourself. "This performance is proof of the power of consistency and dedication that is poured into any field. I learned at a young age that no one invests in you like you invest in yourself. I slowly build on every tour," he added.

Her struggle began when she was still part of Destiny's Child. Beyoncé tells how the contrast between the facilities she received then and now.

"The first tour that Destiny's Child did with Wyclef Jean, we toured in a minivan. On the next tour in the late 1990s, we had a quick change of clothes in a muddy tent in the rain because we didn't have a decent dressing room, designing our own clothes because the designers didn't want to do it," he said.

Beyoncé also highlighted the obstacles she faced as an R&B artist. For a decade, she admitted that she had to visit every radio station in order to advocate for her works.

The journey continued from being able to only hire a small band, adding background dancers, to finally selling out his first arena ticket as a solo artist.

One of the biggest obstacles he remembers was a long dispute with the promoters. "Decades of fighting with promoters, convincing them that an R&B artist can sell out a stadium," Beyonce said.

In the midst of her incredible commercial success, Beyoncé insists that her main focus remains on her artistic vision and the emotional impact on her fans. She hopes that every audience goes home with a better feeling.

"I continue to invest in myself and stay focused on that vision. I am so grateful to the fans who have been a part of my journey. It is important for me that they leave the show feeling refreshed and inspired, feeling more in love with themselves, and closer to the people they love," he concluded.
